Vice: Arrested Patriot Front Brothers Have Ties to Apocalyptic Christian Nationalist Church
Two brothers and members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front are affiliated with On Fire Ministries, founded by ex-Washington state Rep. Matt Shea.
Two brothers who were recently arrested in Idaho along with 29 other members of white nationalist group Patriot Front have extensive ties to a Christian nationalist church known for its apocalyptic outlook and culture war teachings.

Mishael and Josiah Buster, ages 22 and 24, respectively, are affiliated with On Fire Ministries, a religious nonprofit founded a year ago in Spokane, Washington, by former state Rep. Matt Shea, who's known for his ties to extremist groups. Much of the congregation's teachings hinge on the Bible's Book of Revelation, whose apocalyptic visions have inspired far-right paramilitary extremists for decades. Like other Christian nationalist congregations, the church frames culture war issues, such as trans rights, immigration, vaccines or critical race theory, as primordial battles between good and evil.

Up until last week, Matt Buster, Mishael and Josiah's father, was described in the "leadership" section of the congregation's website as heading a subgroup called "Real Men's Ministries." A flyer for his group cites Proverbs 27:17: "As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." Buster also appeared onstage with Shea as recently as this past weekend.

Mishael appeared onstage with his father at an On Fire Ministries event in December.

A post on the congregation's Facebook page last year also described Mishael as being part of the ministry's "online team," according to Range, a media outlet based in the Pacific Northwest.

Josiah, who currently lives in Texas, was photographed at an event linked to On Fire Ministries last year with his father.
