    Burning Questions on Hell, Islam, Sexuality, and More Answered (NYC Q&A) | Ep 89
    Sep 8 2025
    What do you say when someone asks, “If God is so loving, why do people end up in hell?” In this special Q&A at Times Square Church in New York City, Abdu Murray tackled some of the hardest questions about faith, truth, and the hope found in Christ. From challenges about the Bible’s trustworthiness to how Christians can minister to friends in the LGBTQ community, these questions cut to the heart of what it means to follow Jesus in today’s culture. Thanks to the efforts of Times Square Church, this evening brought together hundreds of seekers and believers for an honest, unfiltered dialogue. Other questions asked in this episode include: Why trust an old book like the bible? How do we minister to our LGBTQ friends? What's the big difference between Islam and Christianity? Outside of eyewitnesses, what evidence is there for the resurrection? Who were the Nephilim? And more! 🎙️ All Rise is the podcast where truth is put on trial.

  • My Dialogue with a Hindu on Creation, Evil, Reincarnation and Much More! | Ep 88

    My Dialogue with a Hindu on Creation, Evil, Reincarnation and Much More! | Ep 88
    Aug 25 2025
    In this episode of All Rise, we are bringing you a wide-ranging dialogue between Abdu Murray (a former Muslim who is now a Christian) and Fred Stella (a former Catholic who is now Hindu) on life’s deepest questions. How did the universe come to be? Why is there evil and suffering? What happens after death—and what role do reincarnation and karma play? Together, in front of a packed audience at Compass Church in Naperville, Illinois, they engage candidly on the Hindu and Christian views of creation, the problem of suffering, the caste system, and the hope of the afterlife. With honesty and respect, this conversation highlights where these two great worldviews differ, but also where they challenge us to think more deeply about truth, justice, and ultimate meaning. Whether you come from a Hindu background, a Christian background, or are simply seeking answers to life’s biggest questions, this dialogue will give you fresh insight into how faith traditions wrestle with what it means to be human. This event also includes audience Q&A. Fred Stella is ordained as an Outreach Minister by his local Hindu temple. He also serves as a member of the National Leadership Council of the Hindu American Foundation, an advocacy group based in Washington, DC, and is an in-demand voice actor. 🎙️ All Rise is the podcast where truth is put on trial.

  • Beyond the Binary? What the Bible REALLY Teaches with Kyla Gillespie | Ep 87

    Beyond the Binary? What the Bible REALLY Teaches with Kyla Gillespie | Ep 87
    Aug 18 2025
    In this episode of All Rise, Kyla Gillespie joins us to explore the deeper theological debates surrounding gender and Scripture. Some voices argue that the Bible supports transgender identities—but what do those arguments really say? And how should we think about them in light of creation, redemption, and identity in Christ? With clarity and compassion, Kyla and our hosts explore what Scripture really teaches about gender, creation, and identity in Christ. Far from being a message of exclusion, the Bible offers a vision of wholeness, truth, and redemption that speaks to every human heart. Whether you’re wrestling with questions yourself or engaging with friends who are, this conversation will help you see both the strength of the biblical witness and the hope it offers.
