Overcoming trials.
Daily Faith TV doesn't skip the hard part. 24+ episodes are anchored in the seasons God uses but no one volunteers for: silence, suffering, spiritual warfare, the long wait. Dr. Jerry Grillo's endurance teaching, Autumn Miles on being holy-ghosted through unanswered prayer, Chad MacDonald on defeating darkness through faith authority, Dr. Don Allen's marked-by-water testimony of leaving Egypt, and James Coffey on stop-settling at Ziklag — each conversation names a specific kind of trial and the way scripture met it. Guests speak from the other side: the marriage that almost ended, the diagnosis that came back clean, the church split that produced a bigger work. If you're walking through something now and need real-time teaching on Christian endurance, breakthrough, or spiritual warfare, this is the collection.
Faith33mEndurance Over Everything: Why Continuing in Faith Unlocks God’s Greater Purpose
Dr. Jerry Grillo, Bishop and pastor of Church 180 in Hickory, North Carolina, joins Philip Cameron to deliver a word that will challenge every believer who is tempted to walk away from what God has called them to do. The conversation centers on a single, powerful truth: endurance is the kingdom qualifier for becoming everything God has destined you to be. Jerry opens with his own raw story — entering Southeastern University on academic probation with a 1.9 GPA and an eighth-grade reading level, failing two semesters in a row, and being counseled by the dean to simply quit. In that moment of desperation, the Holy Spirit spoke clearly: "I didn't bring you here to see if you could pass homiletics and hermeneutics. I brought you here to see if you would quit." That third semester, Jerry made the national dean's list. The battle was never about the test — it was about the continuing. Drawing on Genesis 26 and Isaac's journey through famine to his Rehoboth season, Jerry unpacks how covenant breakthrough demands perseverance through resistance. He introduces the concept of "ANTs — automatic negative thinking" and the bold-prayer principle: "The prayer of faith is not telling God how big your problem is. It's telling your problem how big your God is." For booking or ministry resources, visit drjerrygrillo.com.
Trust29mHoly Ghosted: Trusting God Through Silence, Suffering, and Seasons of Unanswered Prayer
Autumn Miles — teacher, preacher, author, and founder of Autumn Miles Ministry — joins Philip Cameron to unpack her powerful new book, "Holy Ghosted," a deep dive into what it means to trust God when He seems completely silent. Drawing from her own harrowing experience watching her teenage son nearly die multiple times from severe asthma and a spreading skin infection, Autumn shares the raw moment her son asked her, "Why is God not healing me?" — a question that mirrored her own desperate prayers. The conversation centers on the Book of Job, which Autumn calls a book the enemy keeps believers away from precisely because it is "so pregnant with wisdom." She walks through how God says nothing for 38 chapters while Job suffers, and why that silence is not abandonment but invitation — calling Job to a new revelation of God. As Job himself declares, "I've heard of you by the hearing of the ears, but now my eye sees you." Autumn and Philip explore the distinction between faith and trust, concluding that trust is mature faith — the fruit grown only in seasons of unanswered prayer. If you or someone you love is in a Job season right now, "Holy Ghosted" is the resource you need. Find it anywhere books are sold and explore more at autumnmiles.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.
Overcoming trials28mMarked by Water: Leaving Egypt and Living Under God’s Shadow
Dr. Don Allen — pastor of Church at War Hill, Chairman of Victory Radio, and founder of RLN Global — joins Philip Cameron to unpack the powerful biblical concept behind his breakout book, Marked by the Water. Drawing from the life of Moses, Don explains that every person carries a recurring issue that will surface again and again: "We all have an issue that we are gonna face over and over again — and one of two things is gonna happen. We're either going to advance or we're gonna regress." The conversation moves into Don's second book, Under the Shadow, built around the Latin word interregnum — the season between two kingdoms. Whether it's the Israelites leaving Egypt or a young woman stepping out of bondage into freedom, Don argues that every God-ordained transition happens "under the shadow," covered by the Holy Spirit's power. He traces this pattern through six interregnums in Scripture, culminating in the angel's word to Mary: "You will be overshadowed." Both books are available at donallen.org and warhill.com. Don also leads RLN Global, a businessmen-funded organization that validates and verifies mission works worldwide. If you're ready to stop drifting back toward Egypt and start advancing into your promised land, this episode is essential listening.
