4 mins |John asked me a great question: how to break through the logical “wall” to reach the 5,000 Muslim students on his campus. My answer, coming from my own experience, is that we’re often trying to win the wrong argument. The primary barrier we face isn’t a syllogism; it’s a stereotype. Many Muslims are (understandably) taught to expect hostility or an argument from Christians. When we show up with genuine friendship, curiosity, and a tray of halal sweets instead of a debate script, the entire defense mechanism they’ve been trained to use becomes irrelevant. You’re not just breaking down a wall; you’re proving the wall was never really there to begin with. In this video, I share my practical approach: Why creating “safe” (non-confrontational) dialogues is the essential first step. The power of simple, human kindness (like welcoming a new mosque) to shatter their negative expectations. A question-based strategy that turns a one-way “pitch” into a two-way relationship. The one key question (“What do you think of Jesus?”) that opens the door to genuine spiritual conversation.
