Endurance Over Everything: Why Continuing in Faith Unlocks God’s Greater Purpose
About this episode
Dr. Jerry Grillo, Bishop and pastor of Church 180 in Hickory, North Carolina, joins Philip Cameron to deliver a word that will challenge every believer who is tempted to walk away from what God has called them to do. The conversation centers on a single, powerful truth: endurance is the kingdom qualifier for becoming everything God has destined you to be. Jerry opens with his own raw story — entering Southeastern University on academic probation with a 1.9 GPA and an eighth-grade reading level, failing two semesters in a row, and being counseled by the dean to simply quit. In that moment of desperation, the Holy Spirit spoke clearly: "I didn't bring you here to see if you could pass homiletics and hermeneutics. I brought you here to see if you would quit." That third semester, Jerry made the national dean's list. The battle was never about the test — it was about the continuing. Drawing on Genesis 26 and Isaac's journey through famine to his Rehoboth season, Jerry unpacks how covenant breakthrough demands perseverance through resistance. He introduces the concept of "ANTs — automatic negative thinking" and the bold-prayer principle: "The prayer of faith is not telling God how big your problem is. It's telling your problem how big your God is." For booking or ministry resources, visit drjerrygrillo.com.

Quotes worth sharing
“I didn't bring you here to see if you could pass homiletics and hermeneutics. I didn't bring you to Bible school to see if you could pass their tests or graduate from their school. I brought you here to see if you would quit. And here's what He said to me: 'Where I'm taking you, endurance is the qualifier.'”
“The prayer of faith is not telling God how big your problem is. It's telling your problem how big your God is.”
“You would sell your destiny for five minutes of fake peace. If the devil would just stop for the next five minutes, I'd quit. And here's the key: it's the continuing that the victory comes. Peace doesn't come from... Peace comes from warfare. My peace comes from the conflict. Once I decide to engage in the battle, I get peace over the battle. But if I try to run from the battle, I only get a moment of peace in my fleeing. Then the battle shows back.”

What's Discussed
Bishop Dr. Jerry Grillo, pastor of Church 180 in Hickory, North Carolina, shares how endurance — not a strong start — is the true qualifier for kingdom covenant. Drawing from his personal testimony of nearly being expelled from Southeastern University after two failing semesters, Jerry recounts a defining encounter with the Holy Spirit who told him the real test was whether he would quit. He also unpacks Genesis 26, Isaac's famine journey, and the concept of 'ANTs' (automatic negative thinking), challenging believers to stop telling God how big their problems are and start telling their problems how big God is. Endurance, he argues, is what transforms believers from starters into covenant carriers.

Intro
Philip:Hey, my friend. Welcome to "Daily Faith." My name is Philip Cameron, and the Lord has had you sit there right now watching on your device or wherever you are because He's got a word for you. I'm amazed at God's ability to move us to where He wants us to be. He can move a whole nation across a wilderness to get them to the Promised Land. He can sustain them for 40 years while they wander around making mistake after mistake, and His grace is so sufficient that He still fulfills His commitment, "I'm going to bring you to a land flowing with milk and honey."
Philip:And for all I know, you might be in a wilderness right this moment, and the devil's telling you you're never going to get out, you're walking around in circles. Well, just hold on, as you Americans say, a cotton-picking minute. God has a plan to get you from where you are into your future. Your family may be going to hell in a handbasket. Your health may be failing. I don't know what it is that the devil is — He uses these tools to stop you and hinder you. Well, today, we're going to defeat him in your life in the name of Jesus.
Philip:Do me a favor, share this broadcast. Tell your friends about us, dailyfaith.tv. So easy to get in contact with us. We're also on YouTube. It's youtube.com/dailyfaith. And I would love to meet with you to help you on your daily faith, your walk. We're here to see you through, to affirm your faith, to let you know that God is on your side. And let me tell you something, I don't care how you feel, if God be for you, who can be against you?
