Church.
The local church matters — and Daily Faith TV makes that case in 46+ conversations with the pastors building it. Earl Glisson on awakening the remnant in perilous times. Travis Johnson on a church unashamed of Jesus. Myles Holmes on standing for truth when culture pushes back. Robbie Mathis on prophetic promise becoming twin-campus expansion. James Coffey on moving from Ziklag to God's promised increase. The thread running through these episodes is the same: the church is not a building or a brand — it's the body God moves through to bring revival, raise the next generation, and meet a hungry culture with real answers. If you're researching what's happening inside today's church or looking for teaching from active senior pastors, this collection is where to start.
Pastors29mDarren Schalk on Raising Kids Without Smartphones and Rebuilding Peerless Church
Darren Schalk, pastor of Peerless Church in Cleveland, Tennessee, joins Philip Cameron for a candid and practical conversation about two of the most pressing challenges facing Christian families and congregations today: protecting children from the dangers of smartphones and social media, and trusting God through the impossible work of church revitalization. Darren draws on his own family's experience raising three children without smartphones until high school, sharing the specific boundaries he and his wife Christy set — including a daily screen-free window from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. for the entire household. "I liken handing a phone to our children and leaving them alone as dropping them off into one of those rental stores, leaving them there for the night with no parental supervision whatsoever," he explains. He also points to a striking cultural shift: where grandparents were once the wisdom-holders of every generation, the digital age has inverted that dynamic and widened the generational gap in ways he calls "a tool of the enemy." Darren also shares the remarkable story of Peerless Church — one of the oldest Pentecostal congregations in existence, founded in 1906 by A.J. Tomlinson. When he stepped in as pastor in November 2023, the sanctuary had been gutted by a flood with no insurance payout and dwindling attendance. By December 2024, the church had completed a $1.1 million facility and owed less than $150,000. Learn more at peerlesschurch.org or visit darrenschalk.com for resources on technology and family.
Church29mAwakening the Remnant: Why the Local Church Matters in Perilous Times
Pastor Earl Glisson of Anchor of Faith Church in St. Augustine, Florida joins Philip Cameron for a wide-ranging conversation about the urgent necessity of the local church in what both men believe are the last of the last days. Earl opens with a striking warning: "You can talk nonsense to yourself all day and no one's going to correct you — but if you go to church, someone's going to say, 'That's not true.'" That accountability, he argues, is exactly why Hebrews' command to not forsake the assembling of ourselves together (Hebrews 10:25) is more than a suggestion — it is a survival strategy. The discussion moves through AI-generated deception targeting deceased ministers, the parable of the ten virgins and the impossibility of buying Holy Ghost oil on Facebook Marketplace, and the abdication of Christian dominion in culture, education, and family life. Earl draws a direct line from Adam's abdication in the Garden to today's church surrendering the raising of children to school systems and entertainment. He also reflects on the prophetic significance of Matthew 24:14 — the gospel preached to every nation before the end — and shares a sobering personal story about his granddaughter that illustrates the spiritual war targeting the next generation. If you are asking whether the local church still matters, this episode is your answer. Find Anchor of Faith Church on YouTube for archived Sunday services.
Courage29mUnashamed of Jesus: Pastor Travis Johnson on Bold Faith in a Compromising Culture
Pastor Travis Johnson, senior pastor of Pathway Church in Mobile, Alabama, joins Philip Cameron to unpack why the American church has traded prophetic boldness for cultural approval — and what it costs us when we do. Drawing from his new book Unembarrassed of Jesus, Travis traces his own "radicalization" as a pastor: from a Miami park shutting down a church baptism and demanding the congregation move to before 5:00 AM, to being canceled by his city council in 2023 over a prayer — only to stand at the White House the following year helping establish the Religious Liberty Commission. Travis argues that the church hasn't been getting involved in politics; politics has been getting involved in the church. "It's either bold faith or it's no faith," he says plainly. He warns that incremental compromise — quietly dropping convictions one by one to avoid offense — has produced "church light, diet Christians" who round off every corner to build a crowd while losing the ability to make disciples. He also shares a vivid illustration about following the wrong truck on the interstate as a picture of how cultural noise drowns out the voice of Jesus. Pathway Church has grown from one campus and two services to five campuses and seven services, with a global reach across Southeast Asia. Get the book at Amazon or text JESUS to 877-856-0444.

Faith28mStop Settling for Less: Moving from Ziklag to God’s Promised Expansion
Pastor James Coffey of The Harbor Church in Laleah, Tennessee joins Philip Cameron to unpack the powerful message behind his new book, Stop Settling for Less — and the remarkable revival story that inspired it. At the close of 2024, Coffey received three words from God: pursue, advance, expand — a divine mandate he unpacked as "pursue my presence, advance my kingdom, and I will expand your borders." What followed was months of intense opposition, building challenges, and municipal battles that tested the church's resolve before a scheduled summer revival changed everything. Drawing on the story of David at Ziklag (1 Samuel 30), Coffey explains how discouragement can cause believers to settle far short of their God-ordained inheritance. "Ziklag may be a place for a season, but it's not a place to settle," he says — and the fruit proved it. In the 15 weeks following their revival, The Harbor saw 174 people commit their hearts to Christ, baptized 53 in a single service, and broke their 11-year attendance record three Sundays in a row after launching a second morning service. Stop Settling for Less is available now on Amazon. If you or someone you love is pressing through a Ziklag season, this episode — and this book — will reignite your pursuit of God's best.
Prophetic34mStanding for Truth in Dark Times: Faith, Israel, and a Courageous Church
Pastor Myles Holmes joins Philip Cameron for a bold, prophetic conversation about the church's responsibility to speak truth in an era of deepening cultural and spiritual darkness. Holmes, who immigrated from Canada to America in 2006 and pastors a thriving, debt-free church in Maryville, Illinois, shares how he has been sounding the alarm on cultural compromise for decades — long before it was popular. "It's not just make America great again," Holmes declares, "it's make America godly again." Drawing on Isaiah 60:1 — "when deep darkness covers the people, that's the time for God's people to arise and shine" — Holmes makes a passionate case for why the church must engage the culture on issues of life, gender, marriage, and the defense of Israel. He recounts his early support for Donald Trump as a providential figure, comparing him to the biblical Cyrus, and explains why he views unwavering support for Israel as both a prophetic and practical imperative. Holmes also discusses his upcoming official Israeli government state visit, where he will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Herzog alongside a thousand pastors. Holmes leads Israel tours through his ministry and can be reached at pastor@milesholmes.com. This episode is a clarion call for Christians to get off the sidelines and into the fight for faith, family, and freedom.
