Islam in America: The Gospel vs. Sharia | The Pastor’s Office Ep. 12

Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the United States โ€” and most Americans don’t know it. On this episode of The Pastor’s Office, Pastor Travis sits down with Pastor Josh Lawrence, Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Eldoret and is the founder and president of Great Commission Ministries.

Josh shares the story of going to roughly 100 mosques to share the gospel โ€” and the hard-won lesson that changed everything. After his first ten or twelve conversations went nowhere, he realized he’d come armed for debate but had forgotten to actually preach the cross. What happened when he went back is a powerful picture of Romans 1.

We also talk through:

โ€ข The rise of Islam in America and what the 2020 census projections actually show

โ€ข What Sharia law really means โ€” and why it can’t be called a “religion of peace”

โ€ข The historical chapter of jihad that history textbooks tend to skip

โ€ข The story of Nabeel Qureshi and “Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus”

โ€ข Our reaction to recent clips from Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens on Islam

โ€ข Why apologetics has its place โ€” but the gospel is the only answer that works

โ€ข A clear gospel presentation for anyone, Muslim, atheist, or seeker, who’s listening If this episode encouraged you, please like, share, and subscribe so we can keep bringing the gospel to the social media square.

Islam has the distinct possibility of being the end of everything this country was founded upon , and what it stands for today .
Islam is a cancer growing in our country . Most Americans are too stupid to see it .

Would there be many conversions to Islam if the apologists (especially black people) who converted to Islam knew that the ProMo was white (very light-skinned Arab), owned three dozen black slaves whom he referred to as raisin heads or that the Trans-Saharan Arab/Muslim slave trade was 5X greater and more brutal than the Trans-Atlantic slave trade?
