Carrying the Flame: Bishop Tim Hill on Revival, Purpose, and the Power of the Word

Bishop Tim Hill, Tennessee Overseer of the Church of God and former General Overseer of the global Church of God, joins Philip Cameron to unpack the vision behind his new book, Advancing Beyond Limits. Drawing from Acts 3, where Peter and John heal a lame man at the Gate Beautiful, Bishop Hill reveals four transformative words that define a Spirit-empowered life: labels, limitations, lift, and leap. "Silver and gold have I none," Bishop Hill reminds us — but Peter didn't stop there. He explains that the Holy Spirit enables believers to "see beyond natural sight, give beyond human resource, and touch beyond reach." The lame man's story, he argues, is a blueprint for every pastor and believer living beneath their God-given potential. When Peter lifted the man "by the right hand," he addressed not symptoms but foundational brokenness — a word Bishop Hill applies directly to churches struggling with unresolved foundational issues today. Bishop Hill also speaks to the paralyzing power of labels, sharing a memorable illustration about a pillow tag and the liberating truth that every redeemed believer carries a new name in Christ. Whether you're a pastor needing fresh vision or a believer ready to leap into purpose, this conversation is your moment.
