America’s Spiritual Crisis at 250 Years | Lucas Miles | Ep. 168

In this provocative episode of the City of God, Dr. Rob Pacienza sits down with Lucas Miles, pastor, author, and leader of TPUSA Faith, for a wide-ranging conversation about deception, theology, and the future of the Church.

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, many commentators focus on politics, economics, and cultural trends. Lucas argues that these challenges are merely symptoms of something deeper: a spiritual crisis rooted in bad theology and a rejection of biblical truth. As he puts it, “everything is downstream from theology.”

Together, Rob and Lucas explore the growing influence of progressive Christianity, the rise of neo-paganism among younger generations, and the worldview battles shaping churches, schools, and public life.

● You’ll hear about:
● Why America’s greatest challenges are spiritual before they are political
● The rise of neo-paganism and why younger generations are embracing it
● How progressive Christianity became a vehicle for cultural Marxist ideas
● Why deception—not just bad ideas—is fueling today’s cultural confusion
● The importance of courageous pastors who are willing to speak truth boldly
● How TPUSA Faith is helping equip and unite pastors across denominational lines
