Faith Under Fire: Pastor Lucas Miles & Andrew Sedra on Persecution, Freedom, and Revival

Pastor Lucas Miles opens with a powerful reflection on revival, the call to deeper intimacy with Christ, and the growing influence of cultural paganism in our world today. He challenges listeners to move beyond routine service into true discipleship—inviting believers to give God a year to completely transform their lives.

The message continues with guest speaker Pastor Andrew Sedra, who brings a global perspective from his ministry experience across the Middle East and Australia. Together, they unpack the rising challenges facing the global church—from secularism and persecution to the cost of genuine faith.

This conversation cuts to the heart of what it means to follow Jesus in an age of compromise—calling believers to courage, repentance, and action. Through stories, biblical truth, and prophetic insight, Pastor Lucas and Pastor Andrew remind us that revival starts not in culture or politics, but in the surrendered heart of every believer.
