Summary
My name is Brad. I originally served as a campus pastor but found myself wrestling with tough Bible questions, eventually converting to Islam. I appeared on The Deen Show, explaining how I believed that the Scriptures taught pure monotheism best represented in Islam. However, during a lengthy debate with a Christian apologist, everything shifted. We dug deep into passages such as John 5, Zechariah 12, and Revelation, examining how Jesus claimed divine titles like βthe First and the Lastβ and how the early disciplesβincluding Paulβtestified that He rose from the dead and is the Son of God. Over time, I began seeing clearly that the very claims I had once dismissed powerfully point to Jesus as Lord and Savior. In the end, I returned to the faith I once preached. I now share my story so others who grapple with doubts might also encounter the same truth that set me free.

Summary
My name is Brad, and I once served as a campus pastor. Along the way, I wrestled with difficult questions about the Bible and ended up converting to Islam, hoping it held the answers I sought. However, during an extensive discussion with a Christian apologist, I came to see that the scriptures I had once dismissed actually point powerfully to the truth of Jesus as Lord and Savior. The more I examined passages like John 5 and Zechariah 12:10, the clearer it became that Christβs divine identity was firmly rooted in the earliest Christian witness. I realized that my issues with Paul were based on a misunderstanding, and I found that the Resurrection, affirmed by eyewitnesses and serious historians, provided the cornerstone for faith in Jesus. Through prayer, study, and this transformative conversation, I returned to the very Savior Iβd once preached. Today, I proclaim that Jesus is indeed the Son of God, and I share my story so that anyone else struggling with doubts might also encounter the truth that set me free.
