Summary

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1268 Pagan Shadows: Ancient Gods Reborn in Woke America In this riveting episode of Strange Planet, Pastor Lucas Miles unveils a chilling reality: the ancient pagan gods like Baal and Moloch haven't vanished—they've reinvented themselves in the guises of social justice, gender ideology, and environmentalism. As America hurtles toward a full-scale pagan revival, Miles exposes how Hollywood glorifies witchcraft, celebrities cast spells, and youth swap Bibles for tarot cards. With insights from his collaboration with the late Charlie Kirk, who penned the foreword to his book Pagan Threat, Miles delivers a stark diagnosis and a bold battle plan: deepen discipleship, reclaim the public square, and resist the encroaching darkness. Is "woke" ideology a religion in disguise? GUEST: Pastor Lucas Miles is a bestselling author of Woke Jesus and Pagan Threat, a fearless voice exposing spiritual threats in modern culture. As Senior Director of Turning Point USA Faith, he collaborated closely with Charlie Kirk, who hailed him as a "warrior for Christ." Host of Church and State on Epoch Times and co-host of The Church Boys podcast, Miles has interviewed stars like Mario Lopez, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Jim Caviezel. Featured on Fox News, Newsmax, and CBN, he equips Christians to combat pagan revivals through discipleship, evangelism, and cultural engagement.
