Daily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest pastor Ed Newton

Pastor Ed Newton of Community Bible Church in San Antonio, Texas joins Philip Cameron for a deeply personal conversation about identity, divine calling, and overcoming the lies of the enemy. Ed grew up in a deaf home — both his parents were deaf — and from childhood he served as their interpreter everywhere they went. But the story goes even deeper: Ed's mother, unable to have children, attended a healing service in Charlotte, North Carolina hoping to be healed of her deafness. Instead, an evangelist prophesied over her that she was pregnant. That child was Ed — and he didn't learn this until his mother passed away four years ago. Ed shares how his father's answer to the question "Do you wish you could be healed?" became one of the most powerful moments of his life. His father signed back simply: "You." God had used their deafness to train Ed to be His voice. "God was training you to be his voice," his father told him — a truth that now fuels Ed's forthcoming book and sermon series, Why Not You? The conversation turns to how Satan — and often we ourselves — become the greatest accusers of our own potential. Ed challenges believers with a question posed by a new member of his church: "Is it a sin not to believe what God believes about you?" This episode is a powerful call to receive your God-given identity. Learn more about Ed Newton and Community Bible Church at communitybible.com.
