Did Christianity Create Islamic Civilization? Tracing Christianity's Impact on Islam.

In this episode, I discuss how Eastern Christianity shaped the development of Islam in ways that most people don't realize. From architecture and art to prayer, worship, and even science, I talk about how early Muslims borrowed from the Christian communities around them. I discuss the influence of Byzantine churches on mosques, the role of Nestorian Christians in preserving and translating ancient knowledge, and how monastic practices inspired Islamic prayer. I also share part of my own journey, how God called me to study Islam after I became a Christian, the pushback I faced from Muslims when I converted, and how the Lord used prophetic encounters to confirm my calling to share the Gospel with the Muslim world. For me, this isn't just about history; it's about seeing how deeply connected these two faiths really are. And when you notice those connections, it changes the way you view both Islam and Christianity. My prayer is that this episode encourages you, teaches you something new, and helps you see God's hand at work across cultures and centuries.
