Pastor Lucas Miles joined Newsmax’s Saturday Report to lay out a bold vision for a conservative, Christian America, and to discuss his new book, Pagan Threat: Confronting America’s Godless Uprising. Miles has positioned the book as a handbook for reclaiming the public square and restoring Christian influence where it has been hollowed out by secular ideologies.
Miles is not a fringe figure; he serves as a leader in Turning Point USA Faith and hosts the influential show Church & State, where he has consistently argued that modern woke ideology functions like a competing religion. He warns that propaganda masquerading as morality is training a new generation to treat politics as worship and replace Christ with the cult of identity and victimhood.
On Newsmax Miles paid tribute to Charlie Kirk and made clear why Kirk was the perfect choice to write the book’s foreword, saying Charlie understood the dangers facing this country better than anyone. Miles framed Kirk’s work and sacrifice as proof that the fight for truth and faith in America is real, urgent, and not for the faint of heart.
We must also speak plainly about what has happened to our movement. Charlie Kirk was killed at a Turning Point event on September 10, 2025, a violent act that shocked the nation and left a void in conservative organizing and youth outreach. The assassination has forced conservative leaders to reckon with a new level of hostility toward our ideas and our people.
Miles’s book lays out practical steps for churches and patriots to respond: deepen discipleship, engage in the public square, and reclaim the hearts of young Americans from a counterfeit gospel of grievance. This is the kind of strategic, faith-driven plan that practical conservatives have been craving — not more hand-wringing, but a roadmap to win.
The response to Pagan Threat shows that the grassroots is listening; Miles’s message has climbed bestseller lists and is being talked about in living rooms, churches, and campus groups across the country. Conservatives who want a future for America that honors God and defends liberty should see this as a clarion call to support leaders who will fight both culturally and spiritually.
Hardworking Americans who love freedom and faith should take Pastor Miles’s warning seriously and move from complaint to action. Rebuilding a conservative, Christian America will take courage, conviction, and organization — and we must answer that call with every ounce of resolve.
