How many sermons have you heard in your life? I've listened to countless sermons and preached hundreds of them myself. As the Senior Pastor of Compassion Church in Morristown, TN, each week I passionately share God's Word because Jesus is returning and I want to guide others in building a relationship with Him and discovering their purpose.
But what happens after Sunday? Many questions arise in our daily lives that need even more biblical insight beyond the pulpit. Join me as I explore these important topics and have some healthy discussions to help you on your journey with The Lord.
In today’s episode, Travis Mills opens up about the journey behind his brand-new book, The Way of Escape. With honesty and passion, he shares the Scripture that shaped the entire message—1 Corinthians 10:13—and unpacks what it really means for believers facing temptation, pressure, and spiritual battles every single day.
You’ll hear the story of how this message was born, why it matters so deeply to Travis, and how discovering “the way out before the fall” has changed his own walk with God. This episode feels like sitting down with a pastor and friend who genuinely wants to help you find freedom, clarity, and victory.
Travis also explains how the book can strengthen your faith, give you practical tools for overcoming temptation, and help you grow in everyday holiness—without shame, fear, or condemnation.

Spirit of Fear | S2E5
What the Bible Really Says About Fear
📖 Scripture Focus: 2 Timothy 1:7
Description:
This week, as the world puts fear on display, Pastor Travis Mills takes a deeper look at what real fear is—and what it’s not. In this powerful episode of Beyond the Pulpit, Travis unpacks 2 Timothy 1:7 and reveals how the spirit of fear is not from God, but a tactic of the enemy to silence your faith and steal your peace.
You’ll discover:
• The difference between natural fear, spiritual fear, and the fear of the Lord
• How to recognize fear’s grip in everyday life and fight back with God’s truth
• What it means to walk in power, love, and a sound mind—even when the world feels dark
If you’ve ever battled anxiety, worry, or the fear of the unknown, this message will remind you that fear has no place in the life of a believer. God hasn’t given you a spirit of fear—but the power to live boldly, love deeply, and think clearly through the Holy Spirit.
👊 Listen now and reclaim your peace in the presence of the One who conquers all fear.
