Courage32mSharing Jesus in Every Circle – Pastor Chris Bell’s Mission
Pastor Chris Bell of Three Circle Church in Fairhope, Alabama joins Philip Cameron for a timely and urgent conversation about the church's call to preach the gospel with uncompromising clarity. Reflecting on the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the cultural shockwave it produced, Chris argues that this is a watershed moment for the American church — one that demands courage, not ambiguity. "Clarity does two things," he says. "It repels and it attracts." For too long, Bell contends, the church has chased cultural relevance and filled seats through watered-down messaging, leaving a generation hungry for the real gospel and for leaders who live privately what they proclaim publicly. Chris draws a sharp distinction between political engagement and gospel priority. While he openly identifies as a conservative and values Christian influence in every level of government, he is clear: "I'm a gospel guy. Political winds will always blow and change, but one thing that does not change is the power of the gospel to transform lives." He celebrates the surge in Turning Point USA chapter applications following Kirk's memorial as evidence that God is turning tragedy into revival momentum. The episode closes with a call for personal revival over cultural cheerleading — urging believers to be consistent, thoughtful, Bible-grounded people with staying power.

Pastors34mLiving on Mission: A Prophetic Conversation with Pastor Chris Bell
Pastor Chris Bell of 3 Circle Church in Fairhope, Alabama joins Philip Cameron for a candid conversation about what it truly means to live on mission — without losing your church, your family, or your soul in the process. Drawing on Acts 1:8, Chris unpacks the vision behind 3 Circle Church's name: reaching Jerusalem first, then Judea and Samaria, then the ends of the earth. "We're not just going to go across the world to reach people for Christ and forget our backyard," he explains, "but we're also not going to focus on our backyard and not care about people across the world." The conversation takes a sharp, practical turn as Chris challenges pastors and leaders to define real success before chasing growth. Growing up on a 200-acre farm, he returns to agricultural language: "I feel like God's given me a field to plow — and I'm going to plow that field." He warns against premature church multiplication, noting that churches risk replicating their own unhealthiness when roots aren't deep. The same principle applies to family: "The greatest tragedy would be to be successful at the wrong thing." Whether you're a pastor, a business leader, or a parent, this episode will sharpen your priorities and call you back to the field God has given you.
