Respectful Muslim Engagement Something that many Christians struggle with but rarely talk about is how to begin conversations about Jesus with our Muslim friends, neighbors, or co-workers. If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to start, you’re not alone. I recently spoke with Abdu Murray, a former Muslim turned Christian apologist, on the Apologetics Guy Show.
