Daily Faith with Philip Cameron (Video)

Abby Trivett, editor at Charisma Magazine and author of The Power of Suddenly, joins Philip Cameron to unpack one of the most overlooked patterns in all of scripture — the word "suddenly" and its direct connection to divine miracles. Abby shares how a deep, yearlong immersion in scripture in 2024 led to a light-bulb moment: the word "suddenly" appears throughout the Bible and is consistently tied to God's miraculous intervention. "It is all over scripture," she says, "and it is connected to miracles."
Drawing on biblical accounts including the woman with the issue of blood (who touched the hem of Jesus's garment after exhausting every other option) and Abraham and Sarah's decades-long wait for the promised child, Abby explains why God's timetable rarely matches ours — and why that gap is itself part of the miracle. She challenges the skepticism of modern Western culture that dismisses the supernatural, pointing out that nowhere in scripture does God say He stopped doing miracles.
Abby also addresses what to do in the "valley of no suddenlies" — the painful middle ground between prayer and breakthrough. Her answer: stay in faith, take negative thoughts captive, choose to be led by the Spirit, and "just try Him one more time." The Power of Suddenly is available now on Amazon.

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.
Purpose Church is located on Oak Street in Sevierville, Tennessee; their website is purposechurchpf.com.

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.

Dr. Charles W. Weir, senior pastor of Gateway Church in Franklin, Tennessee, joins Philip Cameron to unpack the transformative message behind his book "Hope in Empty Places" — a 12-week sermon series that became a life-changing study of how God inhabits every space we assume He has abandoned. Dr. Weir planted Gateway Church 20 years ago at age 42, starting with three trailers in an elementary school gymnasium, and watched God provide an 11-acre property that now sits alongside Ramsey Solutions, K-Love, and In-N-Out Burger's headquarters.
At the heart of the conversation is a bold theological claim: "Empty is an illusion — because God came first." Drawing from Genesis 1, Dr. Weir explains that there was no empty before God, meaning any situation that feels void is already filled with His presence. He reframes biblical hope not as a wish or emotion, but as a person — Jesus Christ — arguing, "If hope is a person, I can share it."
The episode closes with a moving reflection on the Parable of the Prodigal Son, where Dr. Weir reminds viewers that the father never ran his ranch without watching for his son — and that repentance and restoration begin the moment you simply stand up and turn around.

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.

Evangelist, pastor, and corporate pilot Derek Draughon joins Philip Cameron for a raw, honest conversation about navigating life's most disorienting seasons of transition. Drawing from 2 Kings 2, Derek unpacks the moment Elisha picked up Elijah's fallen cloak — and why that single act of commitment is a picture of every believer who refuses to go back to the plow. "When you slaughter the oxen and burn the plows," Derek says, "then you hang on until God opens the next door."
Derek shares openly about his own year-long transition — resigning his pastorate, stepping into evangelism, and pursuing his calling as a corporate pilot — and the spiritual discipline of clinging to the promises of God when the path ahead is invisible. He anchors the conversation in Romans 11:29, reminding viewers that "God's gifts and His calls are irrevocable," and that calling extends far beyond the pulpit to welders, nurses, soldiers, and pilots alike. Two spontaneous hangar-side prayers illustrate the point powerfully.
Whether you are between seasons, facing fear, or tempted to return to what is familiar, this episode delivers a timely word: eliminate distractions, run the race marked out for you (Hebrews 12), and trust that God is cheering you on. Learn more about Derek's men's ministry show at FuelCastTV.com.

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.

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.
