The Katinas on Brotherhood, Gratitude & Staying Faithful for 38 Years

Join host Randy Phillips backstage with The Katinas—five Samoan brothers whose faith, family, and unmistakable harmonies have carried them through nearly four decades of music and ministry. From growing up in a family of 13 with a Marine and Pentecostal pastor for a father to singing “Oh, How I Love Jesus” as children, the brothers share the story behind their calling and the relationships that have kept them together for 38 years. They open up about losing their mother, learning to navigate conflict as brothers, the unseen spiritual disciplines behind longevity, and how gratitude can reset your heart when life doesn’t unfold the way you expected. Then, in one of the episode’s most vulnerable moments, The Katinas reveal that they’ve recently begun asking a difficult question: How will they know when it’s time to stop? Through laughter, live harmonies, honest reflection, and a moving tribute to their late father, this conversation is a reminder to stay grateful, fight for family, and remain faithful to whatever God has called you to do.
