From Cuba to the Capitol: Pastor Rafael Cruz’s Personal Testimony and Public Faith | Ep. 135

In this episode of The City of God podcast, Pastor Rob Pacienza is joined by Pastor Rafael Cruz, father of Senator Ted Cruz, for a riveting conversation on faith, freedom, and civic responsibility. Born in Cuba, Pastor Cruz lived through the rise of Fidel Castro and the brutal onset of communism. His firsthand experience with tyranny shaped a lifelong commitment to liberty—and a deep conviction that the church must speak into every sphere of society, including government.

Pastor Cruz recounts his dramatic salvation story, his early role in mobilizing Christian voters for Ronald Reagan, and his God-given calling to awaken pastors across America to their responsibility as watchmen on the wall. Together, he and Rob explore why Marxism stands in direct opposition to biblical truth, why silence in the pulpit is a danger to the nation, and why the next generation is America’s greatest hope for revival.
