Holy Spirit29mPowered for Purpose: Joel Arwood on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
Pastor Joel Arwood of Purpose Church in Sevierville, Tennessee, joins Philip Cameron to unpack one of the most misunderstood gifts in the Christian life — the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from his book "Powered for Purpose," Joel shares how a childhood visit to a small Pentecostal storefront church in Gatlinburg ignited a lifelong hunger for the fullness of God's Spirit. Joel walks through the scriptural foundation for Spirit baptism as a distinct experience from salvation, anchoring his teaching in Acts 2:38-39 — where Peter declares the promise of the Holy Spirit is "for you, your children, and to all that are afar off" — and Acts 19, where Paul asks the Ephesian disciples, "Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?" As Joel explains, "This is not a Pentecostal doctrine. This is a Bible doctrine." He also shares a remarkable story of praying with a woman named Esther in a hospital chapel, who received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues on the spot. Joel closes with a direct invitation for viewers to ask God for this gift right now. To get a free copy of "Powered for Purpose," visit joelarwood.com.

Power29mDefeating Darkness: Spiritual Warfare, Faith Authority, and Victory Through Jesus Christ
Chad MacDonald, founder of Revival Fire World Ministries, joins Philip Cameron to unpack the biblical principles behind spiritual warfare — and why so many Christians are losing battles they were never meant to lose. Drawing from his new book "Defeating Darkness: A Handbook for Spiritual Warfare and Overcoming Demonic Schemes," Chad explains how a Western atheistic worldview has left the church ill-equipped to recognize and resist demonic activity. "Scripture encourages us and really implores us to not be ignorant of Satan's devices," he warns, pointing to Ephesians 6 and the reality that believers "wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers." Chad shares firsthand accounts from international miracle crusades across Africa and restricted Islamic nations — including a crusade in Uganda where 60,000 people gathered and more than 2,000 surrendered their lives to Christ. He addresses the authority every believer carries, citing Luke 10:19 — "I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy" — and reminds listeners that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. "Defeating Darkness" is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and online retailers including Charisma Shop. Learn more about Chad's ministry and upcoming crusades at revivalfirewm.com.
Pastors35mFrom Double-Wide Beginnings to Global Impact: God is Faithful to the Finish
Bishop Jamie Barfield, founding pastor of Palmetto Point Church in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, joins Philip Cameron for a timely conversation on pastoral faithfulness, the book of Joel, and the church's call to stand firm in the last days. What began as a church plant with eight people inside a double-wide trailer has grown — through 18 years of faithfulness — into a multi-campus congregation of over 2,000, ranked by Outreach Magazine as one of the hundred fastest-growing churches in America. Drawing from Joel 2 and Joel 3, Bishop Barfield unpacks God's promise to restore what the locust has eaten and to pour out His Spirit on all flesh — a word aimed squarely at discouraged pastors. "Go back to why you started this to begin with," he urges. "If you forget your why, then you'll start getting discouraged." He connects Joel's prophecy directly to Acts 2 and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, calling the local church to be "a fountain of truth and hope" flowing into the streets. The conversation also addresses the accelerating signs of the times — digital ID systems, cultural decay, and a rising hunger among young people for authentic faith — and why now is the moment for the church to advance, not retreat.

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.
Holy Spirit34mCarrying the Flame: Bishop Tim Hill on Revival, Purpose, and the Power of the Word
Bishop Tim Hill, Tennessee Overseer of the Church of God and former General Overseer of the global Church of God, joins Philip Cameron to unpack the vision behind his new book, Advancing Beyond Limits. Drawing from Acts 3, where Peter and John heal a lame man at the Gate Beautiful, Bishop Hill reveals four transformative words that define a Spirit-empowered life: labels, limitations, lift, and leap. "Silver and gold have I none," Bishop Hill reminds us — but Peter didn't stop there. He explains that the Holy Spirit enables believers to "see beyond natural sight, give beyond human resource, and touch beyond reach." The lame man's story, he argues, is a blueprint for every pastor and believer living beneath their God-given potential. When Peter lifted the man "by the right hand," he addressed not symptoms but foundational brokenness — a word Bishop Hill applies directly to churches struggling with unresolved foundational issues today. Bishop Hill also speaks to the paralyzing power of labels, sharing a memorable illustration about a pillow tag and the liberating truth that every redeemed believer carries a new name in Christ. Whether you're a pastor needing fresh vision or a believer ready to leap into purpose, this conversation is your moment.

