Live & Unfiltered: A Muslim American’s Journey — Faith, Loss, and New Beginnings

In this episode of the Pursuit of Purpose podcast (What Are We Doing series), first-time in-studio guest Faris shares his personal conversion to Islam, the daily practices that changed his life, and how faith brought discipline and peace after trauma. The hosts ask candid questions about common misconceptions — terrorism, Sharia, child marriage, women’s roles, polygamy, and the relationship between Islam and Christianity — while exploring interfaith understanding, repentance, and community responsibility. The conversation emphasizes compassion, honesty, and open dialogue as the hosts and guest work to clear up misunderstandings and encourage mutual respect. #pursuitofpurpose #personalgrowth #islam #christian #faith #muslim #belief
