This episode sets the stage for the conversations to come—raw, honest reflections on Christianity, Islam, culture, and the Church in the West.

In this episode of the Royal Remnant Podcast, I dive into some of the most common misconceptions about Islam and Muslims.

The Royal Remnant
In this episode of the Royal Remnant Podcast, I discuss the deep theological differences between Christianity and Islam, especially why the idea of Jesus being divine often sparks strong reactions from Muslims.

Why Muslims Reject Christianity: Cultural and Historical Perspectives
The Royal Remnant
In this episode of the Royal Remnant Podcast, I explore the cultural, historical, and political factors that can make the Christian gospel message difficult or even triggering for many Muslims. As someone who once lived on the other side of that conversation, I know it’s about more than just theology. I get into the deeper clash between Western individualism and Eastern collectivism, and how our differing views on freedom, morality, modesty, and the role of women often shape how the Gospel is received. I also talk about the historical wounds left by events like the Crusades and colonialism,...

I also challenge many of the Western assumptions shaped by media narratives, which often paint an incomplete—or even misleading—picture of Muslims. My heart behind this episode is to encourage fellow Christians to engage with Muslims, not with fear or judgment, but with love, curiosity, and respect.

My hope is to offer a more nuanced, honest, and compassionate perspective that can help us build real understanding across cultures and beliefs.