Prophetic34mFrom Prophetic Promise to Twin Campuses: God’s Timing Brings Double Increase
Pastor Robbie Mathis of Freedom Tabernacle joins Philip Cameron to share one of the most remarkable church-growth stories of the year — how a single prophetic word from his wife Jill ignited the launch of two new church campuses exactly nine months later. At the close of 2024, Jill took the microphone and declared that the congregation should enter the new year "expecting" — a word that carried a double meaning, like a woman who is pregnant and anticipating new life. What neither of them realized was that God was already orchestrating a twin birth. Robbie recounts how, within just five days in July 2025, God supernaturally opened doors for two campuses — one in Dahlonega, Georgia, and one in Ball Ground, Georgia — without long-term debt or costly leases. "God just laid these campuses in our lap," Robbie says. The campus pastors in Ball Ground had even relocated to a home just seven minutes from the new meeting location, a detail God had quietly arranged months in advance. As Freedom Tabernacle celebrates its 25th anniversary, Robbie and Philip offer a timely word to pastors and leaders who feel stuck: "We're in a season of acceleration." If you've been carrying a promise that seems delayed, this conversation will rebuild your expectation and faith.
Pastors37mHome Grown Faith – Growing Where You’re Planted
Pastor Johnny Moore of Family Worship Center in Cairo, Georgia joins Philip Cameron to share the story behind his book Homegrown — a transparent, practical guide to planting deep roots and building a thriving church in a small rural community. Johnny planted Family Worship Center in Cairo in 1994 after years of ministry in Ocala, Florida, and has spent 31 years investing in a town of just 10,000 people — turning down opportunities to move to larger cities because, as he puts it, "God wanted me to stay here for the long haul." Drawing on the farming culture of southwest Georgia, Johnny unpacks five pillars he believes every small-town pastor must master: calling, vision, structure, culture, and influence. He compares church structure to staking a tomato plant — "if you don't, then it'll never bear fruit" — and challenges pastors to see themselves not as weekend meeting-holders but as community influencers. He references Jesus's teaching in Mark 4 that the whole kingdom of God is like a farmer casting seed, reminding leaders that fruitful ministry is a slow, deliberate process. Whether you pastor a congregation of 50 or 500, Homegrown offers hard-won wisdom on growing what you have, where you are. Get the book and additional resources at homegrownpastor.com.
Church36mMaking Heaven Full –Elevating Fort Wayne Through Action
Pastor Kyle Mills of Elevate City Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana joins Philip Cameron to share the remarkable story of planting a thriving church in the most violent and impoverished neighborhood in the state. Rather than following the suburban exodus common among growing congregations, Kyle felt a clear call from God to move into the heart of the city — and launched out in faith during the turbulence of 2020, despite critics who predicted the church would close within a year. Kyle draws on Ecclesiastes to explain the leap: "If you wait for perfect conditions, you'll never get anything done." That conviction has fueled a ministry now serving five rehabilitation facilities, running bus ministry for women, men, and children, and welcoming worshippers — some with ankle monitors — into a community of genuine restoration. Kyle also unpacks Revelation 12 and the urgency it creates: Satan's time is short, but so is the Church's window to share the gospel. The conversation is a clarion call for pastors and believers to move beyond the four walls, stop being spiritual consumers, and become spiritual contributors.

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.

Church36mLiving the Book of Acts – Pastor Chris Fletcher’s Message
Pastor Chris Fletcher of Manna Church joins Philip Cameron for a wide-ranging conversation about living with an eternal perspective, radical obedience, and what it truly means to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the 21st century. Manna Church, headquartered in Fayetteville, North Carolina — home to Fort Bragg, the largest U.S. military installation in the world — has planted campuses in 21 states, with a vision to establish a gospel presence near every U.S. military base worldwide. Chris unpacks the danger of shrinking God's purposes down to the span of a single lifetime, drawing on Jeremiah 29:11 in its full context — a letter written to God's people in exile — to challenge the idea that blessing is only for "this little blip of time." He reminds listeners that "our arms can't even wrap around eternity," and that Paul's arrest in Jerusalem was, in fact, the center of God's will. The conversation turns practical as Chris describes Manna Church's "Serve Days," where red-shirted volunteers flood their city with acts of service, proving that "there's no such thing as small outreach" — even a water bottle handed to a stranger can alter someone's eternal destiny. If you're near Fayetteville, North Carolina, visit Manna Church at www.mannachurch.com. Let this episode expand your eternal vision.
Church35mBuilding Eternal Strongholds – Pastor Craig Walker’s Kingdom Vision
Pastor Craig Walker of Upward Church in Pensacola, Florida joins Philip Cameron for a conversation that reframes everything most Christians think they know about the church. Walker, whose ministry has reached over 5 million people for Christ across 22 nations in Africa over the last decade, argues that the Western church has drifted from its primary calling. "We've become settlers instead of pilgrims," he says — trading the Great Commission for comfort, self-help sermons, and a faith focused entirely on this life. Drawing on Genesis 1:28, Psalm 110, Mark 16, and Ephesians 4, Walker unpacks what he calls the "mystery church" — a divine blueprint in which Christ, seated at the Father's right hand, extends His scepter of rule and reign through His people on earth. The conversation challenges believers to adopt an eternal perspective, invest in souls rather than retirement accounts, and recognize that the church is not a building or a coping mechanism but a strategic stronghold advancing the kingdom of God. Walker's book Mystery Church is available now on Amazon. Learn more about his global mission work through Upward Church at upwardchurch.com. This episode is essential viewing for pastors, church leaders, and anyone hungry for a kingdom-minded faith.
Holy Spirit35mThe Glory Returns: Pastor Jeremiah Hosford on Preparing for a Move of God
Apostle Jeremiah Hosford, lead pastor of Abundant Life Church in Locust Grove, Georgia, joins Philip Cameron to unpack the revelation behind his book The Glory Returns — a prophetic call for the Church to stop functioning without the manifest presence of God. Hosford traces the origin of this message to a divine download he received in 2021, during a season when cities were burning, churches were silent, and the nation was fractured. "The church has learned how to live without the glory," God told him — and that conviction launched a tent awakening that drew a thousand people a night, with hundreds remaining on the ground until 2 a.m. in extended revival. Drawing from Exodus, 1 Samuel, and the Day of Pentecost, Hosford builds a compelling biblical case: just as Moses met God at the burning bush while Israel cried out in bondage, the Church today stands at the same crossroads — a nation crying out on one side, and God calling His people up the mountain on the other. He warns that the Church must sever ties with what he calls the "House of Eli" — a system marked by perversion and performance — where gifting is elevated over glory and the Ark of God is treated as a good-luck charm rather than a transforming presence. Hosford also introduces the "House of Abinadab," where the glory eventually became a bother, and contrasts it with Obed-Edom, whom God blessed daily for hosting His presence. Philip Cameron calls the book essential reading for every pastor and church. Pick up The Glory Returns at jeremiahHosford.com or on Amazon.
