Daily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Myles Holmes
About this episode
Pastor Myles Holmes of Revive USA joins Philip Cameron for an urgent, unfiltered conversation about the church's responsibility to engage in the 2024 presidential election. Holmes, who drove from St. Louis to Charlotte to attend a private meeting of 1,500 religious leaders with Donald Trump, delivers a firsthand account of what he heard in that room — including Trump's declaration, "In our movement, we don't kick Christians out. We tell Christians to get out and vote." Holmes argues that pastoral silence is one of the greatest threats facing America today, noting that only 2% of pastors will speak politically or endorse a candidate. Drawing a sobering parallel to the church's silence during Hitler's rise, he warns that Christian non-participation is itself a moral choice: "Not voting is a vote for the other side." He calls the modern Democrat platform "the party of the antichrist" from his own pulpit, and makes a biblical case — rooted in principles of life, marriage, gender, and free enterprise — for why followers of Jesus cannot remain on the sidelines. Holmes pastors Revive USA in Collinsville, Illinois. Find him on Facebook at Battle of the Republic and online at revivea.net. This episode is a clarion call for every believer to pray, engage, and vote their biblical values.

Quotes worth sharing
“If they're worth $300,000 a year to the trafficker, surely they're worth a dollar a day to the church.”
“Pastor, if you are not encouraging your people to vote and vote for Trump, you're missing it. You are not prophetic. You are not hearing from heaven. You're actually part of the problem. When you understand that only 2% of pastors in America — Philip, only 2% of pastors — will speak politically and endorse a political candidate. Unbelievable.”
“If you want your fire out, you call the fireman. You don't interview him to see how he talks or how he tweets or how he treats his wife.”
What's Discussed
Pastor Myles Holmes of Revive USA in Collinsville, Illinois joins Philip Cameron to make a biblical and civic case for Christian electoral engagement ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Holmes recounts attending a private meeting of roughly 1,500 religious leaders with Donald Trump in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Trump told the crowd he welcomes Christians and urges them to vote. Holmes cites the statistic that only 2% of American pastors will speak politically, draws a parallel to the church's silence during Hitler's rise, and argues that abstaining from voting is functionally a vote for the opposing side. He calls on believers to vote biblical values on life, marriage, gender, and economic freedom, and directs viewers to his Facebook community, Battle of the Republic, and his website revivea.net.

Intro
Philip:Hello, my friend. Welcome to Daily Faith, and boy, do we have a program for you today. We are six days out as I'm recording this right now. We are six days away from, I believe, the most consequential election in America's entire history. What we do in the next six days, listen to me, will lay the rail lines for the destiny of our country for generations to come.
Philip:If we lose this battle that we are in right now, and let's be under no false ideas, we are in the battle for the soul of America. This is a battle for the soul of America. Unless we stand up for what we believe and get the nonsense out — I don't like Trump and I don't like how he does this, I don't like how he speaks — this has got nothing to do with Donald Trump as a person. This is to do with what he represents. And what he represents is Christian values over heathenism, over barbarism, over the killing of babies. I could go on for ages.
Philip:And the thing that is troubling me the most is this: that America, who claims to be a Christian nation, we are absolutely failing in our duty, our civic duty to guide this nation forward. 70%, 70% of Christians — 32 million — do not vote. 32 million do not vote. If 32 million people would go this week and vote this scripture, vote godly principles, this will be the greatest, unbelievable election there's ever been. It'll be a tidal wave. Never mind a wave, it'll be a tidal wave election.
Philip:And this country — every seat in America, every courthouse, every school board, every part and fiber of this country — will be transformed in a day. And the Christians are sitting at home because of some, I don't know, I don't know what it is. But your responsibility is to vote. And I believe today you're gonna be inspired by my guest. He's a dear friend of mine, Myles Holmes. I've known him since we were both teenagers, and now we're both old men. And it's just amazing to see how God has used this man, especially in the political arena. He is a visionary that has seen things before most of the church saw them, and he's gonna be with me today.
Philip:So I'm excited to have you with us. Share this broadcast. Listen to me, we'll be talking with pastors getting involved in elections. If you love your pastor, contact him right now. Daily Faith TV — very simple, daily faith TV. Do you know that the church has been scared to speak about political things because of an amendment called the Johnson Amendment, that President Trump in his last term set aside? They can't stop you. And I'm gonna let Myles Holmes tell you today exactly how much he's talked from his pulpit, and then what kind of trouble he's got himself into. And you'd be surprised at his answer.
Philip:So we are delighted to have you. Check us out — Daily Faith on YouTube. It's called youtube.com/dailyfaith. Daily Faith TV is our base. That's where all our programs are. You can go through there, they're in catalog, and pretty much anything that you're going through, you'll find in our catalog on Daily Faith.
Philip:We love you. God loves you so much today. You are the apple of His eye. The Bible says that nothing can separate you from the love of God. There's nothing that can break God's connection with you. Nothing can. Your failures just show His grace. The Bible said His strength is made perfect in our weakness. So even when you're at your weakest, you're just giving God a chance to show how strong His arms are around you. Underneath me and all around me are the everlasting arms.
Philip:So we've got a great show, some great news coming from our mission work in Eastern Europe. Things are really, really hotting up there. I'll share some with you today as well, but we're delighted to have you with us. Stick around. Welcome to Daily Faith.
Philip:Hey, this is Philip Cameron. Welcome to Daily Faith. Today we have got a tremendous program for you, and we're coming to you from our studios in the Smokies. We are right on the foothill of the Appalachians, and we just love being here right now. The trees are just finished the peak pass, but oh my goodness, the beauty of the surroundings and rolling mountains for as far as you can see with all the beautiful colors of autumn — it's amazing, it's just wonderful.
Philip:And we are so delighted to have you with us. We've got a very, very important program today. As we're recording this right now, we are only less than a week away from this vital, this pivotal election. If America votes to go the socialist route — and that's what, let me tell you something, Kamala Harris is the most liberal, progressive — that's the new word for liberal — she is the most progressive candidate that America has ever known.
Philip:This woman's father, rather, was a Marxist. He wrote books on Marxism. That's her DNA. And if she gets into power, all of the people that have come into this country illegally will be given citizenship. There are so many things that she will immediately enact that will cause incredible damage, permanent damage. In Scotland — I'm Scottish, if you don't know my accent's from Scotland right this minute — our country, my home country, is literally coming apart at the seams because our country just voted in a Labour, or a socialist, government.
Philip:And the things that they are doing right now — freedom of speech is being taken away. There's a man there called Tommy Robinson that has stood up against grooming gangs of Islamic guys that are taking 12-year-old girls and making them sex slaves. And he exposed all of this because his cousin went through this. And they have literally, yesterday, put him in jail. He was put in jail because they made a video called Silenced, and they banned him from showing it in Britain. But someone showed it in America, and because they showed it in America, the court in Britain sentenced him to 18 months in prison yesterday.
Philip:This country is going the same way. They'll take away your freedom of speech, they'll take away your freedom of everything, because they think that the government is the answer to your problems. Not Jesus, not God — their government is God. And we need to do something about it. So we're gonna have — this is an important show. I can't wait to get to my guest. He's a dear friend of mine.
Philip:Myles Holmes has been part of my life for decades. We were both young boys when we met each other up in New Brunswick, Canada, a long time ago. And both had a whole lot more hair than we have today, and maybe a few less pounds. But oh my goodness, what a great friend he's been over the years. And he is, he's like prophetic in this arena. He saw things and spoke things that no pastors were talking about. And I can't wait for you to meet him.
Philip:Before we go there, I got a videotape the other day from Moldova, which is just absolutely blessing us. For those that don't know, we do mission work in Moldova. 35 years ago, I adopted a wee baby in Romania. And in my waiting for the year to adopt him, I fixed up the orphanage that he was staying in. And that gave me a desire and just a hunger to do more. And it has evolved over the years. We now work in a country called Moldova, which is right next to Ukraine. And we have an amazing place called Vatra Village.
Philip:A village that was built originally for rich people. And the lake that is beside it was poisoned, was full of algae, and they poisoned the lake with chlorine. And all the fish died and all the algae and the whole thing. And along with this village of houses, that project was closed down. And we bought these homes and finished them. And today they are full. Every room, every bed full of young people. Every girl you are watching right now is worth $300,000 a year to the trafficker. If they can get one of those girls — good girls, I'm not talking party girls, good innocent girls — and they can get them, they'll use them 30 to 50 times a day.
Philip:And we have an amazing miracle that takes place every day. We have a home in Ukraine that we've had for almost eight years now, and we're building some new homes that I'm gonna be talking about in the future. But it's just amazing. A girl came to us — Donelan came to us — and her family. She has some of our family at Vatra Village also. But her dream was impossible. She could never reach it by herself. She wanted to be a doctor. Watch this story.
The most devastating moment from my life was when I had 12 years, and I became an adult just in one night when I had to save my mother's life.
Hello, my name is Erlana. I was born in a small village from Moldova. I have an older brother, and they should have had an older sister that could take care of me. When I was a child, I knew what it means to work, because I helped my parents to raise animals and to work the land. My father was violent with me and my family. The most devastating moment from my life was when I had to save my mother's life, because my father was beating her so bad. After the moment with my mother, when I had to save her life, I realized that I want to become a doctor to save many others' lives.
When I finished high school, I was afraid because I didn't know what to do and how to continue my studies because of the financial situation in my family. And I prayed a lot, and God gave me the answer. And it was the Orphan's Hands. Now I'm studying to become a doctor, and I want my future profession to be a way to serve the people, because by saving the bodies, I want the souls to be saved as well. Thank you for everything you're doing for me and my future. May God bless you.
Philip:Isn't that amazing? Isn't that just amazing? I never fail to be thrilled and moved by these kids' stories. She had no hope. Understand this — leaving high school with no future, going towards what she wants to do. That's where the traffickers live, between their dreams and reality. And they'll come and they'll say, hey, you come and we'll get you a job and you can work part-time. And before you know it, they'll get in a car thinking, well, okay, I can work here for a year and get some money. And they never ever get to their dreams. They live in a nightmare.
Philip:And that's what we do every day. We change these kids' lives. This morning early, I got photographs and video of them delivering coal to our village because winter's coming. And that's the most deadly time — minus 30 degrees at times in Moldova over the wintertime. And we are helping girls and boys just like Erlana. That girl in the trafficker's hands is worth $300,000 a year.
Philip:And we need folk like you to be a part with us, to say, listen, we love the kingdom of God, we love these kids, and we want to be a part of the miracle. And you can help us by giving a dollar a day. A dollar a day won't change your economic situation all that much. But I promise you this — for beautiful Erlana, it changed her destiny, who she marries, the kids she has. Her whole family will be lifted out of poverty because someone like you says, I'll make a way where there is no way. You can make a place at the table of mercy and grace.
Philip:And please help us. If they're worth $300,000 a year to the trafficker, surely they're worth a dollar a day to the church. And if you could help us, we're growing, we're expanding every day. We are making some huge decisions even as I speak. And we just need people like you to say, we are with you, Philip. We're gonna stand with you. You can make a check out to Daily Faith or the Orphan's Hands, PO Box 25, Clinton, Tennessee 37716. The quickest way is to go to dailyfaith.tv. There's a giving page there.

Philip:My friend Myles Holmes is with me today, and he is a great man of God. He pastors an amazing church called Revive USA. He's a Canadian, and I'm Scottish. So here you have two foreigners that love America with all our hearts. I never fail to be amazed that I can say I'm an American. What a great miracle. And I'm watching this country being played for right this minute. The darkness is trying to get to the throat of America, and the church is the answer. The church can be the answer.
Philip:Myles, I'm getting all worked up here because I know these are very important days we're living in. Tell us, give us a synopsis of what you are seeing right now.
Holmes Meets Trump at Charlotte Pastors Event
Myles Holmes:Well, I'm very excited. You see the polls, you see the lack of enthusiasm for Kamala Harris. You see the excitement, the gut-level excitement. There's such a depth of love for Donald Trump. The left hates him, despises him. There's a Trump derangement syndrome that is deeply psychological, and I think spiritual as well. But the excitement for Donald Trump is growing by the moment. His McDonald's debut — and it was classic — Jesus, what was astonishing was the left literally saying, don't you know, this was staged, this was a prop, this wasn't real. And we're like, yeah, he didn't really apply for the job. Astonishing, the level of unawareness on the left.
Philip:Yeah, absolutely. It's so funny. With Donald Trump, in a meeting with him and 1,500 other religious leaders, spiritual leaders — tell us how that went. You were invited to go to a Christian leaders meeting.
Myles Holmes:Yes. And I just couldn't make it. Well, what happened is, on my way there, I got a message that the whole thing was canceled because, I think what actually transpired was some pastor let the cat out of the bag, and hundreds of buses showed up. People that were not invited showed up. There were 7,000 people in line. So the event for pastors was canceled. But I talked to some people there and I said, listen, you've got to do something to let some pastors in. I drove from St. Louis, Missouri to Charlotte, North Carolina. Anyhow, I did get in the meeting, and Donald Trump had a wonderful time mocking Kamala Harris' response to two pro-life protesters who showed up at her rally shouting, Jesus is Lord.
Myles Holmes:And he said to the crowd there, you're at the right rally. And when I saw her with that snide remark — you're in the wrong rally — I thought, if that doesn't stir the church, nothing will. She was mocking our Savior.
Trump's Message to Christian Leaders
Philip:Absolutely. She was dissing your faith. They have no — listen, if you are watching us today, let me explain something to you. They have no respect for your faith. None whatsoever. None. Remember, they voted God out of the Democrat platform a few years ago, and put Him back in because there was such an uproar.
Myles Holmes:But Donald Trump responded to that by saying, listen, we love Christianity. He said — yes, I'm quoting him, I was in the room — we love Christians, we love Christianity, we embrace the followers of Jesus. And listen closely to what he said. This was such a cute play on words. He said, in our movement, we don't kick Christians out. We tell Christians to get out and vote.
Myles Holmes:Yes, get out and vote. And it's astonishing to me, Phil. I love your courage. I love your boldness for God and for the Constitution and for America that we grew up in. But listen, pastor, if you are not encouraging your people to vote and vote for Trump, you're missing it. You are not prophetic. You are not hearing from heaven. You're actually part of the problem. When you understand that only 2% of pastors in America — Philip, only 2% of pastors — will speak politically and endorse a political candidate. Unbelievable.
Only 2% of Pastors Speak Politically
Myles Holmes:My Bible tells me we're supposed to lead, not follow. We're supposed to be the head, not the tail. We're supposed to occupy until Christ comes. We're supposed to pray for His kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth just like it is in heaven. Thousands of pastors were silent when Hitler was arising, and he killed 60 to 70 million people. Think of it. Think of it. How many people will die because pastors are silent in America? You've gotta be on the right side. Jesus is on the side of the right. He's on the side of life. Jesus is on the side of capitalism, not socialism.
Pastoral Silence Compared to Hitler Era
Myles Holmes:I can prove that all through the scripture. Not theft, not coveting. In fact, the Bible says, if you want to eat, you work. It's simple. Jesus is on the side of marriage between a man and a woman. Jesus is on the side of male and female, not destroying gender through hormones and surgeries and a satanic agenda — the transgender movement. I can't believe how twisted their thought process has become.
Myles Holmes:That they will argue — I forget, the Supreme Court, the woman that was chosen, the Black woman, when she was asked, can you define what a woman is? She says, I'm not a biologist. And that immediately — I thought, my God, have we fallen so low that we can't even — and what drives me insane in this whole thing, what I can't understand, is that for years it's been women's rights, women's rights. And they've stood for women's rights, and in many instances rightly so. I think women should have sports and have equality in those things. I've got no issues. I think that's all correct.
Myles Holmes:But the very people that made an issue about women's rights are now devastating women's rights. They can put a boy into a women's locker room, and a mediocre — not even a mediocre runner — can destroy any girl. So they're changing all the records, all the swimming records, all the volleyball, everything is being transformed negatively. And the people that stood up for women's rights — they're gone.
Philip:It's evil, Philip. There's no bottom to the evil.
Myles Holmes:No, there's not. The bottomless pit. And it's very obvious. There's no limit, there's no floor to how evil it can go. Think of it. And when we are actually saying that tax dollars should support cutting off the reproductive systems of young boys and young girls — when the Democrat party officially says from the White House spokesperson that there should be no limit on the age at which a young child changes their gender — one day they think they're Batman, another day Superman. We don't allow them to smoke or drink, we don't allow them to drive a car, but we're gonna allow them to cut off their sexual organs. It's astonishing. The wickedness, the evil.
