#392 Abdu Murray - Everything We're Told About The West Is Wrong
Zuby is joined by Abdu Murray; attorney, public speaker, author, and founder of Embrace the Truth. Abdu is a former Muslim who spent nine years investigating the historical, philosophical, and scientific claims of Christianity before converting. The two discuss what 'truth' is, the argument for God’s existence, and why Abdu sees the Bible as uniquely coherent both philosophically and existentially. The conversation also explores the West’s cultural crisis, post-truth thinking, gender ideology, transhumanist dreams, and more.
