Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “The Power of Prayer” with a discussion with Abdu Murray about how cultural forces are not just social trends, but spiritual challenges that threaten how we understand truth, identity, and what it means to be made in God’s image. Abdu is a speaker, author, and attorney who specializes in addressing issues where religious faith and emerging cultural trends intersect and collide. He is also the President of Embrace the Truth. He has also authored several books, including his latest, “Fake ID: How AI and Identity Ideology Are Collapsing Reality and What to Do About It”. Then we had Pastor Leonard Tanks join us to share his freedom story and about disciple-making. Pastor Tanks is a pastor, apologist, and emerging theologian based in Cleveland, Ohio, where he serves as the pastor and church planter of Reach City Church. He is committed to discipleship, and in January, Reach City Church launched its first Disciple-Making Bootcamp for Cleveland residents. Pastor Tanks will also be a guest speaker at the Walk Worthy Men’s Conference in Akron, Ohio, at The Chapel on Saturday, February 28th.

No episódio de hoje do Ufologia de Quintal, a gente viaja até o interior do Nordeste brasileiro para relembrar um dos relatos mais intrigantes da casuística ufológica nacional: o suposto caso de abdução de Zé Tota.Entre estradas de chão batido, noites silenciosas e céus incrivelmente estrelados, surge a história de um homem simples, conhecido na região, que teria vivido uma experiência inexplicável — luzes no céu, perda de tempo, marcas no corpo e memórias fragmentadas de um contato que mudaria sua vida para sempre.O caso ganhou força dentro da ufologia regional e passou a circular entre pesquisadores independentes, curiosos e moradores que já relatavam avistamentos na área. Estaria Zé Tota diante de um encontro imediato? Um episódio de abdução? Ou tudo não passaria de uma construção psicológica alimentada pelo imaginário popular nordestino?Neste episódio, analisamos:O contexto geográfico e cultural da região;A tradição de relatos ufológicos no Nordeste;Os detalhes da narrativa de Zé Tota;Os argumentos que sustentam a veracidade do caso;E os contrapontos céticos que levantam dúvidas sobre o ocorrido.Prepare o café, puxe a cadeira para o terreiro e venha olhar para o céu com a gente.

In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell tackle two deeply personal and often misunderstood questions about the Christian life.  First, what is the true relationship between law and grace—are they opposed to one another, or do they work together in a way many Christians miss? Second, how should we understand negative emotions that make us doubt God's promises—especially when our feelings seem louder than our faith?     

We are living through a crisis of clarity. In the name of empathy, we have untethered compassion from truth, traded moral courage for slogans, and reduced identity to something endlessly self-constructed. The result is not freedom, but confusion, where words lose meaning, conviction is treated as cruelty, and the church often responds with language that sounds kind but forms no one. This week on Win Today, apologist and author Abdu Murray joins me for a sober, unflinching conversation about self-creation, gender ideology, and the liabilities of a post-truth culture. We examine how empathy becomes destructive when it is severed from reality, why identity collapses when it is built on feelings alone, and how the church's reliance on syrupy slogans leaves believers ill-equipped to engage the moment with wisdom and courage. This isn't reactionary, it's diagnostic. If you sense the ground shifting beneath basic definitions of personhood, truth, and meaning, this episode offers clarity without cruelty and conviction without caricature. Guest Bio Abdu Murray is an author, speaker, and apologist who explores the intellectual credibility of the Christian faith in a post-truth world. With a background in law and years of experience engaging questions of identity, meaning, and worldview, Abdu is widely respected for his clarity, charity, and ability to address complex cultural issues with reasoned conviction.

In a world overwhelmed by self-definition and shifting truths, this message with Abdu Murray exposes the deep identity confusion plaguing our culture, and how the gospel answers it. Drawing from his background in law and apologetics, Abdu reveals how today's identity crisis stems not from a lack of options, but from too many counterfeit paths that fail to satisfy our longing to belong. Whether it's gender, race, political affiliation, or past wounds, we often construct identities that are fragile, temporary, and ultimately self-defeating. But the gospel invites us into a stable, unchanging identity rooted not in what we feel or what we've done, but in who Jesus is and what He's done for us. This conversation invites listeners to trade the exhausting pursuit of self-made significance for the liberating truth of being known, loved, and named by God.

