The 100-Day Journey with Jesus
Tom Hollis, COO of Cornerstone Television Network (CTN) in Wall, Pennsylvania and host of the flagship program Hope Today, joins Philip Cameron to unpack the inspiration and spiritual depth behind his book A Hundred Days with Jesus: A Journey Through the Gospels. Tom shares how the project began as a series of daily devotional emails written for CTN's prayer partners during a season of office remodeling — and how that discipline grew into a full 100-day walk through all four Gospels. Drawing on the teaching of Scottish Bible teacher Campbell McAlpine, Tom explains that meditating on Scripture day by day opens understanding that surface-level reading misses. "These are real people that went through real trials, real stuff," he says, "and it's real history — it's even got a little dirt under its fingernails." He writes each entry by stepping inside the perspective of the biblical characters themselves, including a memorable devotional written from the point of view of a merchant in the temple courts moments before Jesus cleansed them. Tom also reflects on the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15), arguing it is better titled "The Heart of the Father," and on the Great Commission's single word — go — as the irreducible heartbeat of every believer's life.

What's Discussed
Tom Hollis, COO of Cornerstone Television Network (CTN) and host of Hope Today, discusses his book A Hundred Days with Jesus: A Journey Through the Gospels. The devotional originated as daily emails to CTN prayer partners and grew into an 89-chapter walk through all four Gospels, expanded to 100 entries. Influenced by Scottish Bible teacher Campbell McAlpine's emphasis on Scripture meditation, Tom writes from inside the perspective of biblical characters — including a temple merchant during Jesus's cleansing of the temple. He reframes the prodigal son parable (Luke 15) as "The Heart of the Father" and argues the Great Commission's word go demands a literal change of location. The book is available on Amazon under Tom Hollis.