Courage36mA New Beginning: Pastor Randy Fuller on Healing, Hope, and Holy Spirit Power
Pastor Randy Fuller of New Beginnings Family Worship Church in Northport, Alabama joins Philip Cameron for a bold, unfiltered conversation about the church's mandate to engage culture — not retreat from it. Fuller argues that every New Testament passage about the last days, persecution, and the return of Christ is "always followed with therefore," a call to action, not silence. He and Philip unpack how the American church has ceded ground on prayer in schools, abortion, and gender ideology by staying quiet, and why that silence carries moral weight: "We are as culpable for these babies dying as the ones that are actually doing the job, because we didn't speak up about it." The discussion takes a sharp turn into replacement theology and its real-world consequences for Israel. Fuller warns that any doctrine removing God's covenant with Israel undermines the church's own confidence in God's faithfulness — and points to Zechariah's prophecy that God will judge nations who divide His land. He draws a direct line between anti-Israel ideology and the spiritual and cultural decline visible across Western nations today. This episode is a clarion call for believers to reclaim their voice in the public square, stand firm on biblical truth, and understand that the church shines brightest when the world grows darkest. Tune in for a conversation that will challenge you to move from the sidelines to the front lines of faith.
Church36mLosing Jesus in Church: Pastor Keith Nix on Rekindling a Christ-Centered Faith
Pastor Keith Nix of The Lift Church in Sevierville, Tennessee joins Philip Cameron to unpack the crisis explored in his book Losing Jesus in the Church — a sobering look at why 70–80% of young people walk away from the faith when they turn 18, and only 35% ever return. That means the church is losing roughly half its next generation, and Keith argues it's not a failure of the gospel — it's a failure of how we present it. Keith traces the problem to a slow drift from genuine encounter to religious routine: "We have focused on how can we entertain our children rather than how can we set them up for a genuine encounter with God." He points to a telling cultural shift — congregations that call the altar a "stage" have already signaled a deeper problem. Drawing on 1 Corinthians 2, he contrasts Paul's deliberate choice to preach "in demonstration and power of the Holy Spirit" over persuasive oratory, and echoes Paul's charge to Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:6 to "fan into a flame" a faith that is always in danger of going cold. Whether you are a pastor, a parent, or someone who drifted away yourself, this conversation is a practical and passionate call to intentionality.

Church35mBuilding a Gospel-Driven Community: Pastor Eric Camp on Church, Culture, and Calling
Pastor Eric Camp of Collective Church in Pascagoula, Mississippi joins Philip Cameron for a candid conversation about the state of the modern church and what it truly means to follow Jesus. Drawing from his years of ministry on the Gulf Coast — including navigating Hurricane Katrina, which providentially became the funding catalyst for planting Collective Church — Eric brings hard-won wisdom about trusting God through crisis and allowing him to work in ways we cannot see. The heart of the conversation is a clarion call for authentic discipleship over cultural Christianity. Eric warns that "we're seeing a lack of becoming disciples" and that too many churches are leading people to say a prayer without genuine repentance. Referencing 1 John, he challenges believers to ask whether their lives actually look like Jesus lived. He and Philip discuss the dangerous rise of spiritual deception, the blurring of biblical conviction, and why Eric's congregation deliberately uses the term "Christ follower" rather than "Christian" to anchor identity in the Gospels. Despite the sobering diagnosis, both men point to genuine hope: a growing hunger among Gen Z for something real and transparent, a documented surge of young men seeking God, and revival spreading in unexpected places like Iran. Eric's message is a reset — back to the Word, back to repentance, back to full-custody discipleship. Find Collective Church at mycollectivechurch.com.
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.

Faith28mDr. Jerry Grillo: Unlocking Faith & the 100-Fold Blessing
Dr. Jerry Grillo, pastor of Church 180 in Hickory, North Carolina, joins Philip Cameron for a faith-igniting conversation on the 100-fold blessing and what keeps believers from stepping into God's fullest promises. Drawing from the Parable of the Sower and the story of the children of Israel at Kadesh Barnea, Dr. Grillo unpacks why the soil — not the seed — determines whether a believer produces a harvest. "It was the soil, not the seed," he declares, reminding listeners that receiving the Word is not the same as being transformed by it. Dr. Grillo distinguishes between being "translated" — moving from event to event, conference to conference — and being truly transformed by the Holy Spirit into the unnatural realm where the 100-fold operates. He introduces the "Kadesh Barnea spirit," a cycle of rumination and reverse that keeps people stuck at the threshold of their promise. His prescription: master your mind, master your feelings, and master your conversation — because "everything begins and ends with a conversation." The episode closes with a vivid image from Numbers 13, where two men were needed to carry one cluster of grapes from the Promised Land — a blessing sized not to the carrier, but to the giant. For more from Dr. Jerry Grillo, visit drjerrygrillo.com.
Faith28mFinding Faith's Roots: Grounded and Growing in God's Word
Pastor Tony McAfee of Covenant Life Church in Clinton, Tennessee joins Philip Cameron to sound the alarm on one of the most urgent crises facing the modern church: the collapse of biblical literacy and doctrinal grounding. Drawing on research from George Barna, McAfee reveals that only 6% of Americans hold a biblical worldview — meaning 94% are spiritually adrift, picking and choosing beliefs from a spiritual buffet rather than standing on Scripture. "What we've created is a church that is real wide, but very shallow," McAfee warns, describing congregations blown about by every wind of doctrine. The conversation centers on McAfee's new book, Grounded and Growing, a hands-on discipleship resource designed to drive believers into the deep roots of sound doctrine. Using the vivid image of a lone Highland tree whose roots plunge a hundred feet into the earth while its leaves are stripped bare by the wind, McAfee illustrates why depth — not breadth — is the only thing that sustains faith through life's storms. The book is already trending in Amazon's top 10 under educational discipleship titles just two weeks after release. Pastors, youth leaders, and small-group facilitators will find Grounded and Growing an ideal curriculum. Order it on Amazon or join the live Wednesday-night teaching at cllife — Eastern time 6:30 PM. This episode is essential viewing for anyone serious about biblical discipleship.