In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell respond to one of the most painful and emotionally charged questions we've received from viewers: "Why do people die young?"  This question isn't theoretical. It's asked in hospital rooms, at gravesides, and in the grieving moments after sudden loss. It presses directly on the goodness of God, the reality of suffering, and whether faith can survive tragedy.  In today's episode, we explore:  Why the early death of young people strikes us as uniquely unjust  Whether God's goodness is compatible with allowing such loss  What Christianity does—and does not—claim about suffering and divine intervention  Why some common answers, even well-meaning ones, often make the problem worse rather than better  Rather than offering clichés or quick fixes, we slow down and take the question seriously—philosophically, theologically, and humanly—because some questions deserve more than platitudes.     

Happy Wednesday! We are so glad you're joining us today. We back with one of our favorite guest, Abdu Murray. We are also joined with two of our co-host, Sarah and Cailee.    In this episode, we tackle the topic of AI.    Does AI go against the nature of God?    Does using AI stop our God-given creativity?   Is there anything AI can't do?   Abdu just release a book called "Fake ID" where he dives deeper into this topic.   We hope you enjoy this week's episode!   --  Links Fake ID: How AI and Identity Ideology Are Collapsing Reality - And What to Do About It Embrace The Truth Abdu Murray - YouTube ”Was Jesus Raised from the Dead?” Grand Central Question - Abdu Murray Saving Truth - Abdu Murray More Than a White Man's Religion - Abdu Mu Questions Christianity Answers with Abdu Murray REPLAY: Questions Christianity Answers with Abdu Murray What Happens When You Embrace the Truth about Jesus Christ? with Abdu Murray Christianity: Is it helpful? Is it good? with Abdu Murray

This special Christmas episode of All Rise with Abdu Murray features a live presentation Abdu delivered at Rochester Christian University. Following the talk, Abdu engages in a live Q&A with students and other attendees that spans a wide range of theological and cultural issues, including perhaps the most polarizing one of all right now: Has Zionism hijacked Christianity? This episode is presented in full as a Christmas release, inviting listeners to consider how truth can be shared thoughtfully—even in the most contested conversations.     

In this episode, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell address two important questions submitted by viewers—one about the origins of Christian belief, and one about sharing the Christian faith with people from different backgrounds.  1. "Is Jesus just a copy of Zoroaster?" We examine the popular claim that Christianity borrowed its key ideas from ancient Zoroastrianism. Did concepts like judgment, resurrection, or a final savior come from Persian religion? We walk through what the historical evidence actually shows and let the scholars speak.  2. "How should we engage people who are more difficult to reach, such as Jews, Muslims, or others who approach faith differently?" We talk about how to have meaningful conversations with people from various worldviews, and how to help your children prepare for the beliefs they will encounter.    In this episode, we mentioned several resources. Here are a few in order of their mention:  -Derek's blog on the Old and New Testaments and Zoroastrianism: https://embracethetruth.org/blog/was-jesus-just-a-zoroastrian-knockoff/  -Edwin Yamauchi's book, Persia and the Bible (Baker, 1996)  -Abdu's conversation with Jewish convert David Shapiro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzcUHwFu3Dk -Mama Bear Apologetics: https://mamabearapologetics.com/  -Cameron and Stuart McAllister's book, Faith that Lasts (IVP, 2021)  -The Museum of Created Beauty: https://museumofcreatedbeauty.org/   -Xandra Grieme and Ken Boa's Created Beauty series of books (check out Nebulae here: https://a.co/d/2umJIGs).    

This week, we didn't preach a sermon; we hosted a conversation. Apologist and author Abdu Murray joined us live to tackle some of the most pressing, complex, and emotionally charged questions facing followers of Jesus today. From gender ideology to unanswered prayer, from Islamic extremism to spiritual deception, Abdu brought biblical clarity, cultural wisdom, and a posture of grace. He reminded us that truth and compassion are not enemies, that the gospel still speaks powerfully to modern questions, and that our faith must be both intellectually credible and deeply personal. Whether we're responding to injustice, explaining suffering, or wrestling with spiritual questions ourselves, this conversation helped us think more critically, love more courageously, and stand more confidently in a confused world.

