Prophecy29mBook of Revelation Decoded: Bible Prophecy and Today's Headlines
James Lasher, staff writer and editor at Charisma Magazine, joins Philip Cameron to unpack his new book, "The Revelation of Jesus: A Common Man's Commentary," designed to make the most misunderstood book of the Bible accessible to every believer. Lasher, a Marine Corps veteran turned Christian media journalist, shares how God called him to write the book during a season of personal wilderness, spending long evenings alone in a hotel room while separated from his family and consuming eight to twelve hours of daily news through a biblical lens. The conversation connects today's most urgent headlines — the October 7th Hamas terror attack, the surge of antisemitism, Turkish forces in Syria, Hezbollah, Iran's existential threat to Israel, the rise of AI, and the push for digital currencies and global governance — directly to the pages of Revelation. Lasher explains that "it is a book about Jesus Christ and his coming back," not merely an end-times timeline, and that the Book of Revelation itself promises a blessing to every reader. He urges believers to replace fear with anticipation, grounded in 2 Timothy 1:7 and the victorious return of King Jesus. Pick up "The Revelation of Jesus" at mycharisma.com or amazon.com.
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.
Faith29mLegacy of Faith: Honoring Generations and Family Ministry
Pastor David Farina of Calvary Full Gospel Church in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania joins Philip Cameron for a deeply personal conversation about the power of generational faith and what it truly means to build a lasting ministry legacy. David, who served alongside his father for all 50 years of his pastoral ministry, shares how honoring the generation before you becomes the foundation for everything that follows: "Honor is the currency of heaven." David opens up about the moment he received the phone call that his father had gone home to be with the Lord — and how, on the very next day, he heard a word in his spirit: "You're going home to acceleration." That acceleration has defined the last two and a half years at Calvary, now in the process of being renamed Victory Christian Church, a bold step of faith reflecting the church's movement from the cross of Calvary to the victory it represents. Philip and David also challenge the American cultural tendency to cut children off from family ministry at 18, making the case that multi-generational ministry — from David's Italian immigrant grandparents through his own nine grandchildren — is not nepotism but faithfulness. If you are a pastor raising your children in the work of the Lord, this episode is for you. Learn more about Calvary Full Gospel Church at calvaryfullgospelchurch.org.
Faith29mUnembarrassed of Jesus: Travis Johnson on Bold Faith in a Compromising Culture
Travis Johnson, senior pastor of Pathway Church in Mobile, Alabama, joins Philip Cameron to discuss his new book Unembarrassed of Jesus: Follow from a Distance, Lose Your Faith — Follow Closely, and Change the World. Drawing on 25 years of pastoral ministry, Travis makes a compelling case that a passive, moderate Christian faith in 2025 will not survive — but bold, unashamed faith will change the world. Travis unpacks the danger of following Jesus "from a distance," using Peter's denial as a biblical anchor and a vivid personal story about following the wrong truck on I-65 to illustrate how easily distraction leads believers astray. "Discernment is not knowing the difference between what is good and what is not good," he explains. "It's knowing the difference between what is good and what is almost good." He also recounts the moment his family was doxed and received death threats after he prayed publicly during Pride Month at Mobile's city hall — and how refusing to apologize led to Pathway Church's largest attendance and baptism numbers ever. Travis challenges every believer to recognize that the circle God has placed them in is their mission field: "The cavalry is not coming. You are the cavalry."

Faith28mWhen the Enemy Plots, God Plans: Speaking Life and Staying on Purpose
Dr. Jerry Grillo joins Philip Cameron for a powerful conversation built around one of the most clarifying distinctions in spiritual warfare: the difference between God's plan and the enemy's plot. Drawing from Nehemiah 6, Jeremiah 29:11, and Psalms 33:11, Dr. Grillo unpacks how hell never acts — it only reacts. "When God's advancing, hell is reacting," he declares, reminding believers that every plot against their home, ministry, or marriage is simply evidence that God's plan is already in motion. Dr. Grillo traces the power of spoken faith back to creation itself, arguing that language was God's original gift to humanity — and that what we rehearse in our minds will eventually materialize in our lives. He draws a sharp contrast between the church's obsession with platform performance and the transformative power of the secret place, warning that "the platform creates a plot; it's the secret place where you find the plan." From Daniel in the lion's den to Shadrach in the furnace, Dr. Grillo anchors the message in Scripture: God's plan was settled before time began, and hell cannot unsay what God has already spoken. If you're a pastor or believer navigating confusion, division, or spiritual attack, this episode will reorient you to the unshakeable plan of God.