Prophecy28mReviving Faith: Keith Nix on Trials & God’s Fulfilled Word
Pastor Keith Nix of Lift Church in Sevierville, Tennessee joins Philip Cameron for a conversation about prophetic fulfillment, national hope, and the urgent call for the church to rise. In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, Keith received two striking words from the Lord — first, that God would place a "divine pause" on the enemy's agenda, and second, a prophetic declaration he heard as it left his own lips: "After insurrection, resurrection." Years before the word "insurrection" entered the national conversation, Keith was proclaiming that God would follow that moment with a resurrection of hope, truth, humility, and common sense across America. Drawing on Romans 15:13 — "God is the God of hope" — Keith reminds believers that hope cannot be extinguished as long as God exists, calling hope and faith "siblings." He cautions the church not to mistake political momentum for spiritual assignment: "This is a time for the church of Jesus Christ to get to work like never before." Keith also introduces his new book, Losing Jesus in Church, a practical guide built around the story of Mary and Joseph losing — and finding — Jesus in the temple, offering eight steps to help believers reconnect with Christ.

Faith28mEscaping Deception: Jim Valekis on Faith & False Beliefs
Jim Valekis joins Philip Cameron to share a remarkable personal journey through three — and arguably four — cultic religious movements, beginning with the Greek Orthodox Church in Birmingham, Alabama, and leading into the Worldwide Church of God founded by Herbert W. Armstrong. Jim explains how a 1960s Life magazine article asking "Is God Dead?" sent a teenage boy into a spiritual crisis that made him vulnerable to Armstrong's radio broadcasts, which offered booklets on biblical proof of God's existence. "It takes a lot of truth to sell a little lie," Jim observes, capturing the seductive logic of cultic doctrine. The conversation moves into the Worldwide Church of God's strict Sabbatarian and Old Testament practices — including a three-tiered biblical tithing system — before tracing Jim's transition into evangelical ministry. There he encountered what he calls the "cult of the American personality," a Declaration of Independence Christianity where personal freedom overrides scriptural authority. He warns that modern churches risk producing spectators rather than disciples, and calls believers back to a marketplace ministry rooted in Christ alone. Jim's book, The Christian in the Cult, is available on Amazon and at smilingicon.com. If you want to understand how deception enters the church, this episode is essential viewing.
Church34mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Craig Walker
Craig Walker, lead pastor of Upward Church in Pensacola, Florida, joins Daily Faith to share a remarkable encounter with Jesus on an airplane returning from Africa — and the divine download that followed. During a two-hour-and-46-minute experience in the presence of Christ, Walker received a clear mandate: the global church must return to God's blueprint for building the New Testament church, not the corporate-American model that has drifted from its core mission. Walker draws on Ephesians 4, Psalm 110, and Revelation 4–5 to reveal what he calls the divine pattern for the church — fivefold ministry gifts serving as the foundation, not the pinnacle, of church structure. "If you're a fivefold minister, you're at the bottom," he explains. "This is the foundation that the church is built upon." He warns that the American church has insulated itself from its primary calling: evangelism and disciple-making. Overseeing more than 16,000 churches across 22 African nations, Walker's ministry has seen over 3.25 million people come to Christ in six years — discipling each new believer for an average of just 83 cents.

Hope34mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Joe Dobbins
Pastor Joe Dobbins, lead pastor of Twin Rivers Church in St. Louis, Missouri, joins Daily Faith to unpack the epidemic of church hurt — and the path back to wholeness. Drawing from his book Hope After Church Hurt, Joe reveals that as many as 65 million Americans hold faith in Jesus but no longer attend church, roughly equal to the number who do. "I felt like the Spirit of the Lord revealed to me that today we don't just need churches that reach the lost, but churches that also heal the found." Joe walks through eight distinct categories of church hurt, explaining why pain alone doesn't define the wound — the lie embedded in it does. Referencing 2 Corinthians 10, he describes how a stronghold is often "a wound wrapped around a lie," and points to John chapter 9 to show that healing requires a personal decision: Jesus never heals anyone against their will. He draws a powerful distinction between miracles (instantaneous) and healing (incremental), challenging the church to develop patience for the journey. The conversation closes with a reminder from Psalm 56:8 — that God collects our tears as evidence, not merely as a record of pain, so that justice can be served and peace can follow. Pick up Hope After Church Hurt wherever books are sold, or visit joedobbins.org to connect with Pastor Joe directly.
Prophecy34mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Bishop Paul Zink
Bishop Paul Zink, overseer of New Life Christian Church in Jacksonville, Florida, joins Philip Cameron for a wide-ranging conversation about the spiritual forces shaping our world and the urgent call for the church to engage in supernatural warfare — not just political action. Drawing on decades of pastoral experience, Bishop Zink warns that "it's more than biblical philosophy against woke philosophy — it's a spiritual nature," urging believers to recognize the demonic character behind ideological movements like wokeism and globalism. Bishop Zink points to the current geopolitical moment as the "beginning of sorrows" described in Scripture, noting that the nations mentioned in biblical prophecy are the very ones dominating today's headlines. He reflects on a pivotal lesson from Dr. David Yonggi Cho's prayer movement in Seoul, South Korea — where 250,000 believers in a single prayer gathering helped push back the threat at the DMZ — as proof that intercession, not military or political mechanisms alone, is what protects nations. He also recommends the film Nefarious as a must-watch for every minister seeking to understand demonic influence on human thought. The conversation closes with a stirring challenge: the church must raise up intercessors and prayer warriors in every city and region, building a spiritual border wall against the powers of darkness. Don't miss this prophetic, grounded conversation with one of America's most respected pastoral voices.
