Episode Description

In this episode, Pastor Lucas Miles sits down with Ross Johnston, founder of California Will Be Saved and one of the boldest street preachers on the West Coast. Born through artificial insemination and raised in a lesbian household, Ross shares how his unique upbringing shaped his heart for both truth and compassion.

From preaching on Hollywood Boulevard to shutting down Times Square with worship, Ross has made it his mission to take the gospel outside the four walls of the church. He talks about the urgency of the Great Commission, why love and truth must always go hand in hand, and what it means to encounter God’s presence in the streets, schools, and everyday life.
