Customer Reviews
Promises more than it delivers.
This podcast has so much potential for helpful content towards meaningful engagement between Christian’s and Muslims. With huge evangelistic efforts needed as Islam increases its own programs of conversion in the 21st century, we need podcasts like this.
However, the ridiculous name ‘zombie apocalypse’ seemingly typifies the lack of credibility this show possesses. Please, for all our sakes, fix the errors, do some serious scholarship and journalism, lift this out of the goofball genre and pay some respect to the significance of the holy task of evangelism of Muslims for the glory of Gods in Christ.
Wake up, Please.
