Courage.
Courage is a daily decision in a culture that punishes conviction. 19+ Daily Faith TV episodes explore what it costs and what it produces. Travis Johnson's two-part teaching on being unashamed and unembarrassed of Jesus — when culture demands your silence. Myles Holmes on faith, courage, and a courageous church. Derek Draughon on holding on through transition. Each guest names a specific moment they had to decide between comfort and conviction, and what scripture grounded them. The episodes are honest about the cost — relationships lost, pulpits closed, careers paused — and equally honest about the joy on the other side. If you're searching for Christian teaching on bold faith, standing firm under pressure, or recovering courage you've lost, start here.
Faith29mHolding On Through Transition: Faith, Calling, and Courage in Life’s Uncertain Seasons
Evangelist, pastor, and corporate pilot Derek Draughon joins Philip Cameron for a raw, honest conversation about navigating life's most disorienting seasons of transition. Drawing from 2 Kings 2, Derek unpacks the moment Elisha picked up Elijah's fallen cloak — and why that single act of commitment is a picture of every believer who refuses to go back to the plow. "When you slaughter the oxen and burn the plows," Derek says, "then you hang on until God opens the next door." Derek shares openly about his own year-long transition — resigning his pastorate, stepping into evangelism, and pursuing his calling as a corporate pilot — and the spiritual discipline of clinging to the promises of God when the path ahead is invisible. He anchors the conversation in Romans 11:29, reminding viewers that "God's gifts and His calls are irrevocable," and that calling extends far beyond the pulpit to welders, nurses, soldiers, and pilots alike. Two spontaneous hangar-side prayers illustrate the point powerfully. Whether you are between seasons, facing fear, or tempted to return to what is familiar, this episode delivers a timely word: eliminate distractions, run the race marked out for you (Hebrews 12), and trust that God is cheering you on.

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.

Courage29mFaith, Courage, and Culture: Miles Holmes on Revival and Responsibility
Myles Holmes, senior pastor of Revive Church in Collinsville, Illinois, joins Philip Cameron for a bold conversation about why Christian pastors must engage the culture — and what happens when they do. Drawing on decades of prophetic insight and cultural commentary, Holmes explains how he became one of the first pastors in America to publicly declare that Donald Trump was a "Cyrus for our generation," and why he wrote his 2016 book, Why American Patriots Must Elect Donald Trump, Make History, Save History. Holmes challenges the passive pulpit head-on: "God's will is rarely done. God's will is only done when God's people do what he wants them to do." He unpacks why the Lord's Prayer itself — "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" — is a mandate for civic involvement, and why a Daniel Webster quote from the 1800s still rings true: "Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens." The conversation covers the spiritual roots of America's founding, the cultural shift Holmes sees accelerating under the current administration, and why pastors who speak boldly tend to see their churches grow rather than shrink. Holmes runs two daily broadcasts on his Facebook page, Battle of the Republic, and can be reached at milesholmes.com. Don't miss this call to courageous, kingdom-minded leadership.
Faith29mUnembarrassed of Jesus: Following Close When Culture Demands Your Silence
Pastor Travis Johnson of Pathway Church in Mobile, Alabama joins Philip Cameron to unpack his new book, Unembarrassed of Jesus: Follow from a Distance, Lose Your Faith — Follow Closely, Change the World. Drawing on 25 years of senior pastoral experience, Travis makes a compelling case that "a moderate, passive Christian faith in 2025 is not going to survive — but bold faith will change the world." At the heart of the conversation is the image of Peter following Jesus "at a distance" on the night of his trial — a posture Travis argues mirrors the drift of the modern church. He illustrates the danger with a vivid personal story: while trying to follow a stranger's truck to a tire shop on I-65, he locked onto the wrong black truck and led himself — and his son — completely astray. "Discernment," he explains, "is not knowing the difference between what is good and what is not good — it's knowing the difference between what is good and what is almost good." Travis also recounts the firestorm that erupted after he prayed publicly at Mobile's city hall, his family receiving death threats and being doxxed — yet refusing to apologize, and watching his church experience record attendance and baptisms as a result. Travis Johnson's book Unembarrassed of Jesus is available for pre-order now; text the word BOOK to 877-856-0444 to receive the first chapter free. If you are a pastor, parent, or believer asking how to stand firm when culture demands silence, this episode is essential viewing.
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.
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.

