The Tent Podcast

#063 - What Islam's own scholarship said

Every time someone quotes a troubling verse from the Quran, the answer is the same: you're taking it out of context. So I did the opposite. I read every verse in full context, with Islam's own greatest classical scholars as my guide; Ibn Kathir, Al-Tabari, Al-Qurtubi, and asked honestly: does context fix the problem or make it worse? This episode goes through the verses on violence, women, apostasy, and non-Muslims that fourteen centuries of Islamic jurisprudence built entire legal systems from. The sources are open. The conclusions are not comfortable.

#062 - How Islam began

A terrified Arab merchant ran home from a cave, told his wife he thought he was going insane or possessed by an evil spirit and that moment became the founding event of a religion now followed by 1.8 billion people. How did Islam begin?

#061 - When you don’t know what to pray for

Romans 8:26 is often quoted—but rarely understood. In this episode of The Tent Podcast, we slow down and examine what Paul actually meant when he said “the Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.” Is this about praying in tongues? Are we the ones doing the praying? Or is Paul describing something deeper about human weakness and divine help? This is a calm, careful, Scripture-driven explanation that replaces assumptions with clarity—and shows how God meets believers when they don’t even know what to pray for.

#060 - You are no longer a sinner