Missions28mWhen Mission Becomes Family: Passing the Baton and Generational Calling
Pastor Scott Ethridge of The Healing Place Church in Shreveport, Louisiana joins Philip Cameron for a conversation about generational calling, the language of the Kingdom, and what happens when a church catches a true mission vision. Scott shares how sending a diverse team — ranging in age from 12 to 72 — transformed individuals in ways no Sunday service could. "Orphans Hands is not just about what you're pouring into them," Scott explains, "but what's being poured back into you." Drawing on the parable of the Good Samaritan and the relay-race imagery of passing the baton, Scott unpacks why finishing well requires intentionally releasing the next generation. He points to King Hezekiah's cautionary example — a man who ran well but didn't finish well because he never passed the baton forward. Scott also reflects on the distinct "language of the Kingdom," noting that the world uses words like compassion but means something entirely different than followers of Christ do. Whether you're a pastor weighing your church's next mission step or a believer asking what legacy looks like, this episode delivers a clear, story-driven challenge: run your lane, pass the baton, and trust God with the next generation.
Prophecy34mStanding 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.
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.
Anchor35mBuilding Fortress Friendships for Perilous Times—Earl Glisson on Covenant Loyalty
Pastor Earl Glisson of Anchor Faith Church in St. Augustine, Florida joins Philip Cameron to unpack the life-changing message behind his new book, Fortress Friend — a deep dive into what it truly means to build covenant-level relationships in an age of social-media superficiality. Glisson argues that most people today have acquaintances masquerading as friends: "Their relationships with others is pretty surface," he observes, noting that even church community has thinned as digital convenience replaces personal presence. Drawing on the David and Jonathan narrative and Proverbs 18:24 — "there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother" — Glisson traces how genuine fortress friendships are defined not by good times but by sacrificial loyalty. He highlights how David's covenant with Jonathan extended beyond Jonathan's death, protecting Jonathan's son Mephibosheth even when political pressure demanded otherwise. That multigenerational faithfulness, Glisson contends, is the true test of a fortress friend. The conversation turns practical for pastors and ministry leaders navigating succession, with Glisson drawing on his own experience at Rhema Bible Training College and the Hagin family's four-generation legacy. Fortress Friend is available now at anchorfaith.com. If you long for relationships that hold when storms hit, this episode is essential listening.
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. Find Derek's ministry at youtube.com/at fuelcast or visit fuelcasttv.com.
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.
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. Find 3 Circle Church online to connect with Chris Bell and his team.
Restore28mScott and Christy Sawyer: Punching Back After Clinical Death and Brain Damage
Scott and Christy Sawyer join Philip Cameron to share one of the most extraordinary resurrection stories in modern ministry — how Scott survived more than 20 minutes of clinical death at a family gathering, and how God miraculously restored him from catastrophic brain damage. Christy describes the moment her husband "turned purple and foaming" before her eyes, and the agonizing weeks that followed as doctors warned her to "prepare because he's never gonna be able to be normal again." Scott lost everything — his memory, his ability to drive, his knowledge of Scripture, even the ability to recognize his own wife — reverting, as Christy explains, to an "embryonic stage" of brain function with no activity in the frontal lobe. Drawing on Psalm 51:12 — "God will restore unto you the joy of your salvation" — Philip and the Sawyers unpack how joy can be lost and supernaturally reclaimed. Scott and Christy have documented this journey in their new book Punch Back, available at wearescottandchristy.com, which Philip calls "a Rhema lifeline" for anyone walking through a dark night of the soul. This episode is a powerful testimony of faith, resilience, and the miracle-working power of Jesus Christ for anyone who feels their dream has died and there is no way back.
Faith34mLiving on Purpose: Pastor David Camp on Faith, Community, and Calling
Pastor David Camp of West Cobb Church in Marietta, Georgia joins Philip Cameron to share one of the most gripping redemption stories you'll hear — a testimony of faith through loss that refuses to stay buried under tragedy. In 2022, just three months after accepting the call to pastor West Cobb Church, David's wife of 32 years, Angela, died suddenly in a drowning accident at their home. At the same moment, the software company he co-leads in the real estate and mortgage industry lost 75% of its customer base as the market collapsed. Wave after wave of loss — personal, financial, and pastoral — crashed against him simultaneously. Yet David chose to yield. "The God that I knew or thought I knew is far greater than the God I know today," he says. Rather than collapse, he led a grieving congregation through its own season of chaos, and God brought a widow named Beverly into his life. Their blended family — including David's daughters, who were fully on board — became a living picture of redemption. West Cobb Church grew from 180 to nearly 450 weekly attendees between June 2022 and April 2025. If you are walking through compounding loss right now, this conversation is for you. David's story proves that God enlarges us in our distress — and that the storm you're facing will not drown you. Visit West Cobb Church if you're in the Marietta, Georgia area.
