By His Grace
Lucas Miles: The Christian Left
In this episode of By His Grace, I interview Lucas Miles.
Lucas is a trusted voice in the American church who has consistently addressed some of the most challenging topics in theology, politics, and culture. He is the host of Faithwire’s The Lucas Miles Show and a cohost of The Church Boys podcast. Lucas and his work have been featured in books and on TV and radio programs, as well as syndicated in articles across both political and religious news outlets. He is also the author of the critically acclaimed book Good God: The One We Want to Believe In but Are Afraid to Embrace.
An ordained pastor with over twenty years of ministry experience, Lucas has been involved in dozens of church planting efforts in the US and in remote locations not least of which is his local ministry, Nfluence Church, where he and his wife, Krissy, have been serving since planting the church in 2004.
Key Takeaways
“This isn’t a Republican or Democrat thing for me. This is really about what do we believe about scripture? What do we believe about Jesus?”
“I think that our faith can guide our politics, but our politics should not dictate our faith.”
“Just because something is called Christian, doesn’t mean all Christian content is equal.”
“If you’re a disciple and a Christian, it should lead you to a pro-life position.”
“To love someone is to have grace for them and it’s also being willing to speak truth to them.”
“The only way to break the cycle is to die to ourselves.”
“Here’s the beautiful thing about Christianity. I speak love to everyone.”
“If we don’t tether ourselves to something, we have a tendency to get carried with the current.”
“When we’re connected to the source, we can find unity in the body of Christ.”
