In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell sit down with Sabrina Joy Stevens to explore what happens when the systems designed to combat "disinformation" begin to lose their grip on truth.

As a former insider in the anti-disinformation world, Sabrina shares her journey from activist to critic—and why the narrative she once defended eventually stopped adding up. Along the way, we examine the rise of institutional groupthink, the pressure to conform, and what it means to pursue truth when it comes at a personal cost.

In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell respond to viewer questions about miracles and free will.

First, why don't we seem to see miracles today the way we do in the Bible—and is modern skepticism really as rational as it claims? Then we turn to another perennial question: do human beings truly have free will, or are our choices determined?

In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell confront one of the most difficult questions about hell: is it fair?

If we didn't ask to be born—and if we enter a fallen world where sin is inevitable—how can eternal judgment be just? Rather than repeating familiar answers, we examine the tension between biblical texts that seem to support everything from "double predestination" to "universalism" and everything in between to help make sense of the biblical portrayal of hope.

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?

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.

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)

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.

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." Check out the latest episodes with Abdu here:
