Daily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Gary Taylor
Pastor and author Gary Taylor joins Philip Cameron to unpack the message of his book Press On Regardless: Pursuing Wholeness after Brokenness — a raw, personal account of finding healing and renewed purpose after devastating loss. Gary shares how a painful divorce at age 54 left him feeling like "everything was over," and how a couple in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, who poured into him night after night with the words "God's not through with you," became the catalyst for a long but genuine recovery. Drawing on Luke 4 and Isaiah 61, Gary explains that emotional healing was a core part of Christ's earthly assignment — "He sent me to heal the broken hearted" — and points to Psalm 147:3 and Romans 15:13 as anchors for anyone whose hope has run dry. He also shares the moment the Holy Spirit quietly told him, "Your calling is still there. What has happened to you has not destroyed your calling." Writing the book itself, he says, became the final chapter of his own healing. Whether you are navigating a broken marriage, a ministry setback, or a season of despair, this conversation offers a scripturally grounded, story-driven case that recovery is real and it is not too late.
