Naeem Fazal is the founding pastor of Mosaic Church in Charlotte, NC. He was born and raised as a Muslim in Kuwait and came to the United States in 1990, shortly after the Gulf War. In 1992, Naeem had a supernatural experience with Christ that changed the course of his life forever.
In this last episode of the Ex-Muslim season, Naeem talks about the juxtaposition of trying to fit in while also trying to be unique. As a Muslim, new to a mostly Christian country, Naeem's goal was just to not stand out. His personality, however, did not allow him to blend in and he found himself belonging to a new tribe.
"There's beauty in uniqueness but comfort in sameness."

Chances are, you live among or have relationships with Muslims. Naeem will answer common questions on what to say, what not to say and how to interact with people in your life who worship a different god. From his own experience, Naeem does not recommend litetrally throwing your Bible at someone as proof but he does offer talking points that will be better received.

As a follow-up to the last episode "Your Story Matters," Naeem helps us to see how our stories started long before we think they do...and why you might be in a murder mystery.
