Its goal is to tear down the existing societal framework and create a new system. Wokeism has been intentionally injected into these institutions through the influence of organizations like Open Society and ties to Communist China. The origins of wokeism can be traced back to the 1700s with the evolution of critical theory and deconstruction. The progressive nature of wokeism constantly pushes for further change and deconstruction, leading to a departure from logical and moral values.    Lucas Miles discusses his journey of recognizing and addressing the infiltration of progressivism and woke ideology in the church. He shares his experiences with the university system, local politics, and the impact it had on his church. Miles emphasizes the importance of standing strong in the face of cultural pressure and not compromising the gospel.

He also provides guidance on identifying signs of woke ideology in churches and highlights the need for strong male leadership in the fight against it.   Lucas Miles is a trusted voice in the American church who has consistently addressed some of the most challenging topics in theology, politics, and culture.
