From Spanish Conquistadors to sturdy cowboys, explore the history of the Lone Star State as you’ve never done before as part of our exciting Texas Faith & Freedom Tour.

Trace the great events in Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries that precipitated Spanish conquest of Texas and the New World. Learn how the flags of France and Spain came to Texas, of the rise of Mexican hegemony, and of the great battles for Texas Independence that culminated at the Alamo, where Travis and his courageous band of defenders drew a line in the sand for liberty. Consider the history-changing legacy of discipleship that Moses Austin left as his son Stephen carried out his vision in settling 300 families in South East Texas. Meet other fabulous characters from Texas’ past, including Sam Houston, Ben Milam, Davy Crockett, and Samuel Maverick. Follow the brave feats of cowboys, Confederates, and Texas Rangers as they tamed the West, defended justice on the frontier, and fought their enemies in various battles. Hear the amazing story of how Teddy Roosevelt raised the Rough Riders in San Antonio’s historic Menger Hotel, just a few feet away from the Alamo. Study the contrasting leadership styles of John O. Meusebach and Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels—one good and the other bad—as they led German families to immigrate to Texas in the 1840s.

And relive WWII through the stories of Texas native Admiral Chester Nimitz, P-51 Mustang Pilot Bill Brown, and other heroes who fought in the Pacific Theatre against Imperial Japan.

Through it all, come to understand why after five hundred years of a ferocious struggle for freedom, Texans still rejoin—“Don’t Mess with Texas!”

Told from a providential perspective, this exciting history series recorded live in the field looks beyond the big and bold exploits that have come to characterize Texas to uncover key lessons that Christians can learn from the history of the Lone Star State.