Faith34mDon’t Let Doubt Take You Out: Pastor Todd Mullins on Standing Strong in Faith
Pastor Todd Mullins, senior pastor of Christ Fellowship Church in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida — one of America's top-10 churches — joins Philip Cameron to unpack the message behind his powerful new book, "Don't Let Doubt Take You Out." Todd opens up about his own unexpected struggle with doubt, sharing that even as someone gifted with faith, he found himself paralyzed by self-doubt when stepping into the senior pastor role his parents had built. Drawing on three key areas where doubt attacks believers — self-doubt, relational doubt, and doubt in the supernatural — Todd delivers a message that is both raw and redemptive. He recounts preaching with John Maxwell and Reinhard Bonnke in the front row, and hearing the Holy Spirit say, "You're right, you're not enough — but I am." He also shares the deeply personal journey of raising his son Jefferson through an autism diagnosis, infertility, and a season of crisis, declaring the word of God over his family until breakthrough came. "Listen to what you know, not to what you fear," became a turning point. "Don't Let Doubt Take You Out" is available at mycharismashop.com and on Amazon. If doubt has been silencing your calling, this conversation is for you.
Overcoming trials28mWally Long: Finding Hope & Healing Through Faith & Trials
Pastor and author Wally Long joins Philip Cameron to share one of the most harrowing stories of compounded family tragedy you will ever hear — and how his unshakeable faith carried him through it all. In the span of just eleven months, Wally lost his youngest sister to suicide, nearly lost his 18-year-old son in a devastating motorcycle accident, and then buried his mother. Before he could fully recover, a 12-year-old nephew killed Wally's brother and sister-in-law, critically wounding two younger children in the same attack. "The only thing I had was my faith," Wally says. "That's all I could cling to." Rather than collapse under the weight of unimaginable grief, Wally and his wife adopted two of the surviving children — their seventh and eighth — and leaned into a simple, daily discipline: "Just do the next thing." That posture of one-step-at-a-time obedience, rooted in the peace that "passes understanding," became the foundation of his healing journey and ultimately the sermon series that grew into his book, Why Me, Lord. Wally also recounts the moment — just five days after the murders — when God compelled him to visit his imprisoned 12-year-old nephew, and how choosing forgiveness over bitterness became the turning point for his entire family's restoration. He later appeared on the Piers Morgan show to share his faith publicly in the middle of the crisis. If you or someone you love is walking through a dark valley, this conversation is essential viewing. Learn more and get the book at wallylong.com.
Politics28mProphetic Insights on Trump, Faith, and America’s Future with Troy Anderson
Bestselling author and journalist Troy Anderson joins Philip Cameron to unpack the stunning prophetic connections explored in his book The Trump Code — and what they reveal about God's sovereign hand over America. Anderson, founder of the Inspire Literary Group and president of Battle Ready Ministries, draws on years of research to show how a series of 1890s fictional novels by Ingersoll Lockwood — featuring a boy named "Baron Trump" living in a castle on Fifth Avenue — eerily foreshadow the Trump family of today, right down to the location of Trump Tower. Anderson recounts his landmark 2013 interview with Billy Graham, who drew a parallel between America and the city of Nineveh, saying he believed national repentance could turn the tide again. That conviction led to the historic Return: National and Global Day of Prayer and Repentance on the National Mall in September 2020, drawing a quarter million attendees and 42 million viewers. "I believe God has a great plan, not just for President Trump, but for America and for the whole world," Anderson says. From the bullet that clipped Trump's ear in Pennsylvania to the possibility of an Oval Office address calling the nation to repentance, this conversation is a must-watch for anyone seeking a faith-grounded perspective on current events.