Holy Spirit33mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Barry Carpenter
Pastor Barry Carpenter of Resurrection Church in Daphne, Alabama joins Philip Cameron for a wide-ranging conversation about the deep roots of Christian faith, the power of church history, and what it means to carry the fire of the Holy Spirit into the modern church. Barry traces his spiritual journey from a Quaker congregation in Hampton, Virginia — where a neighbor named Mr. Thompson knocked on his family's door around 1955 and changed everything — through Methodist roots, Anglican influence, and a life-marking encounter at the Asbury Revival. "When desire was birthed in me for God, for his will, for his ways, and to know him — and then eventually to make him known," Barry reflects, capturing the thread that runs through every tradition that has shaped him. The conversation turns to the urgent need for the church to recover its theological heritage, particularly through hymnology. Barry and Philip argue that the great hymns of the faith — written centuries ago by giants like the Wesley brothers and St. Anthony of Padua — carried doctrine to ordinary people in a way modern worship screens cannot replicate. "Good theology plus good hymnology equals good doxology," Philip declares, and Barry wholeheartedly agrees. This episode is a compelling call for believers to stand on the shoulders of those who came before, to rediscover the weight of church history, and to let the Holy Spirit ignite fresh fire in their hearts today.
Church36mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Jesse Jarvis
Pastor Jesse Jarvis of Christ Church in Port Orange, Florida joins Philip Cameron for a timely conversation about the kingdom of God breaking into everyday life — and why no political wave can substitute for genuine spiritual revival. Jarvis, whose church recently expanded to a second historic multi-site location near the Daytona Beach coastline, opens with a powerful reminder rooted in the Sermon on the Mount: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness — they will be filled." That hunger, he argues, is precisely where the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of earth intersect. Drawing on Matthew 6 and the Lord's Prayer — "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" — Jarvis unpacks what it practically means for a Jesus follower to repent, course-correct, and live as a daily citizen of heaven. He introduces his FISCAL acronym (Faithful, Intentional, Sacrificial, Cheerful, Abroad, Local) as a framework for biblical generosity that goes far beyond tithing, challenging believers to invest where God is actually working. Whether you attend Christ Church or are searching for fresh vision for your own church, this episode delivers both prophetic clarity and practical discipleship. Visit joinedwithjesus.org to connect with Pastor Jarvis and Christ Church.
Government36mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Earl Glisson
Pastor Earl Glisson of Anchor Faith Church in St. Augustine, Florida joins Daily Faith to deliver a compelling, scripture-rooted argument for why the Church must engage in civic life — and why staying silent is not a spiritual option. Drawing on the biblical model of Joseph, Daniel, Esther, and Moses, Glisson reframes the entire conversation: "The Bible is basically a political book of how God chose a nation." He argues that Christians are not merely religious citizens but kingdom ambassadors whose "citizenship is in heaven" — a government term, not a religious one — obligating believers to represent their King's policies here on earth. Glisson dismantles the myth of church-state separation, explains why the Johnson Amendment is constitutionally unenforceable, and challenges pastors to educate their congregations on party platforms rather than personalities. Citing Isaiah 9:6 and 1 Timothy 3:15, he contends that the Church's ultimate role is to be "the pillar and support of the truth" across every sector of society, including government. He also warns that pure democracies historically transition to socialism and then dictatorship — and that the Church's silence accelerates that slide. If you are a believer who has been told to stay out of politics, this episode will reshape how you think about your vote, your voice, and your kingdom responsibility.
Politics36mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Myles Holmes
Pastor Myles Holmes of Revive Church USA in Collinsville, Illinois joins Philip Cameron for an urgent, unfiltered conversation about the church's responsibility in the political and moral crisis facing America. Holmes, who pastored in Niagara Falls, Canada for 20 years before planting Revive Church USA, argues that Christian silence at the ballot box is not neutrality — it is complicity. "I'm not a political preacher, I'm a biblical preacher," Holmes declares, pointing out that his convictions on life in the womb, marriage, and gender have never changed — it is the culture that has moved. Drawing on Charles Finney's warning that "thundering pulpits" are the only safeguard against weak government, Holmes dismantles the Johnson Amendment myth, explaining that no pastor has ever been jailed or fined for endorsing candidates from the pulpit, and that the First Amendment makes such restrictions unconstitutional. He also challenges the hyper-Calvinist notion that Christians can sit out elections because "God's will is done regardless," arguing that God's will is only enacted when His people act. Holmes recommends his book Why American Patriots Must Elect Donald Trump and the book Shepherds for Sale by Megan Basham, which exposes outside funding influencing church leadership. He also points viewers to his church at Revive Church USA. If you love your country and your faith, this episode will move you to action.
Pastors38mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Rich Butler
Pastor Rich Butler of Hope Church in Spartanburg, South Carolina joins Philip Cameron for a timely conversation about what it means to pastor boldly in a culture that has drifted from its biblical foundations. Rich shares the remarkable story of Hope Church's acquisition of a notorious strip club at the gateway to Greenville, South Carolina — a building that had been the subject of intercessory prayer for nearly two decades — now being transformed into a place of worship and gospel proclamation. Drawing on the parable of the wise and foolish builder, Rich warns that the church, like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, has developed a dangerous tilt over time due to a faulty foundation. "We have to drop a plumb line and say we're gonna stand on the truth of the Lord," he declares, calling pastors to preach without apology on abortion, gender, sexuality, and Israel. He recounts how Hope Church stayed open during COVID-19, laying hands on the sick in faith, and how a CDC representative challenged them for "denying the science" — a moment Rich used to reaffirm that the church is built on faith, not human intellect. Rich and Philip agree that America's crisis is a church crisis, not a Washington crisis, and that dark times are precisely when the light of the gospel shines brightest.

Faith34mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Chris Fletcher
Pastor Chris Fletcher of Manna Church in Fayetteville, North Carolina joins Philip Cameron for a bold, faith-fueled conversation about the role of the Church in turbulent times. Drawing from Jesus's upper-room teaching in John 13–17, Chris unpacks why the Church — not Washington, D.C. — is Satan's ultimate target, and why that truth should ignite courage rather than fear. "The enemy has lies and intimidation — that's all he has," Chris declares, pointing to the finished work of the cross as the bedrock of Christian confidence. Chris shares the remarkable vision behind Manna Church's strategy to plant congregations near every U.S. military installation in the world, following service members as they deploy across the country and globe. Already present in 21 states and at Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), Manna Church recently launched a campus in Killeen, Texas, near Fort Cavazos. The conversation builds to a stirring call for believers to walk in the fullness of Galatians 5 — in freedom, purity, and the power of the Holy Spirit — and to be genuinely infectious salt and light to a world held captive by fear. If you're ready to trade anxiety for kingdom-minded action, this episode is for you. Learn more at www.mannachurch.com.