In this new series, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell tackle your toughest—and sometimes bluntest—questions about Christianity, Islam, theology, philosophy, and culture.  In today's episode, we address two big viewer questions:  1. "What does it mean when Christians say evil is a 'negation of the good'? Doesn't that minimize real evil?" We unpack the classical Christian understanding of evil—not as something trivial or imaginary, but as a profound distortion of the good—and explain why this view actually amplifies the seriousness of evil rather than diminishing it.  2. "You said most Muslims don't read the Qur'an. That's wrong! Over 3 million Muslims have memorized it, and its early transmission proves perfect preservation!" We respond to this challenge by clarifying what we meant, examining the difference between recitation and comprehension, and discussing what the historical data about the Qur'an's compilation and textual variants really shows.     

In this live university Q&A at Western Michigan University, Abdu Murray engages students in a wide-ranging conversation about belief, doubt, and truth.  From cultural identity and politics to science and the soul, Abdu explores whether faith is a leap or a response to something real. Students press him on everything from the "women be silent" passage to the Trinity, from moral questions to science and DNA.  Drawing from his journey from Islam to Christianity, Abdu shows how truth isn't just an idea to defend—it's a reality that changes how we see the world and one another.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly “Tough Questions for Christians” theme with discussions about how riches and treasures can keep us from the Kingdom of Heaven, without God. We turn to Mark 10:17-27, which tells us of the rich man earnestly seeking Jesus, but was told to give up his riches to enter Heaven. We cannot be attached to the things of this world because we need to be able to choose Jesus over the things of this earth. We had Abdu Murray join us to share his faith story as a former muslim, and he discussed the differences in religions. Abdu is a speaker, author, and attorney who addresses issues where religious faith and emerging cultural trends intersect and collide. He is also the President of Embrace the Truth and has spent decades analyzing how major religious and non-religious thought traditions have attempted to address emerging cultural issues. Dr. Clay Jones also joined us to discuss how God uses suffering for our growth and spiritual transformation and how we should keep our minds focused on eternity. Dr. Jones is a former pastor and was a professor in the Master of Arts in Christian Apologetics program at Talbot School of Theology for 16 years. He is also the author of the book, “How Does God Use Suffering for Our Good?” We also turned to the phone lines to ask listeners, “How had God used suffering in your life for good?” Then we had Dr. Don Sweeting join us to talk about Founders Week”, a week of Bible teaching and a time of worship for the Moody Bible Institute (MBI). Dr. Sweeting is the recent President and Chancellor at Colorado Christian University. He's a noted educator, minister, academic, and author.

In this live audience Q&A at Northend Church, Abdu Murray joins Pastor Mike Sherbino to tackle some of the hardest questions people ask about God, evil, and faith.  From the problem of suffering to the reach of grace, from apathy and doubt to conversations with Muslims and Hindus, this open forum explores what it means to trust God when the world feels broken.  Abdu also shares from his own journey from Islam to Christianity, and how the hope of Christ transforms not only how we think, but how we see others.  Abdu has been a regular guest on Mike Sherbino's "The Perspective with Mike Sherbino."

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Tough Questions for Christians” with discussions about how Jesus sees us when no one else does. We turned to Matthew 20:29-34, where we see how Jesus healed the two blind men who were calling to Him, despite the people in the crowd telling them to be quiet. Jesus saw those two men and healed them of their infirmities. Then we had Abdu Murray join us to share his faith story, from being a Muslim to becoming a believer, and he debunked the racial myths associated with Christianity. Abdu is a speaker, author, and attorney who specializes in addressing issues where religious faith and emerging cultural trends intersect and collide. He is also the President of Embrace the Truth and has spent decades analyzing how major religious and non-religious thought traditions have addressed emerging cultural issues. Then we had Rob West join us to explain the biblical design for financial generosity in the church. Rob is the host of the nationally syndicated radio program Faith and Finance LIVE, which airs weekdays at 3 pm on 90.1 FM. He is also the host of the Faith and Finance podcast and has a FaithFi App. He is also the CEO of Kingdom Advisors, a community of financial professionals specializing in delivering biblically wise financial advice. We also opened the phone lines to ask our listeners the question, "What was the biggest question you had about following Jesus, and how was it answered?"