Faith28mStop Settling for Less: Moving from Ziklag to God’s Promised Expansion
Pastor James Coffey of The Harbor Church in Laleah, Tennessee joins Philip Cameron to unpack the powerful message behind his new book, Stop Settling for Less — and the remarkable revival story that inspired it. At the close of 2024, Coffey received three words from God: pursue, advance, expand — a divine mandate he unpacked as "pursue my presence, advance my kingdom, and I will expand your borders." What followed was months of intense opposition, building challenges, and municipal battles that tested the church's resolve before a scheduled summer revival changed everything. Drawing on the story of David at Ziklag (1 Samuel 30), Coffey explains how discouragement can cause believers to settle far short of their God-ordained inheritance. "Ziklag may be a place for a season, but it's not a place to settle," he says — and the fruit proved it. In the 15 weeks following their revival, The Harbor saw 174 people commit their hearts to Christ, baptized 53 in a single service, and broke their 11-year attendance record three Sundays in a row after launching a second morning service. Stop Settling for Less is available now on Amazon. If you or someone you love is pressing through a Ziklag season, this episode — and this book — will reignite your pursuit of God's best.
Bitterness28mBreaking the Cycle of Bitterness: Choosing Healing, Legacy, and Freedom in Christ
Bishop Paul Zink, founder of a premier Jacksonville church and the acclaimed Providence School, joins Philip Cameron for a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of spiritual and emotional freedom. Together they unpack why bitterness, regret, and unforgiveness act as parasites on the soul — and why breaking free is not passive but a deliberate, daily choice. Bishop Zink opens with a striking declaration: "Depressed and fearful people never create a positive outcome." From there, the conversation moves through the power of thought life as prophecy, the danger of picking at old wounds, and the liberating truth that "legacy is more powerful than DNA." Philip illustrates bitterness with a vivid nature analogy — wildebeest on the Serengeti Plains, circling helplessly after a brain parasite robs them of direction — while hyenas and lions wait at the edges. It is a picture of what unresolved bitterness does to a believer's forward momentum. Drawing on the call of Philippians to forget what lies behind and press toward the high calling, both men urge viewers to choose forgiveness, release regret, and refuse to let past wounds define their future. If you are stuck in a cycle of bitterness or fear, this episode offers a practical, faith-filled path to healing and freedom in Christ.
Faith34mFueled by Faith: Derek Draughon’s Journey from the Skies to Spirit-Led Living
Derek Draughon, pastor and founder of Fuel Cast TV, joins Philip Cameron to unpack one of the Old Testament's most electrifying stories — the Gideon moment — and what it means for believers who feel like they're just getting by. Drawing from Judges 6:11, Derek paints a vivid picture of Gideon hiding in a winepress, threshing wheat to survive while surrounded by Midianite oppression. "You're hiding in a winepress," Derek says, "and you're just getting by — but you are in the place of abundance if you're in the kingdom of God." Derek argues that God always moves toward His people first, pointing to John 4 and the woman at the well as evidence that the Holy Spirit seeks us out even in our lowest seasons. The conversation turns to the power of sacrifice — how Gideon's single act of offering unlocked divine provision and military victory — and how "half obedience is still disobedience." Derek shares his own four-month season without income and how it deepened his revelation that God is the true source of every need. Practical and prophetic, this episode challenges listeners to stop settling for survival, write the vision down (Habakkuk 2:2), and step into full obedience. Find more from Derek at Fuel Cast TV.
Overcoming trials34mBreaking Barriers: Pastor Jerry Grillo on Living in Kingdom Authority
Dr. Jerry Grillo, pastor of Church 180 in Hickory, North Carolina, joins Philip Cameron for a revelation-packed conversation on why the disruptions, interruptions, and crises in your life may not be the enemy's attack at all — they may be God's divine mechanism to activate everything He has already placed inside you. Drawing from John 5 and the Pool of Bethesda, Dr. Grillo unpacks a powerful pattern: God sent an angel to trouble the waters, and whoever discerned what God was doing in the disruption received healing for whatever need they carried. "The miracle is still in the cup," Grillo declares. "God didn't put anything new in the water in the stirring — He activated what He had already placed there." Using a vivid coffee illustration shared with then-armor-bearer Travis Green, he shows how adding more resources to an already-prepared cup only ruins the mixture — what's needed is a stirring, not a supplement. The conversation also explores John 4 and the woman at the well, revealing how Jesus disrupted her normal routine to give her living water — and how she left her water pots behind the moment the eternal became more important than the ordinary. Dr. Grillo challenges believers to "lean into chaos," subdue their struggle with the authority God has given, and trust that confinement reveals what is truly inside them.