Mentorship36mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Andrew Davis
Youth pastor Andrew Davis of Countryside Christian Church in Clearwater, Florida joins Philip Cameron to deliver a passionate, practical conversation about reaching the next generation for Jesus Christ. Andrew serves alongside his father, the senior pastor, leading a youth ministry that has grown from 50 students to 300–600 every single Wednesday night — and saw 140 young people baptized in a single summer. Andrew is direct about the spiritual battlefield facing today's teenagers: "The enemy is attacking their minds through social media, pornography, all these different things that are in front of them 24/7." He challenges churches to stop burying their heads in the sand and instead meet students where they are — addressing depression, identity, homosexuality, and the transgender movement with both truth and love. "The two biggest things this generation is hungry for is the truth and the supernatural," Andrew says, "and thankfully we can offer both of those things through the power of the Spirit of God." The conversation is a rallying cry for youth leaders at every church size. Andrew reminds smaller ministries that "all you need is a mustard seed" — and that young people are not the leaders of tomorrow but the leaders of today.

Prophetic35mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest pastor Buddy Meloy
Pastor Buddy Meloy of New Life Christian Fellowship in Lake City, Florida joins Philip Cameron to deliver a sobering prophetic word for the American church in one of the most turbulent political seasons in modern memory. Drawing from Jeremiah 26:2 — God's command to Jeremiah to speak "all the words" without diminishing or omitting a single one — Buddy calls pastors and believers to stop softening the full counsel of God out of fear of offense or cultural pressure. Buddy connects a prophecy he first shared in 2023 about a coming sexually transmitted plague to the emergence of Mpox (Clade II), now spreading beyond Africa into Europe, framing it through the lens of Numbers 25 and the story of Baal-Peor — a false god of deception and lies whose influence Buddy sees mirrored in today's political and cultural landscape. "You have to look at his tracks," he warns, urging the church to discern wolves in sheep's clothing by their history, not their appearance. The conversation culminates in a call for courageous, Phinehas-like leadership — voices that can speak strongly when necessary and compassionately when required — refusing to compromise with deception at the gates.

Church36mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Eric Camp
Pastor Eric Camp of Collective Church in Pascagoula, Mississippi joins Philip Cameron for a candid, Spirit-led conversation about the state of the American church and the urgent need for genuine discipleship. Eric pulls no punches: "This Americanized Christianity, or cultural Christianity, whatever we wanna call it, is not biblical Christianity." Together, Philip and Eric unpack how a convenience-driven, celebrity-saturated church culture has replaced the costly call to follow Jesus — the very theme of Eric's upcoming sermon series, "Follow," launching at Collective Church. The conversation draws on Jesus's own summary of the Law — love God with everything you are and love others as yourself — as the measuring stick the modern church is failing to meet. Philip shares a powerful personal account of being discipled by his father in a Winnebago motor home across America, illustrating that true discipleship demands discipline. Eric echoes this, warning that less than 50% of Americans now identify as followers of Christ, a sobering sign of decades of "doing church" rather than "being church." From college-campus revivals to end-times prophecy and the spiritual warfare intensifying across the West, this episode is a rallying cry for believers to chase Christ, pursue discipleship, and get back to the basics of following Jesus.

Politics36mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Zach Drew
Researcher and geopolitical analyst Zach Drew joins Philip Cameron for a penetrating conversation about why America is losing its moral and spiritual foundation — and what the church must do to reverse course. Drawing on Benjamin Franklin's famous warning — "A republic, madam, if you can keep it" — Drew traces the decline of American self-government directly to the church's growing complacency and its embrace of Christian humanism. Drew argues that the Founders understood self-government could only succeed if citizens were first governed inwardly by God. Citing John Adams — "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people" — he contends that when the church stopped preaching holiness and began preaching happiness, it opened the door for man-centered ideology to replace the gospel. "You cannot view God through a humanist standpoint, or the gospel will be about you and your happiness and not about God," Drew warns. He anchors the call to renewal in 2 Chronicles 7:14, insisting that national healing begins with God's people, not politicians. This episode is essential viewing for pastors, church leaders, and engaged Christians who want to understand the spiritual roots of America's cultural crisis.

Mentorship36mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor David Camp
Pastor David Camp of West Cobb Church in Marietta, Georgia joins Philip Cameron for a compelling conversation on why the modern church must move beyond event-driven ministry and embrace intentional, one-on-one discipleship. David opens with a deeply personal testimony — the loss of his wife Angela after 32 years of marriage, and how God answered his family's specific, journaled prayers by bringing Beverly, a widow herself, into his life just months later. The conversation quickly turns to the discipleship crisis facing the church today. David warns that "75 to 80% of our kids that graduated high school and go into college will not return to the church," pointing to entertainment-focused ministry as a root cause. At West Cobb Church, David and his team — including outreach pastor Terry Airwood, who served nine years under Francis Chan — have launched a nine-month radical mentoring program targeting men and women under 40. The program requires full family commitment and is built on the New Testament model of life-on-life discipleship. David challenges pastors and church leaders to stop delegating ministry to professional staff and instead become personal change agents. "We have to get one-on-one in the lives of the families within our body," he says. To learn more or connect with West Cobb Church's mentoring program, visit westcobbchurch.com.
Offence36mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Jason Daughdrill
Pastor Jason Daughdrill of Gateway Church in Shelbyville, Tennessee joins Philip Cameron for a candid, Spirit-led conversation about one of the most urgent threats facing the modern church: the culture of offense. Drawing from Matthew 24, Jason makes a striking observation — "offense is the fertile ground for false prophets to blossom." When believers get caught in their feelings rather than exercising discernment, they become vulnerable to voices that simply validate their emotional state rather than speak truth. The conversation moves from the turbulent headlines of the day — political upheaval, cultural mockery of Christ, and the ongoing Olympics controversy — to the deeper question of how Christians should respond. Jason challenges the church to stop reacting to the world and start responding to heaven: "I only do what I see my Father doing." He also unpacks the enemy's rebranding of first-century apostasy as "deconstruction," warning that church hurt, when left unhealed, becomes a recruitment tool for false teaching. With pastoral warmth, Jason reminds viewers that healing begins with identity: "My scars don't define me — His do." He also recommends the book Hope After Church Hurt by Joe Dobbins of Twin Rivers Church in St. Louis. For more from Pastor Daughdrill, visit gtwchurch.com.