Prophecy28mPastor James Coffey: Seeking God’s Vision & Restoring Faith
Pastor James Coffey, lead pastor of The Harbor Church in Lafayette, Tennessee, joins Philip Cameron in the studio to unpack the prophetic word God gave him for the new year — and it carries a message for every believer who feels like they've lost ground. Drawing from 1 Samuel 30, James traces David's devastating moment at Ziklag — a name that literally means "the place of being pressed down" — and shows how David's story mirrors the spiritual condition of many families, churches, and ministries today. James reveals that God gave him three words heading into the new year: pursue, advance, and expand. "If you will pursue my presence and advance my kingdom, I will expand your borders," the Holy Spirit told him. He unpacks how David had been fighting battles he was never called to fight, settling in a place of suppression, until the Amalekites — whose name means "vision of doubt" and "the severed eye" — stole everything. Yet when David inquired of the Lord, God didn't just answer yes or no. He gave a promise: "Pursue — you shall surely overtake them, and without fail, recover all." This episode is a timely prophetic word for anyone who has experienced loss, distraction, or a severed vision. Learn more about The Harbor Church at theharbortennesee.org.
Restore35mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Jeff Schadt
Family counselor and Revive Family executive director Jeff Schadt joins Philip Cameron to unpack the real — and often invisible — forces driving children's defiance, rebellion, and spiritual drift. After interviewing more than 3,000 kids firsthand, Schadt discovered that most parents are misreading the signals their children send. "We've been taught to focus on the green part of the weed, the bad behavior," he explains, "but when you cut off the top of a weed, the root system doubles in size." His book What's Really Causing My Kids' Bad Behavior identifies five key factors beneath the surface, including unconscious thoughts and emotions — 95% of which children (and adults) are completely unaware of — stored trauma held in the amygdala, and post-COVID fight-or-flight dysregulation that mimics ADD/ADHD. Schadt and Philip explore how adolescents actually learn better through independence than control, why teens still deeply want closeness with their parents even when they appear distant, and how unaddressed stored trauma can silently hijack family relationships for decades. Parents, pastors, and counselors will find practical next steps at onerulehome.com, where Schadt's book and a free 70-page Child Concern Index report are currently available at no cost.

Strongholds34mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Author John Ramirez
Dr. John Ramirez — former third-highest-ranked devil worshiper in New York City and now author and evangelist — joins Philip Cameron to pull back the curtain on how Satan strategically attacks believers, families, and churches. Drawing from his new book Exposing the Devil's Playbook, Ramirez shares how he was recruited into satanism at age seven and a half, participated in a demonic Halloween wedding, and operated within a network stretching from the Bronx to Haiti, Cuba, and Miami before his dramatic conversion to Christ. Ramirez explains that the devil's playbook is about "showing you the footsteps of the devil on your spiritual hallway" — targeting your identity, marriage, ministry, and destiny. He unpacks how Halloween functions as a genuine spiritual gateway, why the church dangerously underestimates spiritual warfare, and how Satan attacked Jesus' identity immediately after His baptism by planting doubt with the words "if you are the Son of God." Using the example of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps training blind — with holes drilled in his goggles — Ramirez illustrates how God builds believers' faith to swim in the dark. To get Exposing the Devil's Playbook, visit johnramirez.org or mycharismashop.com. You can also reach John Ramirez Ministries at PO Box 286372, New York, NY 10128.
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.
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.
Faith36mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Mark Carnes
Pastor Mark Carnes of He's Alive Church in Kannapolis, North Carolina joins Philip Cameron to unpack the transformative message behind his new book, The Miracle of the Mundane: Falling in Love with Living. Mark opens by sharing his church's mission — "bringing life to dead places" — a vision that encompasses both reaching the lost and reigniting the faith of believers who have lost the joy of abundant Christian living rooted in John 10:10. At the heart of the conversation is Mark's compelling insight that most of life is not lived on the mountaintop or in the gutter, but in the valley — and it is precisely there that the richest fruit grows. He shares a disarmingly simple yet profound story about wiping crumbs from the dinner table after a family meal, explaining how that single mundane act became a daily reminder of God's faithfulness: a full pantry, family fellowship, and running water on demand. "The happy place is not a geographical location," Mark says. "It's a person, and his name is Jesus." Philip and Mark also explore biblical parallels — the disciples fishing all night and catching nothing, and Moses tending sheep in the desert — as moments when the miraculous broke into the utterly ordinary. Listeners are challenged to reframe every routine moment as a potential encounter with God. Pick up The Miracle of the Mundane on Amazon or visit markcarnes.com, and connect with He's Alive Church at hesalivechurch.org.