Restore34mA Life of Worship: Jeff Ferguson on Music, Ministry, and the Power of a Song
Jeff Ferguson — evangelist, musician, and founder of The Vow Ministries in DeLand, Florida — joins Philip Cameron for a powerful conversation about the resurrection of God-given callings and the irrevocable nature of spiritual gifts. Drawing on 2 Timothy 1 and Paul's charge to "stir up the gift within you," Jeff delivers a timely word for anyone who believes their season of ministry has passed. Jeff leads nine ministries out of a historic 100-year-old building in downtown DeLand, including Tabitha's Ministry — a widows' outreach modeled on the New Testament disciple Dorcas — which features Tabitha's Table (monthly worship services at Calvary Orlando), Tabitha's Tea Party (twice-yearly celebration dinners), and Tabitha's Toolbox, a no-charge handyman and home-repair service for women in need. He also cares for approximately 350 seniors across Central Florida through The Vow. The heart of this episode is Jeff's declaration that "the gifts and callings of God are without repentance" — meaning they are irrevocable, and God will not change His mind about your assignment. Whether you've failed, aged out, or simply gone quiet, Jeff insists God is uncovering those wells again. He shares a remarkable story of cleaning church toilets during an eight-week revival that broke out after he was unexpectedly asked to preach. Discover more at jeffferguson.com.
Strongholds36mFueled by Faith: Pastor Derek Draughon on Living with Purpose and Power
Derek Draughon, host of FuelCast TV, joins Philip Cameron to deliver a razor-sharp, Scripture-grounded message on the most overlooked battlefield in the Christian life: the thought life. Drawing from Proverbs 23:7 — "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he" — Derek unpacks why toxic thinking is the root cause of toxic living, and why most believers never address it at the source. Derek lays out three practical, Word-based steps to break the cycle of destructive thoughts. Starting with 2 Corinthians 10:5, he challenges listeners to "arrest every thought" the moment it enters the mind — just as a police officer detains a suspect before knowing all the facts. "Put it in handcuffs," he says, "and ask: is this from God? Does this align with the plan of God for my life?" From there, he walks through Romans 12:2's call to renew the mind, explaining that transformation begins when we consistently filter what we allow to take root. Philip adds the timeless wisdom his father passed down: "You can't stop the devil from flying around your head, but you can certainly stop him from building a nest." The episode closes with Derek praying a bold, specific prayer of deliverance over anyone trapped in anxiety, fear, and swirling dark thoughts. For more from Derek, visit fuelcast.tv.
Holy Spirit28mFresh Oil: Cultivating Intimacy with the Holy Spirit with Pastor Chris Garcia
Pastor Chris Garcia of House of Glory Church in Fort Smith, Arkansas joins Philip Cameron to unpack what it truly means to cultivate intimacy with the Holy Spirit — and why the presence of God is the only thing that can transform a life, a church, and a generation. Drawing from his new book Fresh Oil: Secrets to Intimacy with the Holy Spirit, Chris traces his journey back to age 12, when he first encountered the tangible presence of God in a Spirit-filled church and heard an inner voice say, "Lift your hands. Just surrender." That moment of yielding, he explains, unleashed "a river of liquid love" that has defined his walk with Christ ever since. Chris and Philip explore how the Western church has become cluttered with programming and 32-second increments, leaving little room for the Holy Spirit to move. Anchoring the conversation in John 15, Chris emphasizes that abiding in Christ — clinging to the vine — is the source of all fruitfulness, faith, and revelation. "Everything you need is found in him," he says. He closes with a challenge to cultivate the secret place, citing Psalm 91 and the example of Peter, whose very shadow healed the sick because he dwelled under the shadow of the Almighty.

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.
Devotion34mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Thomas McDaniels
Thomas McDaniels, founder of Thomas McDaniels Ministries in Longview, Texas, joins Philip Cameron for a rich conversation on what it truly means to encounter Jesus in the ordinary rhythms of daily life. Drawing from Acts 9, McDaniels unpacks the rooftop vision of the Apostle Peter — a moment born not from fasting or spiritual heroics, but from simple, hungry obedience. "The Spirit will lead us into simple devotion that brings profound encounters," McDaniels observes, revealing how Peter's willingness to pray while waiting for dinner became one of the most pivotal moments in all of Scripture — the divine declaration that opened the gospel to the Gentiles. The conversation moves through a gallery of biblical defining moments: Moses at the burning bush, David facing Goliath, the woman at the well in Samaria, and the disciples casting nets on the other side of the boat. Each encounter, McDaniels argues, was rooted in ordinary obedience before the supernatural broke through. Philip adds a vivid real-life illustration — a woman who found a Bible in a remote lighthouse, read it cover to cover with no church background, and came to saving faith entirely alone. McDaniels challenges both charismatics and evangelicals to stop dismissing experience and recognize that every major biblical calling came through a personal encounter with God.

