Leadership.

Scott Ethridge on mission becoming family and the generational baton-pass. Johnny Moore on growing where you're planted. Greg Huguley on waiting on God's timing through small-town revival. The host, Philip Cameron, brings 40+ years of his own leadership experience as founder of Orphan's Hands and Vatra Village in Moldova — so these are peer conversations, not packaged advice. You'll hear about hiring, family ministry, succession, money decisions, and the disciplines that distinguish a leader who finishes well. If you're searching for Christian leadership teaching grounded in scripture and real ministry results, every guest here has the receipts.
Faith29mEmpowering Faith: Yes, You Can with Pastor Benny Tate
Pastor Benny Tate, senior pastor of Rock Springs Church in Milner, Georgia for over 36 years, joins Philip Cameron to unpack the bold, scripture-grounded message behind his new book, Yes You Can. Benny opens with a stunning testimony: his wife Barbara was told by the Mayo Clinic she would have eight to ten seizures a day for the rest of her life — yet after Benny surrendered his doubts to God, she has not had a single seizure in over three decades. "What can you do that I can't do?" God asked him — and that question became the foundation of his ministry. Drawing on Ephesians 3:20 and the story of David being overlooked by Jesse, Benny challenges every believer to stop underestimating what God wants to do through ordinary people. "When everybody else saw a shepherd boy, God saw a king," he says. He speaks directly to the 1,700 pastors walking away from ministry every month, urging them to keep pouring — like the widow's oil in 2 Kings 4 — because the supply never runs dry as long as you keep going. Yes You Can is available at mycharismashop.com and on Amazon. Learn more about Pastor Benny Tate and upcoming free leadership resources for pastors at rockspringsonline.com/bennytate.
Freedom29mOrphans to Missionaries and Leaders to Freedom: A Life-Changing Kingdom Blueprint
Matt and Sarah Keller, lead pastors of Next Level Church in Fort Myers, Florida, join Philip Cameron to share the story behind their groundbreaking freedom curriculum — and it begins in a hospital room. After years of striving to build their church through sheer performance, Matt suffered a serious back injury that led to surgery, a spinal fluid leak, and 12 days of darkness in a hospital bed. It was there that Sarah began to ask the questions that would eventually change thousands of lives: "I think I'm not okay." That honest confession launched a years-long journey of Holy Spirit-led healing — confronting childhood wounds, fear, forgiveness, and the lies of the enemy — that became the foundation for Next Level Freedom, a 12-week small group discipleship curriculum now used in over 100 churches across multiple nations. The curriculum guides participants through identity, hurt, fear, and strongholds before culminating in a live "freedom experience" in weeks nine and ten, rooted in Luke 4 and Jesus' promise to "set the captives free." Weeks eleven and twelve then equip believers to walk out their freedom in everyday life. Whether you lead a church, serve on staff, or are simply walking with Jesus, this episode delivers a practical, Spirit-filled roadmap for lasting transformation. Visit nextlevelfreedom.com or nextlevelchurch.com to explore the Leaders Guide, Participants Guide, and the Next Level Relational Network of nearly 200 churches.
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.
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.
Pastors40mWaiting on God’s Timing: Lessons from a Small-Town Pastor’s Big Revival
Pastor Greg Huguley of Forward Church in Amory, Mississippi, joins Philip Cameron to share hard-won wisdom on calling, patience, and building a thriving local church in a small town. Greg is the author of Dear Young Preacher, a practical guide for ministers navigating the early years of ministry, and his insights are as timely as ever. At the heart of the conversation is the danger of "birthing an Ishmael" — launching a ministry in the flesh before God's timing is right. Greg shares candidly: "You'll have opportunities to birth a ministry in the flesh, or you can wait on the promise." He recounts how closed doors at one church eventually led him to the right congregation in the same town, where Forward Church has now thrived for 14 years with around 600 regular attendees — remarkable for a community of just 6,500 people. Greg and Philip also dig into the importance of building the right staff team, avoiding the comparison trap, and knowing your place under spiritual authority. Dear Young Preacher is available now on Amazon. Learn more about Forward Church at forwardchurchms.com. If you know a young minister, this episode — and Greg's book — is a gift worth passing on.
Faith29mDestiny Decisions – Pastor David Smith on Living Your Purpose
Bishop David Smith, pastor of Oak Park Church in Mobile, Alabama, joins Daily Faith to unpack the life-changing message behind his new book, Destiny Decisions — and why a single choice, made in obedience to God, can redirect the entire course of a life. Drawing on Deuteronomy 30:19 — "the Lord has laid before us life and death; choose life" — David shows how ordinary, often obscure biblical figures made decisions that echoed through history. From Shamgar, who stood alone in his field with an ox goad and slew 600 Philistines, to Elisha burning his plows and slaughtering his oxen to go all in with Elijah, to David quietly tending sheep after his anointing — each story illustrates that "one choice can change everything." David also reflects on the Apostle Paul's Damascus Road encounter and Moses' burning-bush moment, weaving in raw personal stories, including visiting his own brother behind bars and telling him, "The only difference between you and I is Jesus." Destiny Decisions releases September 7th. Order now at destinydecisions.info or find resources at pastordavidsmith.tv. Oak Park Church is at opcmobile.org. This episode is essential listening for anyone standing at a crossroads.
Church35mBuilding Eternal Strongholds – Pastor Craig Walker’s Kingdom Vision
Pastor Craig Walker of Upward Church in Pensacola, Florida joins Philip Cameron for a conversation that reframes everything most Christians think they know about the church. Walker, whose ministry has reached over 5 million people for Christ across 22 nations in Africa over the last decade, argues that the Western church has drifted from its primary calling. "We've become settlers instead of pilgrims," he says — trading the Great Commission for comfort, self-help sermons, and a faith focused entirely on this life. Drawing on Genesis 1:28, Psalm 110, Mark 16, and Ephesians 4, Walker unpacks what he calls the "mystery church" — a divine blueprint in which Christ, seated at the Father's right hand, extends His scepter of rule and reign through His people on earth. The conversation challenges believers to adopt an eternal perspective, invest in souls rather than retirement accounts, and recognize that the church is not a building or a coping mechanism but a strategic stronghold advancing the kingdom of God. Walker's book Mystery Church is available now on Amazon. Learn more about his global mission work through Upward Church at upwardchurch.com. This episode is essential viewing for pastors, church leaders, and anyone hungry for a kingdom-minded faith.
Prophetic36mBuilding Faith & Future – How Bishop Paul Zink Turned Prophetic Vision into Kingdom Legacy
Bishop Paul Zink, apostolic leader of New Life Christian Fellowship in Jacksonville, Florida, joins Philip Cameron for a powerful conversation about how God-given prophetic vision becomes lasting kingdom legacy — even when doubt, fear, and the "paralysis of analysis" threaten to stop it cold. Bishop Zink opens by sharing a conviction the Lord impressed on him that morning: "Your thoughts identify the spirits that are trying to control your life." Drawing on Proverbs 23:7 — "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he" — he unpacks why believers must actively judge, reject, and accept thoughts rather than passively absorb them, especially in an era of rising youth violence and suicide. The conversation turns to the founding of Providence School (prov.org) on Hodges Boulevard in Jacksonville — an 1,800-student K–12 institution that began with a spontaneous prophetic utterance in a Sunday service and grew into an $11 million campus built from nothing. Bishop Zink recounts the moment a retired art teacher, facing heart and brain surgery, discovered that her doctor was a former Providence student she had taught — a living parable of sowing seeds into the future. If you are wrestling with a God-given vision, this episode is your call to press through the twilight season and trust the harvest ahead.
Faith35mOpen the Door of Your Mind: Bishop Paul Zink on Kingdom Faith
Bishop Paul Zink, apostolic leader of New Life Christian Fellowship in Jacksonville, Florida, joins Philip Cameron for a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of why believers fall short of their God-given destiny. The core diagnosis? "Most closed doors with God exist in the mind of the people he's trying to speak to." Drawing on John 10:10, Bishop Zink unpacks how the enemy's primary strategy is to steal kingdom thoughts before they can take root — and why the church too often defaults to fear instead of faith. The discussion moves from the story of the twelve spies in the Promised Land to Moses at the burning bush, illustrating how divine moments go unrecognized when our thinking is too small. Bishop Zink — who built Providence School in Jacksonville from nothing into an 1,800-student, $30-million debt-free campus — speaks from hard-won experience about overcoming naysayers, land battles, and every natural obstacle. "Faith requires you to trust and act without understanding," he declares, challenging pastors and leaders to stop managing church business and start leading kingdom business. The episode closes with a powerful call for ministers to intentionally create atmospheres of faith where the Holy Spirit is welcome to move. If you are a pastor, church leader, or believer wrestling with a vision that feels too big, this conversation will stretch your thinking and ignite your faith.
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.