Faith29mFrom Pulpit to Fuel Cast: Tipping-Point Faith, Jericho Walls, and Men
Derek Draughon, founder of Fuel Cast TV, joins Philip Cameron for a powerful conversation about tipping-point faith — the decisive moment when God's word tips the scale and a leader must move forward without looking back. Drawing from Joshua 6, Derek unpacks how the locked gates of Jericho were not a sign of defeat but a signal that the enemy already knew what was coming: "The reason the devil has locked it down is because he knows what's coming." That reframe alone is worth the entire episode. Derek shares the personal story behind his transition from senior pastor to full-time men's ministry, explaining how he had to "see it in his spirit before he could stand in front of the congregation and say it's time to go." He and Philip explore how Proverbs' warning — where there is no vision (revelation), the people cast off restraint — applies directly to husbands, fathers, and pastors navigating rapid cultural change, including the rise of AI. The conversation closes with a sharp word on the two vision-killers: distraction and doubt. Derek points to James and the double-minded man, urging leaders to shut out the grumbling and keep marching. If you lead a family, a church, or a business, this episode will sharpen your resolve.

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.
Faith35mRestoring Hope: Pastor Rick McNeely on Building a Spirit-Filled Community
Pastor Rick McNeely of Christ Community Church in Murphysboro, Illinois joins Philip Cameron for a timely conversation about holding onto unshakeable faith when the world around us is in turmoil. Drawing from Hebrews 12:25-27, Rick unpacks why God allows seasons of shaking — not to harm us, but to strip away everything that cannot last so that only what is eternal remains. "We serve a God that is an anchor of our soul," Rick declares, "and he will bring you to him and hold you in the midst of turmoil and tumult." The conversation moves from Rick's bold decision to keep his church open during COVID — setting up a drive-in worship service in the parking lot when the state shut down churches while keeping taverns open — to the deeper spiritual principle that the church must never compromise its message. Rick is direct: "We're not going to Atlanta. We're talking about heaven, and there's only one way to get there, and that's through Christ." Pastor Rick also explores why fear is the enemy's primary weapon, why authentic love requires speaking truth, and how God's grip on our lives — like a grandfather holding a child's hand on a treacherous path — is always an act of love, never control. Viewers wrestling with uncertainty will find both biblical grounding and practical courage in this episode.
Faith34mFaith Under Fire: Pastor Phil Hutchings on Bold Christianity in Canada
Pastor Phil Hutchings of Higher Life Church in Quispamsis, New Brunswick, Canada joins Philip Cameron for a gripping conversation about what it truly costs to stand for bold Christianity in the face of government opposition. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Phil refused to close his church doors — and paid for it with a stint in solitary confinement, shackled in ankle chains for seven days. "It wasn't about bravado," he explains. "I just realized if there's one time for the church to be open, it would be during this craziness." Rather than silencing his congregation, the arrest became a catalyst. A Satanist who stumbled upon their outdoor worship service — thinking it was a freedom rally — got saved, filled with the Holy Ghost, and is now preaching the gospel. Phil unpacks the spiritual lesson behind the story of the twelve spies in Numbers 13–14, showing how ten spies spoke in agreement with the problem rather than the Promise, and how God gave them exactly what they declared. His book, *A Mouthful of Miracles*, equips believers to stop speaking defeat and start speaking victory. Phil also shares his vision to plant seven new churches — one for every day he spent in jail — as a declaration that persecution only propels the Kingdom forward.

