EPISODE 25 When Muslims say "Jesus is not the Son of God!"

If you have Muslim friends, you already know this conversation. You turn things spiritual, and it goes the same way almost every time — the same objections, rapid fire, with total conviction. And usually, it ends in an argument instead of a real conversation.

In this episode, I'm answering the question I get asked most: how do you talk with a Muslim friend without it turning into a fight? I'm pulling back the curtain on a lesson straight from my Inviting Muslims to Follow Jesus course, where I walk through exactly how I sidestep the biggest objections in those early conversations, and then how I answer one objection in particular: "Jesus is not the Son of God."

What you'll hear in this episode:

✔️ Four things I do in the first conversations with Muslim friends to keep us from ending up in a boxing match instead of a real conversation.

✔️ The six most common objections Muslims raise with Christians, and why I don't argue with all of them right away.

✔️ Exactly what I say when a friend tells me Jesus is not the Son of God, including the Arabic framework and the "adopted into the family" picture that tends to open the door instead of closing it.

✔️ Why the phrase "Son of God" means something completely different to a Muslim than it does to us, and how saying it the wrong way can shut a conversation down fast.

✔️ A practice moment for you to try answering the question yourself.
