Why did Apostate Prophet leave Islam—and why did he eventually become Christian? In this episode of Theological, Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Ridvan Aydemir, known online as Apostate Prophet, for a direct conversation about Islam, the Quran, Muhammad, Jesus, Judaism, Christianity, antisemitism, terrorism, and Ridvan’s personal journey from Islam to atheism to Christianity. Ridvan explains why reading the Quran in a language he understood became a turning point in his life. He argues that the Quran makes claims about the natural world, Judaism, Christianity, Jesus, and Muhammad that he no longer believes can be reconciled with truth. Shabbos presses him on whether Islam still teaches valuable practices like prayer, charity,…

What happens when someone who was on their way to becoming a Catholic priest walks away from God entirely? In this episode of Theological, host Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Cade Bradley — a self-proclaimed atheist, former devout Catholic, and one-time aspiring seminary student — for one of the most honest, nuanced, and thought-provoking conversations the show has ever had. Cade didn't drift away from faith casually. He read the Summa Theologica. He attended a Catholic film college to evangelize the world. He was preparing to enter a cloistered monastery.

In this excerpt from Theological with Shabbos Kestenbaum, Dr. Stephen Meyer, philosopher of science and author of Return of the God Hypothesis, flips the question entirely: every worldview—whether theist or atheist—requires an uncaused starting point.

And when you look at what modern physics and cosmology are telling us about the origin of the universe, one answer holds up far better than the other.