Faith34mFaith Under Fire: Pastor Phil Hutchings on Bold Christianity in Canada
Pastor Phil Hutchings of Higher Life Church in Quispamsis, New Brunswick, Canada joins Philip Cameron for a gripping conversation about what it truly costs to stand for bold Christianity in the face of government opposition. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Phil refused to close his church doors — and paid for it with a stint in solitary confinement, shackled in ankle chains for seven days. "It wasn't about bravado," he explains. "I just realized if there's one time for the church to be open, it would be during this craziness." Rather than silencing his congregation, the arrest became a catalyst. A Satanist who stumbled upon their outdoor worship service — thinking it was a freedom rally — got saved, filled with the Holy Ghost, and is now preaching the gospel. Phil unpacks the spiritual lesson behind the story of the twelve spies in Numbers 13–14, showing how ten spies spoke in agreement with the problem rather than the Promise, and how God gave them exactly what they declared. His book, *A Mouthful of Miracles*, equips believers to stop speaking defeat and start speaking victory. Phil also shares his vision to plant seven new churches — one for every day he spent in jail — as a declaration that persecution only propels the Kingdom forward.

Missions35mA Voice for Revival: Evangelist Daryl Petree on the Power of the Gospel
Dr. Daryl Petree, national evangelist and missionary with nearly 37 years of ministry experience across roughly 60 countries, joins Philip Cameron to share a remarkable story of suffering, resilience, and a fresh call to the mission field. After enduring a 14-year season of devastating loss — including the death of a son, the loss of his home and all his possessions, a near-fatal collapse while ministering in Germany, and a violent bandit attack in Ecuador — Daryl refused to let hardship silence his voice. At the heart of this conversation is a Macedonian call that has drawn Daryl and his wife to the Davao region of the Philippines, where they have already fed nearly 700 children in a single outreach. "Do not allow these circumstances to silence your voice," the Holy Spirit spoke to Daryl during a powerful early-morning encounter just days before this interview — a word he says arrived at the moment he was closest to giving up. Daryl shares his vision to establish both a Christian school and a ministry training center in the Philippines, offering college-level training to pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and worship leaders. He draws a striking parallel between Daniel in the lions' den and believers today who feel insignificant amid global religious noise. If you are pressing through a difficult season and wondering whether your voice matters, this episode is for you. Learn more and support the work at darylpetrieministries.org.
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.
Faith28mKeep On Keeping On: Dr. Mark Rutland on Joyful Aging, Purpose, and Global Mission
Dr. Mark Rutland, author of his 20th book Keep On Keeping On, joins Philip Cameron for a candid, humor-filled conversation about finishing well, aging with joy, and trusting an unchanging God through every season of life. Dr. Rutland — founder of Global Servants, which operates Houses of Grace for at-risk girls in northern Thailand and West Africa — brings decades of pastoral wisdom and a refreshingly lighthearted perspective to the challenges of growing older in ministry. At the heart of the discussion is a simple but powerful truth: "We are changing. God is not." Dr. Rutland argues that walking with an unchanging God through the changes of life is what makes aging redemptive and even adventurous. He and Philip explore how a genuine sense of humor — not just knowing what's funny, but knowing what's funny about yourself — keeps believers winsome, joyful, and effective well into their senior years. Dr. Rutland also shares the story behind Global Servants' Houses of Grace, which proactively rescue girls from trafficking vulnerability in Thailand and Ghana, with graduates now serving as house mothers, attorneys, and doctors.

Don't quit — your best days in God may still be ahead.