Prophetic34mReviving Truth: Pastor Myles Holmes on Faith, Culture, and Bold Christianity
Pastor Myles Holmes of Revival USA joins Philip Cameron for a candid conversation about the church's responsibility to speak boldly into today's most pressing moral and political issues. Holmes, who gained national attention in 2016 when his video "Top 10 Reasons Why Christians Should Support Donald Trump" drew 7,000 views overnight and led to his book Why American Patriots Must Make History, Save History, argues that pastoral silence is not neutrality — it is abdication. "Since about 95% of political issues are actually moral issues, and 100% of moral issues are biblical issues," Holmes says, "you're going to tell me I'm going to be quiet about moral issues? Of course not." Holmes challenges the common pastoral refrain of non-involvement, contending that God's will is rarely done automatically — it requires God's people to hear from heaven and act. The conversation covers the rise of anti-Semitism on college campuses, the significance of supporting Israel, and why Holmes believes the MAGA movement is at its core a call to make America godly again. Holmes also shares the transformative spiritual experience of visiting Israel, describing moments of worship at the Garden of Gethsemane and the Magdala Stone. For more information on his Israel tour, contact pastor at miholmes.com.
Faith35mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Derek Draughon
Pastor Derek Draughon of Saraland First Church joins Philip Cameron for a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of what the church should be doing right now. Rather than celebrating political wins and waiting for cheaper gas prices, Derek challenges believers to shift into a posture of spiritual perception — hearing God's voice for themselves and acting on it. Drawing on the story of Noah, Derek declares, "If we take the next four years and just enjoy cheap groceries and cheap gas, then we're not perceiving." The call to build an ark is a call to build wealth, legacy, and Kingdom infrastructure before the next storm arrives. The conversation moves into the power of God-given ideas, the tipping point between preparation and bold action, and what it truly means to step out of the boat like Peter. Philip and Derek unpack how perception must lead to preparation, and preparation must eventually tip into courageous, irreversible commitment. Derek reminds listeners that "a good man leaves a legacy for his children's children," grounding the discussion in practical, generational thinking. Whether you are a pastor, a business leader, or a believer sitting on a God-dream, this episode delivers a timely prophetic challenge: stop rocking in your chair, perceive what God is saying, and get out of the boat. Find Derek's podcast at fuelcast.tv.
Politics35mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Myles Holmes
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.
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.
Faith29mHow to Navigate and Reject Ungodliness in Today's World
Historian, archaeologist, and podcast host Mike Coleman joins Philip Cameron to tackle one of the most urgent questions facing believers today: how do Christians reject ungodly cultural influence without losing their love or their witness? Drawing on deep biblical and historical roots, Coleman unpacks Jesus's command in Matthew 10:14 — "shake the dust off" — revealing that this phrase carries far more weight than most modern readers realize. Coleman traces the symbolism of dust all the way back to Genesis, where God cursed the ground after the Fall, and explains how the ancient Jewish practice of never leaving home without shoes — especially in Egypt, considered an unclean land — set the stage for Moses's encounter at the burning bush. "Take off your shoes because the ground you're standing on is holy ground," Coleman reminds listeners, then pivots to the present: "We can either fight that battle on unholy ground, or we can fight it on holy ground." He connects foot-washing in the New Testament to the same principle — washing off the dust and influence of the marketplace before entering a place of refuge and fellowship. Coleman also warns against two specific forms of ungodly influence: misusing God's name by claiming divine authority for personal agendas and the social pressure to conform or be canceled. The episode closes with a powerful prayer and a challenge to let the washing of the Word remove the world's barnacles. . Find more from Mike Coleman at www.realliferealtalk.com
Faith28mWhen Apathy and Passivity Collide
Pastor Scott Ethridge of The Healing Place Church in Shreveport, Louisiana joins Philip Cameron for a raw, unscripted conversation about one of the most overlooked spiritual dangers facing the American church today: passivity and apathy. Drawing from a 21-day breakthrough series rooted in Micah 2, Scott unpacks how comfort and complacency quietly erode a congregation's spiritual edge — and how breaking free from passivity is the essential first step toward genuine breakthrough. "Practical becomes supernatural when done in the name of Jesus," Scott declares, capturing the heart of the episode. He explains that a cup of cold water is just a cup of cold water — until it's offered in Jesus' name, at which point it carries eternal value. This framework dismantles the lie that ordinary believers must wait for perfect conditions, perfect finances, or perfect courage before stepping out in faith. Scott also shares how The Healing Place responded to a challenge to give sacrificially, growing from a few hundred dollars in monthly change collections to over $80,000 in a single year — proof that a small, activated church can carry a global footprint far beyond its Sunday attendance.