Freedom28mReligious Freedom and American Liberties Under Attack
Pastor Myles Holmes of Revive USA joins Philip Cameron for a bold, unfiltered conversation about the spiritual and political battle facing America today. Holmes, who leads a congregation in Collinsville, Illinois, and reaches over 2 million followers through his Facebook pages "Trump and the Great America" and "Battle of the Republic," argues that the church can no longer afford silence on the defining moral issues of our time. Holmes draws on Matthew 12:43-45 — the passage about an unclean spirit returning with seven more wicked spirits — to make the case that not just individuals but entire institutions and generations can come under demonic influence. "The Democrat party today is the antichrist demon possessed party," he states plainly, challenging pastors who refuse to address abortion, transgender ideology, and the erosion of constitutional freedoms. He warns that COVID-era church shutdowns were a deliberate test of government power over religious liberty, pointing to Canadian pastors jailed for preaching as a preview of what could come to America. Philip and Myles close with a shared conviction: the freedom to preach the gospel is itself at stake in the next election, and the church must rise as it has in every great historical turning point. For more from Myles Holmes, visit www.milesholmes.com or follow Battle of the Republic on Facebook.
Offence28mHow to Combat the Spirit of Offense in the Church
Pastor Mark Ivy of Christ Alive Church in Newton, North Carolina joins Philip Cameron for a penetrating conversation about one of the most underdiagnosed crises facing the American church — the spirit of offense. With church attendance in America now below 17% and the average churchgoer attending only 1.7 times per month, Ivy argues that the real problem isn't a lack of evangelism programs — it's that believers can't get along with one another. Drawing from John 13 and Matthew 24, Ivy traces Jesus' own evangelism strategy: "By this will all men know that you are my disciples if you have love one for another." He unpacks the Greek word "skandalon" — the bait placed in a trap — to show how unresolved offense leads progressively to betrayal, hatred, and a loss of spiritual discernment. "Offense blinds me," Ivy warns. "I won't be able to discern the spirit of the day." He also cites Hebrews 12, cautioning that a root of bitterness defiles many, and references John Bevere's landmark book The Bait of Satan. Ivy's call to action is clear: leaders must model compassionate confrontation, root out personal offense, and demonstrate to a watching world that believers can genuinely love one another — because until they do, every evangelism effort risks pulling new converts into a toxic environment rather than a transforming one.
Revival28mRevival, Hope & Healing
Pastor Matthew Cutter of Believers Fellowship Church in Springfield, Missouri joins Philip Cameron for a faith-stirring conversation about the real and present revival breaking out in the local church today. A third-generation Pentecostal preacher who once told God he would never pastor, Cutter shares how God had other plans — and how his congregation has already documented 11 miracles in a single year, including a stage-four breast cancer diagnosis that vanished after prayer at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Cutter draws from 2 Chronicles 7:14 — "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and heal their land" — calling it a divine will and testament available to every believer. He cites sobering Barna Research data showing that fewer than 1% of churchgoers believe Jesus lived a sinless life, and that deep faith commitment dropped 35% from 2022 to 2023, making the case that the church must return to preaching the uncompromised gospel. "I'd rather be canceled by the world and continued by the throne," Cutter declares. He also highlights City Harvest Network under Pastor Rod Parsley as a covering for pastors hungry for revival. If you're ready to believe God for a move of His Spirit, this episode is your call to action. Learn more at mybfc.net and cityharvest.network.
Strongholds28mKeys to Spiritual Warfare Victory
Pastor and watchman Thomas McDaniels joins Philip Cameron for a raw, revelatory conversation on spiritual warfare — and why the modern church has lost its edge against demonic forces. McDaniels opens with a prophetic word he received in 1999 that he says he has never before made public: "The demons are gonna go underground for the next 20 years so that the church will not be prepared for what is coming." That warning, he argues, has played out with alarming precision across American Christianity. Drawing on 37 years of pastoral ministry, McDaniels traces how the church shifted from pre-service intercession and regular deliverance to coffee bars and casual conversation — and why that shift matters spiritually. He references Jude's call to "contend for the faith once delivered to all the saints" and Matthew 12:29 on binding the strong man, challenging believers to recover both the theology and the tactics of kingdom warfare. "We are failing to turn our experiences into experience," he warns, urging pastors to stop blaming circumstances and start learning God's battle strategy. McDaniels also hosts the Day Maker daily devotional, now broadcasting live five days a week on Facebook. Pastors and leaders can connect with him at thomasmcdaniels.com. Don't miss this urgent call to spiritual readiness.
Holy Spirit34mChurch Revival Strategies: Unleashing Living Water from the Pews
Pastor Derek Draughon of First Assembly in Saraland, Alabama joins Philip Cameron for a fire-igniting conversation about the coming move of God in the local church. Drawing from Isaiah 6 — "In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up" — Derek unpacks what happens when believers stop depending on human leadership and fix their eyes on a God who is completely unaffected by earthly circumstances. Derek challenges pastors directly: "The fear is not in the pew — it's in the pulpit." He argues that congregations across America are hungry for a genuine move of the Holy Spirit, but ministers have never been trained to open the well and let revival flow. Using the vivid image of a 1,700-year-old well discovered beneath a family's kitchen floor, he calls the church to re-dig ancient wells of living water — both the old flow and the new — referencing John chapter 7, where Jesus promises that rivers of living water will flow from those who believe and receive. With Easter Sunday as the backdrop, Derek and Philip urge pastors to lay aside polished programs, trust the Holy Ghost, and make room for miracles. Catch more from Derek Draughon at fuelcast.tv.
Holy Spirit28mSteps of Revival: Sustaining It & Sensing the Holy Spirit
Evangelist and online ministry leader Jason Mayfield joins Philip Cameron to deliver a timely prophetic word: a massive national revival is two to three years away. Drawing on a personal encounter with the Lord in early 2023, Jason shares how the Asbury Revival — as powerful as it was — is only "a precursor," a candle before a house fire. "That is not the great outpouring," he says plainly. "That is a precursor." Jason unpacks three practical steps every pastor and believer can take right now to prepare for revival: Formation (daily prayer and Bible reading), Consecration (intentional separation from distractions), and Visitation (simply positioning yourself to receive). He warns that while no one can force a sovereign God to choose their church, there is plenty we can do to ensure nothing happens — including trying to sanitize the move of the Spirit into a tidy 65-minute service. He also surveys 2,000 years of church history to show that revivals follow a recognizable pattern, and by that pattern, "we are in the window for an outpouring."