Hope37mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Gary Taylor
Pastor and author Gary Taylor joins Philip Cameron to unpack the message of his book Press On Regardless: Pursuing Wholeness after Brokenness — a raw, personal account of finding healing and renewed purpose after devastating loss. Gary shares how a painful divorce at age 54 left him feeling like "everything was over," and how a couple in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, who poured into him night after night with the words "God's not through with you," became the catalyst for a long but genuine recovery. Drawing on Luke 4 and Isaiah 61, Gary explains that emotional healing was a core part of Christ's earthly assignment — "He sent me to heal the broken hearted" — and points to Psalm 147:3 and Romans 15:13 as anchors for anyone whose hope has run dry. He also shares the moment the Holy Spirit quietly told him, "Your calling is still there. What has happened to you has not destroyed your calling." Writing the book itself, he says, became the final chapter of his own healing. Whether you are navigating a broken marriage, a ministry setback, or a season of despair, this conversation offers a scripturally grounded, story-driven case that recovery is real and it is not too late.

Katie Souza, founder of Expected End Ministries and author of the forthcoming book The Serpent and the Soul, joins Philip Cameron for a revelatory conversation on demonic serpents, spiritual authority, and miraculous healing. Drawing on over a decade of revelation, Katie explains how demonic powers manifest in the form of serpents — attached to bodies, finances, marriages, and ministries — and why the Church has largely missed this biblical reality. "The serpents have camouflage technology," she explains, pointing to Genesis 3 and the Apostle Paul's encounter with a viper on the island of Malta as proof that these spirits hide in plain sight until driven out by the fire of God. Katie unpacks the Greek word "airo" from Mark 16's Great Commission, showing that Jesus commanded believers to remove demonic serpents from every place they've attached. She connects Luke 10:19, Genesis 3:15, and the spirit of python in Acts 16 to build a line-upon-line scriptural case. The episode includes a powerful testimony of a woman whose metal plate from a 2004 car accident disappeared after prayer, and accounts of tumors dissolving as serpent spirits were cast out. Katie also shares how her miracle ministry was born inside prison walls through Expected End Ministries, which reaches approximately 3,000 prisons worldwide. For more, visit katiesouza.com.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fulfillment27mDiscovering Your Purpose: Finding Your Why
Pastor Rusty Nelson of The Rock Family Worship Center in Huntsville, Alabama joins Philip Cameron for a soul-stirring conversation about discovering your God-given purpose — what Rusty calls "finding your why." Drawing from 1 Peter 4, Rusty unpacks how the Apostle Peter, once sifted and shaken by the enemy, ultimately anchored his life not in survival strategies or earthly security, but in a singular focus: glorifying God. "When you find your why," Rusty declares, "you will always find your way." Rusty traces his own journey from worship leader and pastor at New Life Church in Jacksonville, Florida — under Pastor Paul Zink — to planting and growing The Rock Family Worship Center in Huntsville. He reflects on a divine airport encounter that ignited his passion for global missions and how that moment of clarity realigned everything. He also shares how a serious car accident and temporary memory loss became a turning point that drove him back to the core question of why God placed him where He did. Whether you're a pastor going through the motions or a believer whose life feels off-center, this episode offers a powerful framework: when Jesus is your center, every wobble finds its way back to purpose. Tune in and let this conversation help you find your why.
Faith29mGary Brothers on Three Life Principles That Build an Abundant Faith
Pastor Gary Brothers, senior pastor of a thriving church in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, sits down with Philip Cameron to share three transformative life principles he preaches every single year — principles so foundational that multiple pastors across the country have adopted them as their own annual sermon series. Drawing from Philippians 4:8 and John 10:10, Gary unpacks a practical framework for living the abundant life Jesus promised: accent the good, punctuate the excellent, and dismiss the bad. "You will gravitate toward your most dominant thought," Gary explains, warning that a Chicken Little mindset — fixating on every falling acorn as a crisis — hands the enemy a strategy to derail your faith, your marriage, and your calling. He illustrates the power of reframing with a vivid real-world scenario: losing your job can either become a sky-is-falling moment or a declaration that "you're an upscale God — you always trade up." The second principle, punctuating the excellent, calls believers to build the habit of drawing special attention to what is right — in their spouse, their church, their pastor, and their own walk with God. The third, dismissing the bad, leans on Philippians 3:13-14 and Paul's own example of pressing forward despite a past filled with regret.
