This isn’t just about history or manuscripts; it’s about what you believe, how you live, and whether you’re equipped to stand firm in a world that increasingly rejects truth. At the center of it all is the gospel: a holy God who stepped into history, shed His blood, and made a way for sinners to be saved.

EPISODE 0272 | Islamification of America Part 2: Islamic Expansion in Central Texas
In today’s episode, Pastor Nate is joined by Ryan Onesto—an Air Force veteran and Vintage Liberty Hill member—to talk about what they believe is the growing Islamic institutional presence in Texas, and why it matters beyond simple mosque counts. Together they discuss the difference between a “place of worship” and a broader ecosystem of influence—schools, leadership training, civic engagement, community development, and long-term infrastructure meant for permanence. They walk through reported growth trends in Texas, zoom in on Central Texas examples (including Cedar Park, Georgetown, and Leander), and unpack concerns around funding structures like the North American Islamic Trust and the use of waqf-style property arrangements. The conversation also explores the idea that institutions precede influence, influence precedes law, and law precedes enforcement—urging Christians to stay alert, engaged, and involved locally without operating in hate, but with conviction, clarity, and a commitment to preserve religious liberty.