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Tough Questions for Christians” with discussions about how Jesus sees us when no one else does. We turned to Matthew 20:29-34, where we see how Jesus healed the two blind men who were calling to Him, despite the people in the crowd telling them to be quiet. Jesus saw those two men and healed them of their infirmities. Then we had Abdu Murray join us to share his faith story, from being a Muslim to becoming a believer, and he debunked the racial myths associated with Christianity. Abdu is a speaker, author, and attorney who specializes in addressing issues where religious faith and emerging cultural trends intersect and collide. He is also the President of Embrace the Truth and has spent decades analyzing how major religious and non-religious thought traditions have addressed emerging cultural issues. Then we had Rob West join us to explain the biblical design for financial generosity in the church. Rob is the host of the nationally syndicated radio program Faith and Finance LIVE, which airs weekdays at 3 pm on 90.1 FM. He is also the host of the Faith and Finance podcast and has a FaithFi App. He is also the CEO of Kingdom Advisors, a community of financial professionals specializing in delivering biblically wise financial advice.

How could an Orthodox Jew become a Christian? Doesn't that mean rejecting the Torah and your own Jewishness?      In this episode of All Rise, Abdu sits down with David Shapiro, host of the Boundless Bible Podcast and a former Orthodox Jew turned Christian apologist. Together they talk about David's journey from Judaism to Christianity and explore the continuity and discontinuity between these two worldviews by looking at the Torah, the Fall and the Tree of Life, the Messiah, binitariansim, and much more.     Learn more about David Shapiro and all of his projects at https://www.drdavidshapiro.org/.    

What do you say when someone asks, “If God is so loving, why do people end up in hell?”  In this special Q&A at Times Square Church in New York City, Abdu Murray tackled some of the hardest questions about faith, truth, and the hope found in Christ. From challenges about the Bible's trustworthiness to how Christians can minister to friends in the LGBTQ community, these questions cut to the heart of what it means to follow Jesus in today's culture.  Thanks to the efforts of Times Square Church, this evening brought together hundreds of seekers and believers for an honest, unfiltered dialogue.   Other questions asked in this episode include:  Why trust an old book like the bible?  How do we minister to our LGBTQ friends?   What's the big difference between Islam and Christianity?   Outside of eyewitnesses, what evidence is there for the resurrection?   Who were the Nephilim?   And more!   

In this episode of All Rise, we are bringing you a wide-ranging dialogue between Abdu Murray (a former Muslim who is now a Christian) and Fred Stella (a former Catholic who is now Hindu) on life's deepest questions. How did the universe come to be? Why is there evil and suffering? What happens after death—and what role do reincarnation and karma play?  Together, in front of a packed audience at Compass Church in Naperville, Illinois, they engage candidly on the Hindu and Christian views of creation, the problem of suffering, the caste system, and the hope of the afterlife. With honesty and respect, this conversation highlights where these two great worldviews differ, but also where they challenge us to think more deeply about truth, justice, and ultimate meaning.  Whether you come from a Hindu background, a Christian background, or are simply seeking answers to life's biggest questions, this dialogue will give you fresh insight into how faith traditions wrestle with what it means to be human.  This event also includes audience Q&A.    Fred Stella is ordained as an Outreach Minister by his local Hindu temple. He also serves as a member of the National Leadership Council of the Hindu American Foundation, an advocacy group based in Washington, DC, and is an in-demand voice actor.   

In this episode of All Rise, Kyla Gillespie joins us to explore the deeper theological debates surrounding gender and Scripture. Some voices argue that the Bible supports transgender identities—but what do those arguments really say? And how should we think about them in light of creation, redemption, and identity in Christ?  With clarity and compassion, Kyla and our hosts explore what Scripture really teaches about gender, creation, and identity in Christ. Far from being a message of exclusion, the Bible offers a vision of wholeness, truth, and redemption that speaks to every human heart.  Whether you're wrestling with questions yourself or engaging with friends who are, this conversation will help you see both the strength of the biblical witness and the hope it offers.     You can keep up with Kyla and her ministry, Renewed & Transformed, at https://kylagillespie.com/.
