Burning Questions on Hell, Islam, Sexuality, and More Answered (NYC Q&A) | Ep 89

Episode 89

Monday, September 8, 2025 • Duration 50:43

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!

🎙️ All Rise is the podcast where truth is put on trial. In each episode, ideas are cross-examined and evidence is explored.

My Dialogue with a Hindu on Creation, Evil, Reincarnation and Much More! | Ep 88

Episode 88

Monday, August 25, 2025 • Duration 01:36:27

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.

Who is Allah? Understanding the Islamic View of God | Ep 79

Episode 79

Monday, May 5, 2025 • Duration 47:10

What do Muslims believe about God? In this episode of All Rise, former Muslim and Christian apologist Abdu Murray takes a deep dive into Islamic theology to explore who Allah is—his attributes, character, actions in history, and relationship with humanity.

But this isn’t a caricature. This is a steelman critique.

With both respect and clarity, Abdu outlines the Islamic view of Allah in its best and most compelling form—before thoughtfully examining how it differs from the Christian understanding of God. Drawing from his own background and family ties to Islam, Abdu explains why the biblical picture of God ultimately offers a more complete and relational view of the divine.

Whether you're a Muslim, Christian, skeptic, or curious seeker, this episode offers a respectful and intellectually honest conversation about one of the most important questions of all: Who is God?

Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the famed Muslim-turned-atheist and critic of religion along with her New Atheist cohort, shocked the world when she came out as a Christian in 2023.
