Summary

Miles McPherson is the pastor of the Rock Church in San Diego, former defensive back for the San Diego Chargers, author, actor, motivational speaker, and founder of DoSomethingChurch.org. Miles is a unifier who makes the hope of the gospel real, relevant, and accessible, to empower people to make a difference in the world. Miles latest book “The Third Option” speaks out about the pervasive racial divisions in today’s culture and argues that we must learn to see people not by the color of their skin, but as God sees them—humans created in the image of God. In addition, Miles created The Third Option Similarity Training is designed to help individuals and organizations focus their attention on our similarities, rather than our differences, and to help us develop honoring relationships with those of different racial and ethnic backgrounds.