Democrat Platform vs. Biblical Values
Myles Holmes:And that people in Washington DC will say, we have to support this. The Democrats are all in on everything that's evil. I call them the party of the antichrist now, from the pulpit on Sunday morning. I tell my people, the Democrats — I'm not talking about your parents' or your grandparents' party. In 2024, the Democrat party is the party of the antichrist. They don't support America. They want wide open borders.
Myles Holmes:When I saw RFK — the younger generation has no idea who the Kennedys were. The Kennedys were the Democrat Party. John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy — these guys represented everything that the Democrats stood for. When I see Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leaving the Democratic Party and becoming a Republican, that in itself needs to tell you that the Democrat Party of today has no — Bill Clinton could not be president as a Democrat. They wouldn't allow him. They would kick him out. He's far too conservative.
Myles Holmes:These guys are off the charts as far as what they do. Elon Musk is another example. I heard him say just the other day, he said, listen to these values: a border, free speech, the First and Second Amendments. He said, these are not Republican values, these are not conservative values. They're American values. He said, that's what I'm fighting for. He's supporting Donald Trump because Donald Trump is supporting American values. It's bigger than Republican, it's bigger than Democrat, it's bigger than libertarian or independent. These are American values. We want America back again.
Philip:Well, I think what's important as well is that a lot of — I've got a dear friend who we argue back and forth on Facebook. If you watch my own private page, you'll catch us. And he's a strong Christian man, a godly man, but he just can't bring himself to vote for — he's conservative, but he can't bring himself to vote for Trump because of how crass Trump can be and how unpolitical he can be. And I keep saying to him, George, listen, you can't vote on a personality.
Philip:You gotta vote on what he brings with him. And you can have the smoothest, nicest Democrat — a socialist Democrat — and they will kill a baby right up to the minute it can be born alive into this world. You talked about Hitler, because no one spoke. 60-odd million died because of Hitler. Do you know that America has killed 63 million American babies?
Myles Holmes:Absolutely, Philip. And don't forget — we killed not just those 63 million, but all the children they would've had. We're talking about hundreds of millions. We wouldn't have had an immigration issue. There'd be no question about needing more immigrants if we had babies in America. It's astonishing. It's absolutely astonishing.
Philip:The level of duplicity and hypocrisy and evil that the Democrat agenda is about right now. And my friends that say, how can you support Trump with a past? And I say, with brokenness and woundedness and not perfection.
Myles Holmes:Well, the truth is, God's always used people with a past that are broken. In fact, that's the only kind of people God's ever used, because that's the only kind of people there are. Every one of us have a past, every one of us are wounded in some way. If you think you're perfect, my goodness, stay five feet away from me, because I don't want to be around when the lightning strikes you. None of us made it. None of us are perfect. No one. If you want your fire out, you call the fireman. You don't interview him to see how he talks or how he tweets or how he treats his wife.
Philip:I said this the other day. When Chrissy had our babies, I didn't go in and sit with the doctor and say, excuse me, I need to see your marriage situation and your past life, your sex life. Do you smoke? Do you drink? No. I just wanted the best doctor in the world to deliver my babies. I was looking for, I just wanted to make sure that the best man or woman there is was around to do the job.
Myles Holmes:Absolutely. And he has proven it. In the last four years he was in office, inflation was minimal, gas was cheap, this country was respected in the world. And we need to stand up and be counted.
Philip:We've got just under four minutes left. Someone's watching us right now and they haven't voted yet, and they've said, I'm not voting, I don't like this. Whatever the excuses you can give — how important is it for this Christian person watching us right now to get off their behind and get to the polls and do something to help save the country? Especially in those swing states. Tennessee — if I voted or didn't vote, it wouldn't make any difference because we are so conservative. It doesn't matter. But if you're living in Ohio or North Carolina or Wisconsin or Pennsylvania or Michigan, vote. It's critical that you vote.
