About this listen

Zuby is joined by Abdu Murray, attorney, public speaker, author, and founder of

Embrace the Truth. A former Muslim who spent nine years investigating the historical,

philosophical, and scientific claims of Christianity before converting. The two discuss what

truth actually is and how we can know it, the contingency 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, autonomy vs real

freedom, gender ideology, social contagion, identity confusion, and the rise of AI,

transhumanist dreams.
