In this episode, I discuss what it truly means that Christ is supreme over all things. As an ex-Muslim and now a follower of Jesus, I share why my love for Christ is at the very center of my life and faith. I open up about my journey, my love for Jesus, and why knowing Him is the greatest privilege anyone can have.

I also explore how certain teachings within Christian Zionism can unintentionally diminish the core reality of Christ’s supremacy. I discuss the dangers of prioritizing political or ethnic concerns over Jesus and why dual-covenant theology doesn’t align with the gospel. Drawing from scripture, especially the books of Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews, I explain why salvation is found only in Christ, for both Jews and Gentiles.

Throughout the episode, I challenge listeners to return to the apostolic gospel, to proclaim Christ alone as Lord and Savior boldly, and to avoid letting political ideologies overshadow the heart of the Christian faith. Whether you’re curious about the intersection of faith, politics, and culture or just want to hear more about the beauty of Jesus, this episode is for you.

Join me as I unpack these important truths, share personal stories, and encourage you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

In this episode, I dive deeper into the theology behind Christian Zionism and challenge the narratives that connect Jesus to modern political movements. I share my perspective on how Christian Zionist beliefs—like dispensationalism, replacement theology, and dual covenant theology—have shaped Western Christianity and often distorted the gospel. I unpack the roots and implications of these ideas, highlighting how they can fuel division and distract from the true message of Christ. My goal is to encourage you to re-examine your theology, prioritize unity in Christ, and resist the temptation to mix faith with nationalism or political agendas. Join me as I call believers to seek a deeper relationship with Jesus, embrace a gospel of reconciliation, and stand for justice and peace in a world full of conflict and confusion.

In this episode, I open up about my journey of questioning and deconstructing Christian Zionism. I share how my perspective shifted from seeing Islam as the root of all evil to recognizing the dangers of a specific branch of evangelical Christianity—Christian Zionism.

I break down what Christian Zionism is, where it came from, and how it has evolved into a powerful force shaping politics, foreign policy, and the lives of people in the Middle East. Drawing on my research, spiritual wrestling, and lived experience, I examine the history, theology, and practical implications of this ideology.

I also reflect on the pivotal events of October 7th, 2023, and how they changed my understanding of faith, politics, and compassion. This episode offers an honest and challenging examination of how religious beliefs can be distorted to justify harm, and why it’s crucial for us as Christians to critically evaluate any ideology that diverts attention from the centrality of Christ and the gospel.

Join me as I invite you to think critically, seek truth, and let the Holy Spirit guide us toward a faith that values justice, empathy, and the dignity of all people.

In this episode, I talk about the rich Christian history of the Middle East before the rise of Islam. I highlight the early Christian communities, the growth of monastic movements, and the theological contributions that came from places like Egypt, Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, and North Africa. I also discuss how Islam spread through military conquest and the kinds of social and economic pressures Christians faced under Muslim rule.

Even though Christianity has declined in many of these regions over the centuries, I believe there’s a spiritual revival happening in the Muslim world today. Many are coming to faith through personal encounters, dreams, and the use of modern technology to share the gospel. My hope with this episode is to raise awareness about Christian persecution and to inspire hope for the future restoration of Christianity in the very lands where it first took root.

In this episode of the Royal Remnant Podcast, I explore the complex and often contentious issue of women’s rights in Islam. As an ex-Muslim from Tajikistan and now a follower of Christ, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply these issues affect women’s lives. I argue that Islam, both in its core teachings and historical context, is primarily designed for men and ultimately offers little long-term benefit for women.

I take a closer look at commonly cited teachings that are said to empower women, like spiritual equality, inheritance rights, financial independence, and access to education, and examine how they play out in real life. In practice, these rights often fall short of expectations.

I also shed light on the systemic challenges many Muslim women face: financial dependence, losing custody of their children after divorce, enduring polygamous marriages, experiencing domestic violence, and being treated unequally in legal matters. I share the contrast between the experiences of Muslim women in the West and those living under more conservative Muslim societies.

While I acknowledge that secular reforms and cultural shifts can help, true liberation is only possible through Jesus Christ. It’s in Him that I’ve found a vision for womanhood rooted in dignity, equality, and freedom.

In this episode of the Royal Remnant Podcast, I open up about the reasons I found Islam fundamentally problematic, things like the language barrier in prayer, the treatment of women, and the trauma my community experienced during the Civil War. At the same time, I acknowledge the beautiful cultural practices within Muslim communities, such as reverence, discipline, and a strong sense of community, that I believe Western Christians could learn from. I challenge the Western Church to return to the core values of Christianity and to live out the Gospel more fully and faithfully. I end the episode with reflections on how we, as Christians, can more effectively embody our faith and engage with the Muslim world through both truth and love.

In this episode, I talk about the pervasive and often under-reported issue of Christian persecution. As an ex-Muslim turned Christian, this topic is deeply personal to me. I explore the spiritual, political, and cultural forces that fuel hostility against Christians today. I begin by sharing the tragic story of a bombing at a Greek Orthodox church in Damascus, Syria—a heartbreaking example of the ongoing violence believers face in the Middle East. Throughout the episode, I provide both historical context and current realities of persecution, highlighting the challenges Christians encounter in both the East and the West. I also talk about the biblical expectation of persecution, the drastic decline of Christian communities in conflict zones, and the role of global politics in shaping these outcomes. My goal is to call the global church to respond with compassion and clarity—through prayer, education, and tangible support. At the same time, I advocate for a balanced view that separates the actions of extremists from the broader Muslim population. I close by encouraging you to live out your faith with boldness and compassion, even when it’s costly.
