Daily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Earl Glisson

Pastor Earl Glisson of Anchor Faith Church in St. Augustine, Florida joins Daily Faith to deliver a compelling, scripture-rooted argument for why the Church must engage in civic life — and why staying silent is not a spiritual option. Drawing on the biblical model of Joseph, Daniel, Esther, and Moses, Glisson reframes the entire conversation: "The Bible is basically a political book of how God chose a nation." He argues that Christians are not merely religious citizens but kingdom ambassadors whose "citizenship is in heaven" — a government term, not a religious one — obligating believers to represent their King's policies here on earth. Glisson dismantles the myth of church-state separation, explains why the Johnson Amendment is constitutionally unenforceable, and challenges pastors to educate their congregations on party platforms rather than personalities. Citing Isaiah 9:6 and 1 Timothy 3:15, he contends that the Church's ultimate role is to be "the pillar and support of the truth" across every sector of society, including government. He also warns that pure democracies historically transition to socialism and then dictatorship — and that the Church's silence accelerates that slide. If you are a believer who has been told to stay out of politics, this episode will reshape how you think about your vote, your voice, and your kingdom responsibility.