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.
Faith33mLegacy of Faith: Bishop Paul Zink on Building the Church and the Next Generation
Bishop Paul Zink, founder of New Life Christian Fellowship in Jacksonville, Florida and the acclaimed Providence School, joins Philip Cameron for a timely and faith-stirring conversation about living as citizens of a kingdom that transcends earthly turmoil. As global markets shake and cultural anxiety rises, Bishop Zink anchors the discussion in Jesus' own words from John 18:36 — "My kingdom is not of this world" — reminding believers that Wall Street is not the main street of God's economy and that our invisible means of support are more real than anything the natural eye can see. The conversation moves from kingdom economics to the power of revelation-driven faith. Bishop Zink draws a sharp distinction between reasonable thinking and faith by revelation: "Once we get something revealed, that's when we sink our teeth into it and give everything we've got to it." Philip shares a defining personal moment at age 18 when his father challenged him to sell his brand-new car to fund Scotland's first Spirit-filled Bible school — a moment that unlocked a lifetime of generational giving and vision. Together they explore multi-generational ministry, the danger of excuse-making, and Moses' pivotal decision at the burning bush as a model for stepping from one world into God's. If you are looking for courage to trust God beyond what you can see, this episode delivers it.
Church34mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Craig Walker
Craig Walker, lead pastor of Upward Church in Pensacola, Florida, joins Daily Faith to share a remarkable encounter with Jesus on an airplane returning from Africa — and the divine download that followed. During a two-hour-and-46-minute experience in the presence of Christ, Walker received a clear mandate: the global church must return to God's blueprint for building the New Testament church, not the corporate-American model that has drifted from its core mission. Walker draws on Ephesians 4, Psalm 110, and Revelation 4–5 to reveal what he calls the divine pattern for the church — fivefold ministry gifts serving as the foundation, not the pinnacle, of church structure. "If you're a fivefold minister, you're at the bottom," he explains. "This is the foundation that the church is built upon." He warns that the American church has insulated itself from its primary calling: evangelism and disciple-making. Overseeing more than 16,000 churches across 22 African nations, Walker's ministry has seen over 3.25 million people come to Christ in six years — discipling each new believer for an average of just 83 cents.

