In Season 2, Episode 15 of the Renewed and Transformed Podcast, host Kyla Gillespie sits down with author, speaker, and apologist Abdu Murray for a powerful and thought-provoking conversation on truth, identity, sexuality, and freedom in today’s post-truth culture. Abdu shares his compelling journey from Islam to Christianity, revealing the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual cost of following Jesus—and why it is always worth it.

Drawing from his book Saving Truth, Abdu unpacks how modern culture elevates feelings over facts, leading to confusion around identity, gender, and sexuality. Together, they explore how biblical truth brings clarity, how true freedom is found in Christ—not autonomy—and how God’s design for humanity is both sacred and life-giving.