Philip:I've got one of my best friends on the program today, one of the greatest men of God. Every time he speaks, he sets my brain on fire, and I believe he's going to do the same thing for you. Dr. Jerry Grillo is a great man of God, pastors a great church in North Carolina, and I can't wait for you to meet him because God has a rhema. Don't you go anywhere. You may have someone in your life right now that's going through a tough time and you're thinking, "Man, well, I would love to get in." Call them right now. Go call them and just say, "Listen, go to dailyfaith.tv live right now." And I promise you what you will hear may be the answer to their situation. So do that right now, and then come and watch the rest of the program. I'm delighted you're here. Welcome to "Daily Faith."
Philip:Hey, my friend. Welcome to "Daily Faith." My name is Philip Cameron, and boy, do we have a word from the Lord for you today. Whatever your circumstance is, whatever thing you're going through, I believe God has an answer. And I've got a dear friend with me, just a great man of God. The moment I met him years ago now, I connect with him like a long-lost brother. And every time he comes on "Daily Faith," he brings a rhema word with him. And I know you might be struggling in your circumstance, but God has the answer to your condition and your problem and your issue.
Philip:That woman with the issue of blood suffered many things over many years and had lost everything. But someone told her about Jesus. Someone was faithful and spoke faith and life into her spirit, and she came up with a brand-new idea, "If I can just touch His garment, I will be made whole." And what she didn't know was the moment she touched His garment and Jesus recognized virtue had gone out from Him, and she stood up and she says, "It's me. I touched you. I'm healed." The very next verse or chapter in the scripture, it says, "Whenever Jesus went to a town, they brought out their sick and lame and laid them on the street so that if they can touch the hem of His garment, they will be healed."
Philip:She opened up a brand-new path of contact to God, and I believe God wants to open up a brand-new contact into your life. And this is a divine moment. I'm telling you, this is a divine moment. 36 years ago, my dad forced me to go to Romania to help him because he'd been watching, recovering from cancer surgery, he'd been watching the news about these orphans in orphanages. He made me go. He literally said, "If you won't go with me, I'll go by myself, and if I die on the way, it's your fault." And I ended up going with him, and I didn't know it, but destiny — God has a plan. And we started a work.
Philip:I found a boy in an orphanage, and I adopted him, and God used him to make me go back and go back and go back. 36 years later, we have got the most amazing place in the country of Moldova, in the capital city of Chișinău. It's called Vatra Village. It is an amazing village of homes right on the largest lake in the country. And we take young girls that are at threat of being trafficked. One girl that you will see in Vatra Village — every one of those kids, each one will earn $300,000 a year for their trafficker captor. And we bring them to our place, we put them back in school, share the gospel with them, and they become missionaries.
Philip:And they just sent me the other day — well, I got a video sent to me. Two of our most wonderful kids, a brother and sister, came from the most horrendous situation, and they came to stay with us at Vatra Village. And now one of them is a social worker working with us, and his sister is one of the house parents of the homes. It's a miracle. Watch this story.
Two children, a brother and a sister, once walked barefoot through a forgotten village in Moldova. They searched for clothes in garbage and wondered if there would be food tomorrow. Survival was their only plan. Until one day, they found hope. At The Orphan's Hands, they found more than help, they found a future. They studied, they grew, they dreamed again. Today, she's a mother building a life filled with love. He is a social worker giving others the care he once needed. And now they returned, not as victims of poverty, but as carriers of hope. Together with The Orphan's Hands, they brought clothes, shoes, food, and something even greater — dignity — back to the same village where their story once began. Because sometimes those who were once rescued become the ones who rescue others.
Philip:Amazing story of mercy and grace. Ana and her husband, Daniel, now are house parents in one of the homes at Vatra Village. Everything we do in Moldova and Ukraine — we're building two homes right now to expand our ministry to reach little kids between the age of four and 16. Everything we've done so far has been done by someone just like you giving $1 a day. You can change an entire world for $1 a day. And Ana and her brother, Tudor, and Daniel, now working with us, had everything in the world changed because someone a few years ago decided to give $1 a day.
Philip:And we're asking people — in fact, we're opening these two new homes, and each of the homes will need 300 sponsors to make it possible to open the home for the food, for transportation, for staff, whatever. And I'm going to ask you today to pray with me, if you would, about being part of healing someone else. You're looking for a miracle for your life. You're praying and saying, "God, I need a healing in my body. I need a healing in my home." Well, why don't you heal someone else's home? Why don't you reach into someone else's circumstance? And by doing so, you are setting up your world to be transformed by the power of God.
