What Does the Quran Actually Say? A Former Muslim Tells the Truth | Theological | PragerU
Monday, September 14, 2026 • Duration 56:42
Why did Apostate Prophet leave Islam—and why did he eventually become Christian?
In this episode of Theological, Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Ridvan Aydemir, known online as Apostate Prophet, for a direct conversation about Islam, the Quran, Muhammad, Jesus, Judaism, Christianity, antisemitism, terrorism, and Ridvan’s personal journey from Islam to atheism to Christianity.
Ridvan explains why reading the Quran in a language he understood became a turning point in his life. He argues that the Quran makes claims about the natural world, Judaism, Christianity, Jesus, and Muhammad that he no longer believes can be reconciled with truth. Shabbos presses him on whether Islam still teaches valuable practices like prayer, charity, fasting, and pilgrimage—and Ridvan responds by distinguishing useful religious practices from what he sees as false theological claims.

Is DEI Compatible with Christianity? Neil Shenvi Answers | Theological | PragerU
Sunday, August 9, 2026 • Duration 53:14
Is wokeness just politics — or is it actually a religion? And what does Christianity have to say about DEI, critical race theory, and social justice?
In this episode of Theological, host Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Neil Shenvi — PhD in theoretical chemistry from UC Berkeley, Christian apologist, and co-author of Critical Dilemma — for one of the most intellectually rigorous conversations the show has ever had.
Neil isn't a politician or a pundit. He's a scientist who homeschools his kids and has spent years studying the theological and philosophical roots of critical theory, woke ideology, and the social justice movement. And his conclusion is clear: critical theory and Christianity are fundamentally incompatible.

Can Science Prove God Exists? | Theological | PragerU
Monday, May 4, 2026 • Duration 53:36
Is modern science pointing toward God—or away from Him?In this episode of Theological, Shabbos Kestenbaum interviews Dr. Stephen Meyer (Cambridge PhD; Discovery Institute) on intelligent design, fine-tuning, Darwin’s limits, the Big Bang, and why even top scientists wrestle with the universe’s beginning. They also discuss Dr. Meyer’s documentary The Story of Everything, in theaters now.
Meyer breaks down:
What Intelligent Design actually claims (and why critics call it “pseudoscience”)
The difference between “God of the gaps” and inference to the best explanation
The “Goldilocks” fine-tuning problem (and the multiverse response)
Why Einstein resisted a “beginning”… and later admitted: “I was wrong.”
If you’ve ever asked whether faith can be reasonable, whether science can detect design, or what the Big Bang means for theology—this is the episode.