Church28mRebuilding Family Altars
Pastor Rich Butler of Hope Church in Spartanburg, South Carolina, joins Philip Cameron to deliver a timely and urgent message on rebuilding family altars in an age of cultural collapse. Rich shares how a Holy Spirit whisper during a pastoral Zoom call launched his church into a year-long pursuit of what he calls "the ancient paths" — drawn directly from Jeremiah 6, where the prophet urges God's people to "ask for the ancient paths, and where the good way is, and walk in it." Rich unpacks how Hope Church is not only teaching families to build altars at home but is literally tearing down pagan altars in Greenville, South Carolina — converting a notorious strip club into a new campus for worship. He draws on Deuteronomy 6 to show how Moses commanded Israel to apply God's culture to their hands, foreheads, doorposts, and gates — four practical areas every family can reclaim today. "If you are not bowing down at the altar of the most high God," Rich warns, "you inevitably are bowing down to an altar in your culture." This episode is essential viewing for parents, pastors, and anyone fighting for their family in a dark season. Learn more about Hope Church at hopesc.org.
Faith28mPreventing Lukewarm Faith
Pastor Tyson Coughlin of Vision Church in Charlotte, North Carolina joins Philip Cameron for a convicting conversation about the dangers of lukewarm faith and what it truly means to be all-in for Jesus. Drawing from Revelation 3 and the letter to the church at Laodicea, Coughlin delivers a sobering reminder that "the greatest threat to the church is not the atheist or the agnostic — it's from within, when people say one thing with their mouth but with their heart and their life they tell a different story." Coughlin unpacks why a cold person is actually closer to repentance than a lukewarm one, because at least they can acknowledge their own need — echoing Jesus' words in Matthew 5:3, "Blessed are the poor in spirit." The conversation turns to Judas Iscariot as perhaps the most vivid biblical portrait of half-hearted devotion: someone who loved Jesus, but not more than he loved himself. Coughlin argues that sacrificial giving — like the woman who broke the alabaster box in the Gospels — exposes lukewarm hearts every time. Vision Church is also in the middle of a million-dollar campaign to transform a 43,000-square-foot warehouse on Independence Boulevard into a 2,000-seat sanctuary. Learn more and connect at visionchurch.com. This episode is a challenge to examine your heart and choose wholehearted devotion over comfortable compromise.
Preparation28mPrepare A Place for Revival
Pastor John Miller of Church on the Rock in Texarkana joins Philip Cameron to unpack what genuine, lasting revival looks like — and how every local church can begin preparing for it right now. Drawing on the Asbury University awakening, the Jesus Movement of the 1970s, and the historic Prayer Revival of 1857, Miller paints a vivid picture of how God moves when His people make room for Him. "The Holy Ghost will only come to where He's welcome," Miller explains. "He is a gentleman — He will not move unless you ask Him to move." Miller traces the 1857 Businessman's Revival, sparked by a simple noon prayer meeting at a Dutch Reformed church in Manhattan under the influence of Charles Finney's convert Joseph Lamphier, which grew from a handful of attendees to a movement that brought a million people to Christ across America. He connects that historical pattern to today's stirrings at Asbury and secular campuses like Texas A&M University, arguing that revival must move beyond church walls to transform culture, politics, families, and communities. Practical takeaways include starting pre-service prayer with leaders, choosing songs directed *to* God rather than merely *about* God, shortening the sermon to extend worship, and opening altar calls. Miller's church saw 25 salvations in a single weekend using these simple adjustments. Visit www.churchontherock.org or download the Church on the Rock Texarkana app to connect with his congregation.
Preparation28mPreparing Your Heart For Revival
Pastor Chris Fletcher of Mana Church joins Philip Cameron for a timely and Spirit-filled conversation about the signs of genuine revival stirring across America. Chris, who leads the flagship campus of Mana Church on Cliffdale Road in Fayetteville, North Carolina — a church-planting movement strategically planted near U.S. military installations around the world — brings a pastor's heart and a prophet's urgency to the question every believer is asking: are we ready? Drawing on the imagery of Old Testament worship, Chris explains that the first step toward revival is personal purity and consecration: "Your ability to stand long in the presence of God is in direct proportion to the cleanliness of your hands." He points to the Asbury Theological Seminary outpouring, the "He Gets Us" Super Bowl campaigns, and moves of God at Samford University and Lee College as evidence that the Holy Spirit is already moving — and warns that a critical spirit is the fastest way to miss it. Referencing the story of Michal despising David's worship of the Ark of the Covenant, Chris makes a compelling case that positioning ourselves for revival matters more than policing it. Whether you're a pastor, a church leader, or a hungry believer, this episode is a call to cleanse, consecrate, and stay open. Learn more about Mana Church at mana.church.
Church29mEmbracing Diversity: The Church's Path to Healing
Pastor Ken Claytor, author of As It Is in Heaven and lead pastor of My Life Church in Orlando, Florida, joins Philip Cameron for a candid conversation on racial reconciliation and the church's unique calling to heal ethnic division in America. Ken shares how over a decade of intentional ministry transformed his congregation from 99% Black to a thriving 50/50 multicultural church — proof that diversity doesn't happen by accident. At the heart of Ken's message is a bold biblical claim: "In the eyes of God, there's one race." He unpacks how Scripture never uses racial categories as we know them today, and how genetics itself confirms that human beings are 99.9% identical. "Being Black is not who I am — it's what I look like," Ken explains. "Who I am is found in Christ." He traces the roots of racist ideology to evolutionary theory and argues that the church cannot fulfill its true destiny while speaking with a fractured voice. Ken offers practical steps for pastors and congregations — from intentional cross-cultural relationships to building genuinely multicultural leadership teams. He also discusses his podcast Doing Life with Kenneth and resources available at kenclaytor.com. Pick up As It Is in Heaven and begin the process of reconciliation in your church today.
Faith28mEmbracing Your Place in God’s Kingdom
Pastor Tom Sprowls of Maryland Brethren Church in Berlin, Pennsylvania, joins Philip Cameron for a rich conversation on the kingdom of God and what it means to live as its ambassadors right now. Drawing from Mark 1 — where Jesus proclaims, "The kingdom of God is here, the time is fulfilled" — Thomas unpacks an awakening he has carried for the past year and a half: the kingdom has already come, and every believer is called to be a witness of what God is doing. The discussion moves into the urgent need to shift from a Sunday-morning church mindset to an everyday, every-moment discipleship culture. Thomas challenges listeners with a direct call: "Love God, love others, and make disciples — that's each and every one of us." He and Philip explore Acts 2:39, generational legacy, and how a faith passed down faithfully can impact millions across a thousand generations. The conversation closes with a timely reminder that no government or political figure will save the world — only Jesus Christ, who declared, "I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." If you are ready to think kingdom-first and invest in a legacy of faith, this episode is for you.
