From elite schools to corporate boardrooms, he questions the silence - and what it means for South Africa's moral leadership.

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).