Faith28mDr. Don Allen’s Healing Testimony: Faith, Miracles & Victory
Dr. Don Allen, senior pastor of The Church at War Hill in North Georgia, joins Philip Cameron to share a raw and remarkable healing testimony that will ignite faith in anyone facing a life-threatening diagnosis. Leading a ministry that spans six campuses, a radio station broadcasting to 218 countries, a global missions-verification network called RL and Global, and a Bible college, Dr. Allen had been preaching eight to ten times a week for over three decades — until his doctors told him to go home and plan his funeral. Dr. Allen recounts going blind in the pulpit on New Year's Eve while preaching the gospel, followed by a rapid physical decline that left him ineligible for a transplant. Rather than retreat, he declared, "I'm going to go preaching then — what's it gonna do, kill me?" He began speaking Psalm 118:17 over his failing body — "You shall live and not die, and proclaim the works of the Lord" — and within months his numbers reversed so dramatically that his specialist said, "I have never seen this in my medical career." This episode is a direct word for anyone the enemy has told is finished. Dr. Allen challenges viewers to stop planning their demise and start walking in their God-given assignment.

Faith28mDerek Draughon: Faith, Provision & God’s Miracle Power
Pastor Derek Draughon joins Philip Cameron for a faith-building conversation centered on God's miraculous provision and what it means to trust Jesus in seasons of testing. Drawing from the feeding of the 5,000, Derek unpacks three things every believer must recognize in a moment of trial — beginning with the truth that "Jesus always provides, if we'll be obedient and walking His ways." Derek introduces what he calls "the mechanics of a miracle" — the biblical pattern where God performs the divine multiplication while we supply the obedient, mechanical step. From the boy's loaves and fishes to the command "Rise, take up your bed and walk," every miracle in Scripture requires human participation. He challenges viewers not to consume what God has placed in their hands for a greater purpose: "Some meals in your life are not meant to be eaten — that meal was created for miracles." The conversation also addresses the current cultural moment in America, encouraging believers not to coast on recent wins but to use this season as a divine window for forward movement. Whether you're a pastor, a business owner, or someone in a personal valley, this episode delivers a clear, scripture-grounded call to step out in faith. Watch Derek Draughon at fuelcast.tv.
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.
Hope34mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Author Kenza Haddock
Counselor and author Kenza Haddock joins Philip Cameron to address one of the most overlooked struggles of the Christmas season — holiday loneliness and depression. Kenza, founder of Oceanic Counseling in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, opens up about her own remarkable journey from an Islamic household to faith in Jesus Christ, sharing how a vivid dream at age 23 — in which she saw Jesus descending from heaven in a white robe — led her to a peace "that made no sense" after a lifetime of anxiety. The cost was profound: leaving her mother, father, siblings, and everything she had ever known. Drawing from her book Three Enemies of Your Mental Health, Kenza identifies the devil, the flesh, and the world as the root forces behind anxiety, depression, and mood instability. She explains how self-accusation becomes "a huge recipe for depression," warning that believers can become "the devil's mouthpiece to ourselves." Her prescription: feast on Scripture, study God's names and character, and — like David in the Psalms — strengthen yourself in the Lord even when you cannot feel His presence. If you or someone you love is struggling this holiday season, this conversation is essential viewing.

Faith34mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Gary Brothers
Pastor Gary Brothers of Discovery Life Church in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, joins Daily Faith to deliver a timely, faith-building message on what to do when life catches you off guard. Drawing from the story of Daniel in the lion's den (Daniel 6:16), Gary unpacks three powerful principles for overcoming life's unexpected blows: maintaining a personal relationship with God, staying faithful to what you're called to do, and holding firm to the belief that God will deliver you. "Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you," Gary quotes — words spoken not by a prophet or priest, but by the pagan King Darius himself. Gary points out that this heathen king demonstrated more faith in that moment than many believers do today. He also draws on the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery to illustrate how staying calm and refusing to react in panic is itself a form of spiritual warfare. Gary Brothers pastors Discovery Life Church, which has recently launched two new campuses, and reminds viewers that faithfulness — not talent or education — is the ultimate superpower. If you're facing a sudden setback today, this episode will anchor your faith. Visit dlclife.com to connect with Discovery Life Church.
