Yes. I was in Austin on business earlier this summer when KP talked about it form the pulpit.
Some of the producers of Friday Night Lights (a big budget prime time network television drama filmed in the Ausitn, TX area) knew Pastor Phillips from years ago.
When the writers conceived this storyline where one of the main characters is baptized they thought of KP and called the church to speak with him.
KP joked frm the pulpit that he first asked them if they were looking for Randy Phillips or the "old man". They said "the old man!".
Kenneth Phillips listened to the scene they wanted him to play the baptizing preacher in and told them he would do it but only if he could do it his way.
His way of course was baptizing in the name of Jesus Christ.
I believe they also filmed some scenes at Promiseland church after church on a Wednesday night this summer. I don't know if those scenes were cut or if they will appear in a later episode.