Faith36mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Andrew Davis
Bishop Paul Zink, apostolic overseer of New Life Christian Fellowship in Jacksonville, Florida, joins Philip Cameron for a wide-ranging conversation on what it truly means to live by conviction rather than convenience. Drawing on decades of pastoral ministry and his role as founder of Providence School — a $23 million, debt-free campus now serving 1,800 students from preschool through high school — Bishop Zink delivers a clarion call to the modern church: "We live by conviction, not convenience." Bishop Zink unpacks why so many believers have settled for a spectator faith, watching from the sidelines while the harvest goes unreached. He challenges the skepticism creeping into congregations today, reminding listeners that "faith is not reasonable — if it's reasonable, it doesn't take faith." The conversation turns to multi-generational ministry, faithful legacy, and the surprising story of a Zulu Nation king who came to Christ simply because Bishop Zink's church kept the light on. Whether you're a pastor, a parent, or a believer wrestling with the cost of commitment, this episode will stir you to deeper devotion.

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.
Pastors36mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Ben Kaempfer
Pastor Ben Kaempfer of Downtown Community Church in Tallahassee, Florida joins Philip Cameron for a wide-ranging conversation about what it looks like to live out kingdom values in both the church and the marketplace. Ben leads a congregation of roughly a thousand people that grew organically by serving the poor and marginalized — including a season where he spent time living homeless on the streets of Tallahassee to better understand the people he felt called to reach. "We served the marginalized and we attracted the young," Ben reflects, describing how Downtown Community Church became a hub for action-oriented faith. The conversation turns to Ben's entrepreneurial life as co-owner of Register Meats, a smoked pork sausage company now stocked in approximately a thousand grocery stores — including Publix, Walmart, and Sam's Club — across the Southeast. Ben explains that the company's growth is intentional: profits fuel social entrepreneurship projects such as coding academies designed to empower underserved communities. Ben also shares a powerful pastoral encouragement: "Don't underestimate how much God is honored by your struggle." He uses the analogy of a child making an imperfect Father's Day breakfast to illustrate how God values sincere effort over flawless performance.

Pastors28mEffective Succession in Ministry: 7 Keys from Pastor Dennis Gingerich
Pastor Dennis Gingerich joins Philip Cameron to share the hard-won wisdom behind one of the most remarkable pastoral succession stories in modern American church life. Gingerich founded Cape Coral's Destiny Church in 1987 and, at just 55 years old, made the courageous decision to hand the lead role to a 32-year-old successor — the same age Gingerich himself was when he planted the church. What followed was not decline but explosive growth: from 1,000 weekend attenders to more than 4,000 regularly, with a single weekend recently drawing 7,000 across seven services. Gingerich traces the journey back to reading Bob Buford's book "Halftime" at age 48, which prompted him to ask a new question: "What does the church look like five years after I'm out of the lead seat?" That reframe became the foundation of his seven keys to intentional legacy leaving, including the conviction that "maximizing your impact means you have to minimize your own ego," a principle he anchors in Philippians 2:5-8. He also draws on Jim Collins and John Maxwell's five levels of leadership, and closes with a phrase that captures his philosophy: "My fruit tastes better on the trees of others." Whether you are a founding pastor, a board member, or a church leader thinking about the next generation, this conversation will challenge and equip you.