Faith36mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Rusty Railey
Pastor Rusty Railey of Victory City Church in Joliet, Illinois, joins Daily Faith to deliver a faith-building conversation on how the spiritual atmospheres we cultivate either foster or frustrate the miraculous. Drawing on a striking illustration from nature, Rusty explains that just as an orchid requires a precise environment to bloom, believers must intentionally protect the climate of their hearts and homes to position themselves for God to move. At the core of the discussion is a distinction that could reshape how you pray: "Belief is different than believing." Rusty unpacks how past wounds, unanswered prayers, and a fear-saturated media culture can scar our belief system — but how actively declaring what God says can overrun those scars. He points to Mark 6:5, where Jesus "could do no mighty works" because of unbelief, sandwiched between two of His greatest miracles, as proof that atmosphere is everything. Rusty also teaches that "the atmosphere of expectancy is the breeding ground for miracles," that "your voice is your address in the spirit realm," and that the opposite of faith is not fear — it's sight.

Identity33mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Jeff Ferguson
Songwriter, minister, and creative visionary Jeff Ferguson joins Philip Cameron for a rich conversation about the power of authentic faith and the freedom that comes from embracing who God made you to be. Drawing on decades of ministry experience, Jeff shares how a pivotal moment in a recording studio in the 1990s taught him to trust his God-given instincts — a lesson he has carried into every area of his life and calling ever since. Jeff unpacks Revelation 12:11 — overcoming "by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony" — reminding viewers that personal testimony doesn't just set the speaker free; it unlocks breakthrough for countless others. He recounts a profound prayer walk at Nancy Dre's Holy Ghost Winter Camp Meeting in Southern California, where he sensed a rare invitation from God and asked for four specific gifts: wisdom, long life in good health, favor, and a soul-winning anointing. The conversation also spotlights Jeff's creative ministries, including Tabitha's Toolbox (a no-charge handyman service for widows), Tabitha's Table, Tabitha's Tea Party, and Voices of Wisdom (VOW), a ministry championing believers 50 and over. Tune in daily at noon on Jeff's Facebook page or visit jeffferguson.com to catch his popular "12 Minutes at 12" broadcast. This episode is a timely encouragement for anyone who has ever doubted whether who they are is enough for the kingdom of God.
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.

