Why Muslims Are Leaving Islam for Christ...

MATT FRADD
About this episode

In this interview, Matt sits down with David Wood, an evangelical apologist who focuses his efforts on exposing the truth about Islam. The conversation touches on David's start as an apologist, his friendship with Nabeel Qureshi (who authored the book "Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus), what it was like in the early days on YouTube, receiving death threats from Muslims, why Muslims are leaving Islam and becoming Christian, David's journey from atheism to Christianity, and much more.