Philip:A dollar a day won't change your world. A dollar a day changed Ana and Tudor and Daniel's world. And you can contact us, very simple. You can contact us at The Orphan's Hands, PO Box 25 in Clinton, Tennessee 37716. You can go to dailyfaith.tv and there's a giving page there. You can also go to Daily Faith. How easy is this? Just dial 1-833-DAILYFAITH and someone will pick up your phone — a real live person, not AI. A real person will pick up your phone and take your gift to make a transformation.
Philip:I believe there are businessmen watching me right now, and businesswomen, that God has blessed you for this purpose. Can you imagine opening brand-new homes to take little kids? The kids in Vatra are 16 years and older. These two new houses will be for little kids between the age of four and 16. Let the Lord speak to you today, and I know He will bless you.
Philip:I am absolutely thrilled to have my friend. Every time he comes to be with me on "Daily Faith," I feel like I'm having a spiritual vacation, and his name is Dr. Jerry Grillo, Bishop Jerry Grillo. He pastors Church 180 in Hickory, North Carolina. And I've been traveling in this country for over 50 years, and this man's revelation ministers to me as much as anyone I've ever heard. Jerry, I am delighted to have you with us on "Daily Faith." God bless you, my brother.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:I love being on "Daily Faith" because I love Philip Cameron and all his family. You are so kind. You are my brother, you are my friend. You are the man of God. You're the man of God I strive to want to be like. I just listen to you, and I just love your word. I love everything you do. You're a man of excellence. And I'm so thankful that you had another birthday. You just had a birthday.
Kingdom Is About Becoming, Not Beginning
Philip:Yes. But I'm so thankful that you've come through this surgery, and you're going to have a hundredfold harvest from it —
Dr. Jerry Grillo:I believe it, in the name of Jesus.
Philip:For those that don't know, I've just had five bypasses a few weeks ago, so I'm on the mend every day and God is blessing. I promised myself — yesterday was my birthday, and I said, "Lord, I'm going to be back on TV for my birthday." And I made it, so I'm proud of myself.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:You did it, man. You did it. And you know what, people? I'm going to tell you something. Faith is calling things that are not as though they are. Before Philip had his surgery, he said to me, "This is my goal. I'm going to do it. Start 'Daily Faith' back on my birthday."
Philip:Yeah. Which is three weeks.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:Three weeks ago, you had this surgery. This is incredible recuperation.
Philip:Well, my kids still are nervous, but I'm up and at it and walking around and busy and doing the kingdom's business, and we are feeling great. And every time I have you on "Daily Faith," you bring a rhema word. I know there's someone watching us just now that are right in the middle of a tornado, and the devil's saying, "Quit, give it up, walk away from it all. It's not worth it." But you've a word that you're telling me that my victory comes from my continuing in the faith.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:Philip, the key to the kingdom — it's not how well you begin. The kingdom's about becoming. The kingdom is not about getting saved. It's about becoming something you're called to be. From glory to glory. And the battle to becoming is not in the warfare of beginning. It's in the warfare of continuing.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:God called me. My testimony is that I graduated high school. I had a 1.9 GPA. I was dyslexic. I read at an eighth-grade level, and I got saved in my junior year in high school, struggling. Everything was a struggle to me. God tells me to go to Bible school, and I go down there, and I talk to Dr. Hennessey at Southeastern University — then it was Bible College — and God tells me to go. I go down there. I talk my way in. They give me academic probation. So I begin what I know God told me to do.
Jerry's Bible College Failure Story
Dr. Jerry Grillo:And I get there, and first semester, Philip, I'm doing everything they're asking me to do. And you can do the right things and still fail for a season.
