Join Pastor Lucas Miles as he delivers a timely message addressing the growing cultural shift toward pagan and post-Christian worldviews. In this sermon, Pastor Lucas emphasizes that the challenge facing the church is not individual people, but the larger attempt to replace the Christian worldview with spiritual substitutes that promise meaning yet lead people away from the truth of the Gospel. He explains why the church must understand both the moment we’re living in and the direction society is moving—preparing to become the “Church of Tomorrow” by standing firm with clarity, conviction, and grace.

Throughout the message, Pastor Lucas highlights the importance of open dialogue within the church, pointing to our upcoming “Ask Me Anything” Sunday as an opportunity for honest questions and deeper discipleship. He also unpacks the significance of communion as a reminder of Christ’s victory and the transformation available to every believer. Drawing from early church history, he shows how Christians in ancient Rome defended their faith against false accusations and makes clear the parallels to modern criticisms of Christianity today—accusations of bigotry, judgmentalism, and irrelevance.

Pastor Lucas then explores humanity’s built-in awareness of God and explains how suppressing that truth leads to spiritual confusion and the rise of alternative belief systems. He addresses the increasing popularity of modern spiritual trends—earth worship, reincarnation, astrology, manifestation, chakras, and globalism—revealing how the desires behind these beliefs ultimately point back to what only Christ can fulfill. The message concludes with a call to reestablish the goodness of God in people’s hearts, demolish arguments that set themselves against the knowledge of God, and invite those seeking spiritual truth to find their answers in Jesus.

Key Themes:

 • The rise of pagan and post-Christian worldviews
 • Preparing to be the “Church of Tomorrow”
 • The importance of open dialogue (“Ask Me Anything” Sunday)
 • Communion and the victory of Christ
 • Early Christian apologetics and modern accusations
 • Humanity’s innate awareness of God
 • The pursuit of spirituality in all the wrong places
 • Reestablishing God’s goodness in a confused culture
 • Calling seekers to truth found only in Jesus

Join Pastor Lucas Miles as he continues his series on “The Pagan Threat.” In this powerful message, Pastor Lucas clarifies that the threat is not individual pagans, but the broader effort to replace the Christian Gospel in society with alternative ideologies rooted in secularism and Marxism. He explains how these movements often use the Hegelian dialectic to introduce radical ideas under more socially acceptable terms, ultimately seeking to erode the foundations of biblical truth. Drawing from Scripture, including the account of the Tower of Babel, Pastor Lucas explores the spiritual and historical roots of humanity’s rebellion against God and warns against the rise of self-deification—when individuals place themselves in the position of God, defining morality and truth on their own terms.

Pastor Lucas also exposes how “soft paganism” has subtly crept into the modern church, through practices like the Enneagram and through attitudes that judge others in ways that only God can. Throughout the message, Pastor Lucas addresses three major challenges facing Christians today: doubts about the goodness of God, the church’s role in justice, and the exclusivity of Christianity. He explains that questioning God’s goodness lies at the heart of rebellion, that the failures of the church do not invalidate the truth of the Gospel, and that salvation is found only in Jesus—yet God’s love is revealed in giving humanity the dignity of choice.

Key Themes:

The real “Pagan Threat"

The use of the Hegelian dialectic

Rebellion and self-deification

“Soft paganism” in the modern church

The Real Reason America Is Turning from God with Pastor Lucas Miles

Episode Description:
In this powerful continuation of The Pagan Threat series, Pastor Lucas Miles unpacks how the Hegelian dialectic—thesis, antithesis, and synthesis—has become the engine driving America’s moral and cultural drift.

From the shift away from a constitutional republic to the erosion of biblical values, Lucas exposes how conflict is strategically manufactured to advance ideological change. He explains how this same dialectic now shapes conversations around marriage, gender, government, and even the church itself.

Lucas confronts the rise of modern paganism and goddess worship, showing how ancient spirits of rebellion—Asherah, Diana, and Gaia—have reemerged in pop culture and progressive spirituality. Drawing from Scripture and history, he traces the spiritual roots of feminism, socialism, and radical environmentalism, connecting them to a single global agenda: to replace God with man-made utopia.

You’ll also hear Lucas explain the “master-slave dialectic” and how it fuels identity politics, feminism, and digital idolatry—from the sexual revolution to the rise of OnlyFans. His message is clear: every attempt to find identity apart from Christ leads to bondage.

📖 Key themes:

• The Hegelian dialectic and the manipulation of cultural conflict
• How Marxism and paganism merge in today’s social movements
• The spiritual roots of feminism and goddess worship
• Why Christianity is the true counterculture in an age of confusion
• A call to repentance, renewal, and spiritual clarity

In this eye-opening message, Pastor Lucas Miles reveals how the modern progressive agenda—transhumanism, gender ideology, radical feminism, and even environmentalism—are all fueled by the same ancient, spiritual deception.

Drawing from Hegel, Marx, and early feminist thought, Pastor Lucas traces the philosophical and theological roots of today’s cultural revolution—showing how a Marxist-pagan worldview seeks to dethrone God and make humanity its own god.

Through biblical insight and historical clarity, he contrasts this counterfeit “utopia” with the true hope of the Gospel: that only Christ’s return can make all things new.

📖 Topics include:

• How Marxism evolved into a religious movement that mimics Christianity
• The connection between Hegelian philosophy and cultural progressivism
• Why transgender ideology and radical feminism are spiritual battles, not social ones
• The shocking story of Lilith—and how her myth became a symbol for modern feminism
• Why Christianity is now the true counterculture in an age of confusion

If you’ve ever wondered how we got here as a culture — and what believers can do to push back — this message will equip you to stand firm in truth and courage.

This week, guest speaker Pastor Garrett Myers from Resurrection Church in Lima, Ohio, brought a powerful message of hope titled “Joy Comes in the Morning.” Speaking to a church walking through grief, Pastor Garrett reminded us that while weeping may last for a night, God’s joy and faithfulness remain unshaken (Psalm 30:5).

Drawing from Joshua 1 and Acts 12, he challenged us to rise up with courage, let go of offenses, walk in unity, and commit to constant prayer—for our leaders, for one another, and for revival in our community. Pastor Garrett reminded us that while God opens doors, we are called to step through them in boldness, forgiveness, and faith.

The service closed with baptisms and a clear call: stand together, pray continually, and trust that even in seasons of loss, joy comes in the morning.
