Woke Jesus? Exposing Progressive Ideology in the Church

In this 26-minute episode, Peter Demos sits down with Lucas Miles, pastor, author of Woke Jesus, and Senior Director of TPUSA Faith, to examine the rise of progressive ideology in the American church. Miles reveals how historical movements — from the Social Gospel to Liberation Theology — have led to a modern reimagining of Jesus not as Savior, but as a social justice activist. He warns this “Woke Jesus” is a heretical distortion that’s overtaking pulpits, weakening doctrine, and hijacking biblical truth.

This isn’t just a theological debate — it’s a spiritual battle for the soul of the church. We all need to hear Miles’ challenge to pastors about standing boldly, preaching the full counsel of God, and reclaiming the truth about grace, justice, and love.