Philip:Absolutely. You can do the right things, be in the right place, and you can actually be where God called you to be and still have to struggle in the plot of the devil.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:Yes, sir. And first semester, Philip, I failed — all Ds and Fs — and I have to have a 2.0 to stay in Bible college. And mind you, I wasn't going to college. God told me to go, so I'm following an instruction. Every situation has an instruction, and the warfare to your battle is your reaction.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:Every situation has an instruction. The devil wants you to hear everything in your world — the ANTs, I call it the ANTs in your mind. The automatic negative thinking. It's got a voice. A-N-T, automatic negative thinking. Got to kill the ANTs. Your brain is being overrun by ANTs, automatic negative thinking.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:And so I go to this school. I'm only 18, 19 years old. I struggled to get there. I'm a mama's boy. I'm crying. I'm alone. I go to this school. First semester, I do everything they ask me to do, but Ds and Fs. Second semester, I get up. They had a wall in the thing called the Wailing Wall, where you went and looked up your grades. I know why they call it the Wailing Wall, because when I went there, I began to wail. And the second semester, I'm doing everything required, but see, I'm behind. I'm at an eighth-grade reading level. I'm struggling.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:And I get through the second semester, I go to the Wailing Wall, and I wail even louder. Because I only got three semesters, and I failed. It's Ds and Fs. They call me into the office, Philip, and the dean of men is there. Dr. Hennessey was there, and they say to me — and this is very important, because God told me to go — and they're trying to tell me, "Well, you don't have to have a college education to preach in the Assemblies of God. You don't have to do that to pastor a church."
Dr. Jerry Grillo:But I'm sitting there thinking, "But God told me to come. God told me to go to school." And now they're telling me — I'm failing at the thing He told me to do. I'm failing, I'm struggling. Nothing's working for me. And this is very important. When you're in the battle of continuing, you better be very careful who's trying to comfort you in your sustainability. They're trying to comfort me, tell me I don't need school. They're not telling me to finish. I got one more semester. They're trying to tell me, "You just need to quit. You're okay. You'll be fine. Yeah, it's okay. You're going to make it. You can still do it." But that's not what God told me to do.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:And I go back to my dorm room, and I fall on my face. I only have one semester, and I'm embarrassed, I'm crying. I can't pass these tests. And I fall on the floor, and I'm wailing at God. I'm angry. I'm angry with God. And I say, "What kind of God are you that you would bring me to school? What kind of God are you that you would tell me to go, I go. I obey your instructions. You know my situation. And what kind of God are you? Is this what I got to expect when I work for you? You call me. How's that going to look?" And I'm telling God this.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:These ANTs won't shut up. "How's this going to look on my resume? Kicked out of Bible school. How is that going to look as a man of God, a minister?" And all of a sudden, Philip, the Holy Spirit comes in on me, and I finally feel His presence. And I'm waiting for this voice, and God says, "Get off the floor. Wipe your tears. Sit on that couch. Quit complaining. I didn't bring you here" — this is what He said to me — "to see if you could pass homiletics and hermeneutics. I didn't bring you to Bible school to see if you could pass their tests or graduate from their school. I brought you here to see if you would quit."
Holy Spirit's Word on Endurance
Dr. Jerry Grillo:And here's what He said to me. "Where I'm taking you, endurance is the qualifier." It's not how you begin, it's how can you continue in the battle. And endurance is the kingdom qualifier to becoming covenant carriers. He took you to Bible school not to pass man's tests. He took you there to see if you could pass His test. And His test is endurance. And His test is, I'm not quitting.
Philip:Do you feel the Holy Ghost in this? Oh, my Lord. There's someone watching right now, and all of a sudden, the light has come on inside of their spirit. And they're thinking, "I'm not quitting." You need to say it out loud. Watching us right now, you need to speak this thing out and say, "I am not quitting."
Philip:On the 28th of April, when I'm recording this — a day after my birthday, three weeks after five bypasses in my heart — and everything inside me says, "Just take it easy. You can retire. You're 71. You've done enough. You've been traveling since you were 13 with your dad." Let me tell you something. I want every demon in hell to sit down for a moment and listen to what I got to say. I am not quitting. I'm pressing on the upward way. New heights I'm gaining every day. Still praying as I'm upward bound. Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. I'm not quitting.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:Endurance is the qualifier. Hallelujah. In Hebrews 11, it says, "Jesus, the author" — that's the beginning — but the key to Jesus is the finisher. It's the other end. He's the finisher. The harvest to my becoming is not in my beginning, but it's in the battle of my continuing. And it's a system of the kingdom. It's a formula of the kingdom that you have to engage in the situation. The plot of the devil will never cease. Never cease. The plots are always coming, and my power of continuing is understanding that God has a harvest or a plan. And I got to get in it.