Hope37mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Dave Allman
Pastor Dave Allman of New Life Church in Poland, Ohio joins Daily Faith to deliver a timely, Scripture-rooted message on navigating life's most painful seasons with unshakeable faith. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3 — "for everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven" — Dave unpacks why seasons of struggle are not signs of God's absence but of His active, transforming work in our lives. Dave shares his own story with raw honesty: 26 years ago, while serving as a youth pastor in Albany, Georgia at the height of a thriving ministry, his wife Liz was diagnosed with advancing breast cancer and given only a 50/50 chance to survive. Years later, a second winter arrived when a church plant failed to grow as expected, leaving him feeling, in his own words, "trapped… abandoned… and so close to just throwing in the towel on ministry." Out of those crucibles came three defining questions every believer can ask in a hard season: How can this season direct me? How can this season correct me? And how can this season perfect me? Dave also opens up about overcoming performance-based acceptance — the belief that God's approval is tied to visible success — and how he discovered that "who I am is much more important than what I do." If you are in a winter season today, this conversation is for you. Learn more about New Life Church at newlifepoland.com.
Overcoming trials34mDaily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Jennifer LeClaire
Jennifer LeClaire joins Philip Cameron to share her remarkable story of abandonment, false arrest, and divine vindication — a testimony that will speak directly to anyone facing injustice, betrayal, or an impossible situation. When her husband disappeared to Central America and never returned, Jennifer was left alone with a young daughter and a warrant for her arrest. Seeking help, she found herself essentially held captive by Colombian drug lords before ultimately facing criminal charges that could have sent her to prison for ten years. It was in that crucible that she encountered Jesus Christ. "I was pricked to the heart by the gospel," Jennifer explains, "by the reality that he died on a cross — he did nothing wrong, and he suffered the consequences." After surrendering her life to Christ, God restored her finances, her career, and her calling. She went on to become the first female editor in Charisma Magazine's 40-year history and now leads Awakening Prayer Hubs, a prayer movement active in over 100 nations. Her new book, Vindicated, releases October 1st and lays out a practical, Scripture-grounded blueprint for receiving God's justice.

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.

Revival28mTransformative Power of Love, Healing, and Hope
Glenn Davis, lead pastor of Countryside Christian Church in Clearwater, Florida, joins Philip Cameron to share the remarkable story of a mass baptism service that drew over 500 people to Clearwater Beach — with more than 200 baptized in a single night. It was, as Glenn describes it, "like a revival meeting on Clearwater Beach," a culmination of years of faithful, persistent ministry. Glenn opens up about the explosive growth of his Wednesday night youth ministry, where between 300 and 500 teenagers gather weekly and 20 to 40 young people give their lives to Christ every single service. He explains why Gen Z is responding: "They want an authentic move of God. They're not looking for some big show. They are looking to get in the presence of God." The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Glenn recounts the painful journey behind his book Ordinary Guy Extraordinary God — available on Amazon — including his brother's unexpected death from an accidental overdose in 2014, a two-year battle with depression and anxiety, and a massive seizure in 2016 that God used to restore his joy and calling. Glenn also shares how Countryside Christian Church leaned into daily worship and the Word during COVID, emerging stronger than before. Visit countryside.cc to connect with Glenn and his church.
Faith28mPerseverance: The Path to Spiritual Growth
Pastor Teresa Pritchard of Fayetteville Community Church in Fayetteville, North Carolina, joins Philip Cameron to unpack one of the most misunderstood commands in Scripture — and why Christians should "throw a party" when trials arrive. Drawing from James 1:2–4, Teresa explains that the phrase "consider it all joy" carries a deeper meaning in the original Greek: a deliberate, active choice to celebrate in the middle of wave-upon-wave hardship. "These trials are not gonna hit you without producing something that you need," she says. "God will see to that." Teresa leads a discipleship group called Tracks, designed specifically for believers in their twenties and thirties — an age group she identifies as under-equipped for hardship because they've grown up in a "cotton wool world." Her core message: perseverance is not passive endurance but a muscle God intentionally builds so we can carry the glory He has prepared for us. The test, she reminds us, is always part of the testimony. The conversation closes with a prayer drawn from James 1:5 — asking God for the wisdom to walk through trials — and a challenge to every viewer to put on "spirit glasses" and respond to difficulty with faith rather than fear.

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.