Power35mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Katie Souza
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.
Holy Spirit37mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Thomas McDaniels
Pastor Thomas McDaniels joins Philip Cameron for a candid, Spirit-filled conversation about what happens when the Church stops making room for the Holy Spirit — and what it looks like when she starts again. McDaniels, who pastored for 40 years before transitioning his Longview, Texas ministry into a movement that equips and gathers pastors, describes the citywide meetings he now hosts where spiritual gifts are identified before the service even begins: "Who in here has tongue and interpretation as a gift?" That simple question, he explains, restores the order Paul describes in Scripture while unleashing the supernatural. The two leaders diagnose a quiet crisis in modern Christianity: that evangelical and charismatic churches alike have become so professionalized that the Holy Spirit has effectively been planned out of the service. "We've learned to factor him out," McDaniels says plainly. Drawing on 1 John 5 — "the anointing teaches us all things" — he challenges pastors to trust the anointing over the order of service, to stop mentally skipping ahead to the next agenda item, and to give God the center. McDaniels also shares a remarkable story of a bishop who left his bed at 10 p.m., walked into one of these gatherings, and was publicly touched and transformed by the Holy Spirit. If you are a pastor or church leader hungry to see genuine spiritual power restored, connect with Thomas McDaniels at thomasmcdaniels.com or find him on Facebook.
Faith28mHow to Leverage the Word of God for Your Good
Dr. Jerry Grillo, pastor and author, joins Philip Cameron for a conversation that reframes how believers engage the Word of God — not as a comfort text, but as a lever capable of lifting what no natural effort can move. Drawing on the physics of a fulcrum and lever, Dr. Grillo explains that "leverage is when you have a minimal amount of pull with a maximum amount of lift" — and that the Word of God functions as exactly that lever in the life of a kingdom-minded believer. The discussion moves through kingdom theology versus religious attendance, the distinction between "hosting" the kingdom and merely attending a church service, and the meaning of "due season" in Galatians 6:9. Dr. Grillo unpacks the Greek and Hebrew roots of the word "due," revealing it carries the idea of perpetuity — something already belonging to you, waiting to be released. He also draws on Deuteronomy 29:29 to distinguish revelation from knowledge, arguing that "revelation is divine permission" and that ancient truth made new is what unlocks breakthrough. Dr. Grillo is the author of multiple books including Pray for Rain, Live Big Dream Big Be Big, and Survive to Thrive, all available on Amazon. To connect with his ministry, visit jerrygrillocom.
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.
Strongholds28mUnveiling Pornography's Demonic Curse
Neil Kennedy, founder of Five Star Man and author of Defeating Ishtar, joins Philip Cameron for a raw and revelatory conversation about pornography's spiritual origins — and why willpower alone will never break its hold. Kennedy draws on ancient Mesopotamian history to identify Ishtar, the goddess of porn, as a very real demonic principality operating in the modern church. "Porn is sex with demons," Kennedy states plainly, tracing the spirit's lineage from the Babylonian goddess Inanna through her biblical name Ashtaroth, and connecting her tactics directly to the doctrine of Balaam warned against in Revelation 2 and Numbers 25. Kennedy explains that Proverbs warns the spirit of adultery hunts wounded men — yet considers strong men her trophies. He unpacks how Ishtar's ancient temple worship, conducted through gala priests (men dressed as women), mirrors disturbing patterns visible in today's culture. The conversation turns urgent as Kennedy notes that children as young as eight are now regularly exposed to pornography, and that Ishtar's agenda is explicit: to turn masculinity into femininity and reduce men to what Proverbs calls "a piece of bread." This episode is essential viewing for pastors, men's ministry leaders, and anyone seeking genuine freedom from pornography addiction. Deliverance — not discipline — is the answer.

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." Access Jason's full four-hour revival training course free at jasonmayfield.com/free. Don't miss this urgent, faith-stirring conversation.
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.
Pastors28mJourney of Renewed Faith through Adversity
Pastor Barry Carpenter of Resurrection Church in Daphne, Alabama, joins Philip Cameron for a candid conversation about one of the most painful and transformative seasons a pastor can face — disaffiliating from a lifelong denominational home. After decades in the Methodist tradition, Barry navigated a costly departure that required him to "pay a ransom," as he describes it, to leave — yet he emerged with a deeper encounter with the Holy Spirit than he had ever known. Barry shares the concept he now calls "the Jesus life" — a call back to the essentials of following Christ beyond any denominational label. Drawing on Thomas à Kempis's fourteenth-century classic The Imitation of Christ, he challenges believers to ask not "Lord, bless what I'm doing" but to seek God's thoughts first. He reflects on the story of John resting on Jesus' breast at the Last Supper, saying, "When you're on the Heart of Jesus, no one will accuse you of being the one that's going to betray him." Philip prophesies over Barry that God will use him as a bridge to lead others into liberty. If you are in the Daphne, Alabama area, visit Resurrection Church at www.resurrectioncc.com. This episode is a lifeline for any pastor or believer standing firm through a dark night of the soul.
Holy Spirit28mJeff Leake on Holy Spirit Baptism, Church Power, and Supernatural Partnership
Pastor Jeff Leake of Allison Park Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, joins Philip Cameron for a compelling conversation about the Holy Spirit baptism and why the church desperately needs it today. Jeff, who has pastored Allison Park Church for 31 years and has directly planted 32 churches since 1996, draws on decades of Spirit-led ministry to explain why so many Christians are living far below their potential. Citing a George Barna organization study revealing that over 60% of self-identified Christians in the United States don't believe the Holy Spirit is even a person, Jeff makes the case that doctrinal confusion about the Spirit is at the root of the church's diminished cultural influence. He unpacks the critical distinction between salvation and Spirit baptism using John chapter 20 and Acts chapter 1: "When you get saved, you get the Holy Spirit — when you get baptized in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit gets you." He also shares how his son David witnessed cataracts miraculously disappear after praying for a man in Nicaragua, a moment that transformed David's faith from obligation to passion. Jeff's book, Gateway to Supernatural Life, is available at shoptheword.com.
