I took it very seriously – I wrote all of my sermons myself – and was well received. Ideally, the Friday sermon should be very inspiring and an immediate boost to the faith of the congregants meant to encourage and sustain them for the entire week.

MuslimMan™My #BruceLeeMomentIn today's episode... I fly solo for the first time and tell you how Bruce Lee's philosophy helped me manifest my Islam more honestly and authentically. When it comes to self-improvement in our time Bruce Lee is the most famous example and most likely the gold standard, even though he died over 40 years ago.

MuslimMan™A Music Lover's Struggle to Stay True to Islam with Irshad AzeezHow do we engage Muslims who aren’t as far along the spiritual path as we are? As someone who was Muslim in name alone for most of my life, it’s surprisingly easy to forget where I started and how far I’ve actually come. Imagine how much harder it is for Muslims who know nothing but a proper adherence to Islam. I want to understand how the "non-practicing" and “not-so-practicing” Muslim think, what their views are of the World, and what keeps them away from achieving their potential as a Muslims. One...2017-01-1859 min

MuslimMan™Engineering the Warrior Monk with Ed LatimoreHave you ever played role-playing games (RPGs,) on table-top or video? Games like Diablo, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and others allow you to create and customize characters that improve as you play through the story. The characters have different archetypes and abilities. There are warriors, mages, rogues, archers, etc. One of those archetypes is the 'warrior monk' or 'fighting monk,' loosely based on Shaolin monks. His character backstory is one of asceticism, stoicism, constant improvement, deep study, internal and external harmony. He fights unarmored with his bare hands an...2016-10-141h 52

My first sit-down was with two the co-founders, Irshad and Feras. We talked about a prepping for Ramadan and a bunch of other things. Some of the discussion didn't make it into the final cut. It was quality material nonetheless, so I asked them to put it together for me. That's what you'll be hearing in this episode. We talk...2016-09-0245 min
