Join the Optimistic Muslim, Dr. David Liepert, author of Muslim, Christian AND Jew: Finding a Path to Peace Our Faiths Can Share, as he talks with Christian Evangelical Missionary to Muslims Carl Medearis (http://www.carlmedearis.com/), author of Muslims, Christians, and Jesus, about how Muslims and Christians can both share the world our God has Made--and share Jesus together--in peace! Just who Jesus was exactly remains the great religious dividing line between Muslims, Christians and Jews; with most Christians believing him both God and Messiah, most Muslims believing him to be the Messiah but not God, and most Jews believing he's neither.  However, most Muslims and Christians can at least agree that he'll lead us all when he returns as we near the end of time--even though we have absolutely no idea how we're going to get there! So the question remains: How can Muslims and Christians best navigate the doctrinal minefield of our religious differences, deal with how our different beliefs should affect what we are becoming, and how our different doctrines affect what we do? "I wrote [my] book as an Evangelical Christian to Evangelical Christians to say 'Let's stop evangelizing," says Carl Medearis of his book, Muslims, Christians, and Jesus.  His recent article on CNN, "My Take: Why Evangelicals Should Stop Evangelizing," (http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/07/24/my-take-why-evangelicals-should-stop-evangelizing-2/?iref=allsearch) caused quite a stir, instantly becoming one of the most commented upon articles CNN online has ever had!  Medearis explains the reasoning behind his controversial stance, and gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the article that rocked the world toward the end of July. What if there was an end to the "my religion can beat up your religion" attitude?  What if hearing the "Good News" no longer caused feelings of anger and resentment?  Can we get past the view of Jesus as a "white Rambo from Texas?" Take a moment out of your day to calmly listen to this week's episode.  You may be pleasantly surprised by what you hear!
