Pastor Lucas Miles joined Newsmax this week to spell out a clear and unapologetic vision: the conservative movement must become explicitly Christian if it wants to save this republic. Miles, a senior director at Turning Point USA Faith and the author of Pagan Threat, made plain that Charlie Kirk’s influence still guides the fight for young Americans’ souls and minds.
Miles reminded viewers that Charlie Kirk personally wrote the foreword to Pagan Threat, calling the book a necessary wake-up call for Christians worried about the direction of this country. That endorsement — coming from one of conservatism’s most fearless youth leaders — gives the project cultural weight and tactical urgency.
The context for Miles’s remarks could not be sharper: Charlie Kirk was murdered while doing the hard work of organizing on campus, and his death has only hardened conservative resolve rather than silencing it. Miles has repeatedly described Kirk as a believer who knowingly faced threats to bring the Gospel and conservative ideas to a new generation.
Turning Point USA has already moved to ensure Kirk’s mission endures, naming his wife, Erika Kirk, to lead the organization and vowing to expand the footprint Charlie built on campuses across America. Donors are pouring in, chapters are multiplying, and the movement’s energy looks poised to grow — exactly what every patriot should want after such a tragic loss.
Miles’s central argument — that wokeism has mutated into a pseudo-religion aimed at supplanting Christianity — is blunt and strategic, not sentimental. He lays out a seven-step plan for churches, parents, and leaders to counter Marxist and neo-pagan influences, and he urged believers to return to the pews and reclaim the culture. That sort of no-nonsense, faith-driven organizing is the medicine this country needs.
Conservatives should not be shy about calling out the institutions that have incubated this rot: Ivy League elites, activist professors, and a media class that celebrates chaos while shamefully ignoring the consequences. Turning Point’s campus network and Charlie’s knack for outreach proved that when conservatives engage, we win hearts and minds — and that engagement must now be deeper, bolder, and rooted in Christian conviction.
If you wonder what leadership looks like in a crisis, watch how Miles channels grief into strategy and how TPUSA responds with unity and purpose. This is not a time for handwringing or concession; it’s a time to double down on values, to keep training young leaders, and to make sure Charlie’s work outlives the moment of his martyrdom.
Hardworking Americans should take this moment as a call to action: volunteer on campus chapters, support faith-based outreach, and insist that our schools and institutions stop teaching our children to worship the altar of victimhood. Pastor Miles’s message is simple and urgent — make conservatism Christian again, and America will be stronger for it.