Why Every Christian Vote Matters
Myles Holmes:Do the math. Not voting is a vote for the other side. Think of it. Be logical. Not voting is a vote for the other side. And Philip, I just disagree with you a little bit. I think even in areas where you know your candidate's going to win, vote for them anyhow, because every vote counts. Absolutely. We want the popular vote to be overwhelming as well. We don't just want to win with the electoral college. We want it to be a strong mandate from America to build American borders, to build American defenses, to build American families, to build the American economy.
Myles Holmes:I did a special report just last week, Philip, where I talked about the promises that Trump made. He made wild promises and he kept them. He's making wild promises this time. And what's different about him is he keeps his promises. He says he's gonna do something and he does it.
Philip:Yeah, absolutely. Listen, if Harris keeps her promises, we're sunk. If Trump keeps his promises, we're soaring to new heights in America. Absolutely. Pray, pray, pray. But faith without works is dead. My Christian friend, I told you about George — I told him, he will put Supreme Court justices that are pro-life. He'll never do that, he won't do this. And one after the other, when he did it, I would text him and say, hey, how do you like his new choice? And he grudgingly said, you're right.
Philip:It's true. And he has made some crazy promises. He said that he will cut the price of gas in one year by 50%. That alone would explode the economy of America. Because if your trucking fees go down and their fuel costs go down, then your cost in the store goes down, food costs go down. On that alone, everything goes down.
Trump's Kept Promises and Economic Vision
Philip:We want you to vote. That's basically the thing. And my friend Myles Holmes, he is a pastor of Revive USA in Collinsville, Illinois. Get his website, www.reviveusa.net. And he also has a massive online presence. How can folks get on your Facebook?
Myles Holmes:Just look for Battle of the Republic. Battle of the Republic. That's where I hang out on Facebook. We preach, we pray, we fight for what is right. And God is blessing. Thank the Lord.
Philip:Listen, I love you so much. I respect you more than you'll ever know, because you are not afraid to stand up for what is right. And what he's doing with Orphan's Hands, our church does — I know you are part with it. I love it. Two powerful ministries. Listen, when the church is silent, fools speak in our place. Stand up for Jesus. Go to the polls, vote. And by doing so, I believe that in a week's time, we will have a wonderful victory. We'll see you again. Bye-bye.
Holmes Directs Viewers to Revive USA Resources
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 Ukraine. If you want to join Philip and Chrissy in taking care of these precious young people, please contact us today by calling 833 Daily Faith. 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
Why does Myles Holmes think pastors should openly tell their congregations to vote for Trump?
Holmes argues that only 2% of pastors in America will speak politically or endorse a candidate, and he believes that silence makes pastors part of the problem. He draws a direct parallel to the thousands of pastors who stayed silent while Hitler rose to power, and says that true prophetic leadership means being the head, not the tail — occupying and shaping culture rather than following it.
Has Myles Holmes ever gotten in trouble for preaching politics from his pulpit?
According to Holmes, he has not faced legal trouble for it. He notes that President Trump set aside the Johnson Amendment during his first term, which had previously been used to intimidate churches into silence on political matters, meaning pastors are free to speak.
What did Myles Holmes witness at the Trump meeting with Christian leaders in Charlotte?
Holmes drove from St. Louis, Missouri to Charlotte, North Carolina to attend the event, which was nearly canceled after uninvited attendees showed up and 7,000 people lined the streets. He did get inside and heard Trump mock Kamala Harris's dismissive response — 'you're in the wrong rally' — to pro-life protesters shouting 'Jesus is Lord,' with Trump telling the crowd, 'We don't kick Christians out — we tell Christians to get out and vote.'
What is Myles Holmes's argument for Christians voting even in states where the outcome seems certain?
Holmes pushes back on the idea that votes in safe states don't matter. He says every vote counts because, beyond the Electoral College, he wants the popular vote to deliver an overwhelming mandate — for strong borders, national defense, family values, and economic growth.
How does Myles Holmes respond to Christians who say they can't vote for Trump because of his personal flaws?
Holmes says God has always used broken, imperfect people — in fact, that's the only kind of people there are. He uses the analogy of calling a fireman: you don't interview him about how he talks or treats his wife before letting him put out your fire. He also points to Trump's first term as proof of results — low inflation, cheap gas, and a country that was respected internationally.