Killing ANTs — Automatic Negative Thinking
Dr. Jerry Grillo:I wrote down — I was reading this in Genesis 26, where Isaac's in a famine. And here's what God said to me. "The key to the power of Abraham is not to seek prosperity, but to unlock his covenant." It was his covenant. And if Isaac is going to get what Abraham got, he's got to understand the continuing battle to covenant. He can't have his Rehoboth — his season of expansion and getting his season of covenant contract with the God of his father — if he doesn't go through the situation.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:You have to be in the situation. And it's going to torment your mind. It's going to overwhelm your spirit. ANTs. Get those ANTs out of your mind. Those ANTs. Your mind automatically moves into negative thinking. It's conditioned to be negative. It's a part of the mind. It doesn't talk faith. It won't communicate faith. It talks the worst of any situation. But then the Bible says for me and you to take captivity. I'm falling on the floor. I'm crying. The prayer of faith is not telling God how bad your problem is. It's telling your problem how big your God is.
Philip:Oh, my Lord. Feel the Holy Ghost. We're conditioned to tell God how big our mountain is, how big our problem is, how big our cancer is. That's not the answer. The answer is to tell our problem how big our God is. And you can't learn that without surviving the plots.
Philip:Isn't most prayer just like a shopping list, a begging list? And God — it's like talking French to a Scotsman. He doesn't understand. It doesn't mesh. But the moment you start praying —
Bold Prayer vs. Complaint Prayer
Dr. Jerry Grillo:God told me one time, He said, "The enemy to your harvest is your feeling." Your feelings are your enemy. They're not your asset. And here's why. I want God to feel what I feel, so I'm going to pray to explain to God everywhere I'm feeling. And God is not a God of feeling. He's a God of faith. And so I remember praying one time, and God said, "Until you stop telling me how you feel, I can't tell you who I am."
Dr. Jerry Grillo:And in the Book of Acts, chapter four, they go to prayer. And I'm doing this series right now. I'm preaching seven atmospheres that move the Holy Ghost. Seven atmospheres. And the atmosphere of prayer that creates power moves the Holy Ghost. And here's the issue. Peter and John just healed the man at the gate called Beautiful. And the leaders, and the mayors, and the government are threatening them. It made me think of 2020 and COVID. "I'm going to close your doors," and so on. And here's the prayer of the people. "Lord, consider their threats, and grant your church boldness." We're not going to have power if we don't know how to pray bold prayers. And a bold mouth tells the mountain how big God is.
Philip:Well, why is it that we always tend to go to compromise? The church compromises. We compromise. We're always in this compromise mode. Just let me get by.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:You would sell your destiny for five minutes of fake peace. You can sell who you are in God for five minutes. If the devil would just stop for the next five minutes, I'd quit. And here's the key. It's the continuing that the victory comes. Peace doesn't come from... Peace comes from warfare. My peace comes from the conflict. Now, once I decide to engage in the battle, I get peace over the battle. But if I try to run from the battle, I only get a moment of peace in my fleeing. Then the battle shows back.
Isaac's Famine and Covenant Breakthrough
Dr. Jerry Grillo:Here's some thoughts, if you're taking notes. Continuing proves your obedience. Your season may resist you, but your obedience will reward you. So your seasons may be resisting me. And my season was resisting me. I did everything that was required. I was following worldly instructions. I was following the season of the formula. But guess what? My reward wasn't in the season of resistance. It was in not quitting. So my reward is to obey, to continue. And Isaac began to prosper, and he continued to prosper until — he became — now, watch this. You're becoming what you're continuing. So whatever I keep doing, that's where my growth is. That's where my being will be. So my goal is to continue in my faith, because I'm going to become my faith if I continue. So I got to make sure I'm continuing in the right paths.
Continuing Exposes Hidden Wells
Dr. Jerry Grillo:Continuing exposes hidden wells. You know something? That third semester — my third semester, I go back. I don't quit. I don't quit. And this is for somebody, because our time's running out. I don't quit. I go back, and that third semester, I make all A's and one B, and I get on the national dean's list. Why? Because the battle over school was my willingness to continue, and God wanted to test my resolve.
