Islam's Rise in America, the Iran War, and the Texas Senate Battle | Under God Podcast Episode 280

In Episode 280 of the Under God Podcast, Pastor Daniel Hayworth and Pastor Nate Brown deliver one of the most consequential culture review episodes of the year — covering the Iran conflict at the two-week mark, the Islamification of New York City under Mayor Mamdani, the explosive Texas Senate race, the fight to pass the SAVE Act, and signs of God's faithfulness in the global church.

At the two-week mark of Operation Epic Fury, Pastor Daniel breaks down what's been achieved militarily — the destruction of Iran's navy, nuclear sites, drone infrastructure, and command structures — while addressing the political reality that this is the least popular war at its outset in modern American history. He and Pastor Nate discuss the strategic, moral, and spiritual dimensions of U.S. involvement in Iran, including the growing underground church in Iran where Muslims are coming to Christ through dreams and visions.

The episode turns to New York City, where Mayor Mamdani — described by Pastor Daniel as a communist Islamist — is holding Islamic prayer gatherings inside City Hall, using female influencers to paint Islam as approachable. Pastor Daniel calls this what it is: phase one of a three-phase civilizational conquest, unfolding in the city that bore the cost of 9/11.

The Texas Senate race segment breaks down Ken Paxton's brilliant political maneuver linking his potential dropout to the SAVE Act — before James Talarico is fully exposed through the words of fellow Texas legislator Steve Toth as a wolf in sheep's clothing.

The episode closes with powerful news: Rwanda's persecuted church, 90,000+ at Franklin Graham's Peru revival, and a New York Catholic church overflowing with 20-year-olds hungry for the gospel.
