Strong Church

In this special edition of the Strong Church Podcast, Pastor Lucas Miles and Nicholas Bowling take the gospel outside the studio and onto the campus of the University of Central Florida. At an open table, Lucas engages students in unscripted conversations about faith, science, morality, and the reliability of the Bible.
From questions about evolution and Noah’s Ark to debates on miracles, Islam, and the resurrection of Jesus, this episode captures real dialogue with agnostic, atheist, and culturally religious students wrestling with life’s biggest questions.
This isn’t a polished debate, it’s authentic, on-the-ground engagement meant to encourage believers to step into their own conversations with boldness and grace.
Topics Covered:
Can science and Christianity really coexist?

How to approach conversations with Muslims about Jesus

Evolution, Noah’s Ark, and the reliability of Genesis

Miracles and the resurrection as evidence for God’s involvement in history