Dr. Jerry Grillo:Somebody's watching me right now. I want you to listen to me. Everything in hell is telling you, "Quit your marriage. Quit your life. Quit your money. Quit your ministry. Quit." The devil is a liar. You're not going to quit. You're going to continue. We're not quitting. And by continuing, your Rehoboth is on the way. Your covenant is about to renew and restore everything in your house.
Philip:Listen, you are watching us. If you're a pastor, Jerry pastors a church, but he travels and goes and holds special services in churches. You need to get in contact with him. It's real simple, drjerrygrillo.com, drjerrygrillo.com. He's written some of the most amazing, faith-affirming books you've ever read. And I know what he does for my spirit. I know how when I chose to come back from this five bypass surgery, I said, "Get me Jerry on the phone. Get me Jerry on. I need him on the program." Thank you for being with me, Jerry. Thank you again. Love you. Get in contact with him, and I'm here to tell you, don't quit, because victory is just ahead. Bye-bye for today.
For over 25 years, the Cameron family has been changing the lives of orphans in Romania and Moldova. From providing running water, flushing toilets, and clean wells, to coal for heat, new windows, as well as food and clothing, they champion the physical needs of the orphans in these broken and desolate countries. Many of Moldova's orphans are saved from the horrors of trafficking through homes founded by the Camerons, and in the process, orphans become daughters and sons. They come to know their heavenly Father and are forever changed by the love of Jesus. God helped the Camerons lift these amazing young men and women out of darkness. Now, no longer orphans, they want to return and invade that very same darkness with the light of Jesus Christ.
The Orphan's Hands equips these daughters and sons to become missionaries. Your monthly gift of $31 will allow us to rescue and take in more girls and boys, saving them from the hell of human trafficking. Your monthly partnership will allow us to care for those in The Orphan's Hands homes in Moldova and the Ukraine. If you want to join Philip and Chrissy in taking care of these precious young people, please contact us today by calling 833-DAILYFAITH. You can also give by going online to www.dailyfaith.tv or by writing to Post Office Box 25, Clinton, Tennessee 37716. So many lives depend on what we do. Thank you for loving the lost.
Common questions
What does Dr. Jerry Grillo mean when he says endurance is the 'kingdom qualifier'?
Dr. Grillo says the kingdom isn't about how well you begin — it's about becoming what God called you to be. He explains that God's test isn't whether you can pass every challenge perfectly, but whether you'll keep going. As God told him directly: 'Where I'm taking you, endurance is the qualifier.'
What happened when Dr. Grillo nearly got kicked out of Bible college?
Dr. Grillo went to Southeastern University on academic probation, failed two semesters with Ds and Fs, and was called into the dean's office where they encouraged him to quit. Instead, he fell on the floor in his dorm room crying out to God — and felt God tell him: 'I didn't bring you here to see if you could pass homiletics and hermeneutics. I brought you here to see if you would quit.' He went back for his third semester and made the national dean's list with all As and one B.
What are 'ANTs' and why does Dr. Grillo say you need to kill them?
ANTs stands for Automatic Negative Thinking — the constant stream of worst-case thoughts the mind defaults to in hard seasons. Dr. Grillo says the mind is conditioned to be negative and won't naturally communicate faith, so believers have to actively take those thoughts captive rather than let them drive decisions like quitting.
Why does Dr. Grillo say telling God how you feel can actually block your breakthrough?
Dr. Grillo says God told him, 'Until you stop telling me how you feel, I can't tell you who I am.' His point is that God is a God of faith, not feeling, and prayers that are just emotional complaint lists miss the mark. The prayer of faith, he says, isn't telling God how big your problem is — it's telling your problem how big your God is.
How does Dr. Grillo explain the connection between continuing in faith and finding peace?
Dr. Grillo flips the common assumption: peace doesn't come from avoiding the battle, it comes from engaging it. He says if you run from the conflict you only get a brief, fake peace before the battle returns — but once you decide to stay in the fight, you get real peace over it. Selling your destiny for 'five minutes of fake peace,' he warns, is one of the devil's most effective traps.
