  • The UFO Question Christians Need to Take Seriously | Ep 104
    May 25 2026
    In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell sit down with Scott Symington to discuss one of the strangest and most culturally explosive topics of our time: UFOs, aliens, and the growing belief that disclosure could challenge Christianity itself. Are UFOs evidence of extraterrestrial life? Do aliens undermine the Bible? And what should Christians make of the increasing number of reports surrounding unexplained aerial phenomena? The conversation explores the scientific probability of intelligent alien life, the physical challenges of interstellar travel, the history of UFO encounters, and why some researchers have begun considering an interdimensional—not extraterrestrial—explanation for the phenomenon.

  • Dr. Carrie Gress Reveals What Feminism Got Wrong About Womanhood | Ep 103
    May 18 2026
    In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell sit down with Dr. Carrie Gress to discuss one of the most influential—and controversial—forces in modern culture: feminism. Drawing from her book Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can't Be Fused with Christianity, Carrie explores the historical roots of feminism, its vision of men and women, and why she believes its promises have ultimately left many people more isolated, confused, and unhappy. The conversation also touches on motherhood, the sexual revolution, identity, the surprising relationship between feminism and the occult, and why Christianity historically offered a radically different vision for women. Carrie Gress, Ph.D., is a scholar at the Institute for Human Ecology at Catholic University of America. She is the founder and editor at the online women's magazine TheologyofHome.com and the author of ten books, including the Theology of Home series, The Anti-Mary Exposed, and The End of Woman: How Smashing the Patriarchy Has Destroyed Us. She is with us today to discuss her intriguing new book, Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can't Be Fused with Christianity (Sophia Institute Press, 2026). The latter can be purchased at https://a.co/d/08G6BS8j.

  • University Students Question the Credibility of Christianity LIVE | Ep 102
    May 4 2026
    In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray takes on a series of challenging questions from students at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. Can the Bible really be trusted if it's been changed?

  • Does Christianity Make Sense Any More? AI, Polygamy, Suffering, and More | Ep 101
    Apr 20 2026
    In this episode of All Rise with Abdu Murray, Abdu takes live questions from students at Laurentian University in Sudbury, ON, Canada—and nothing is off the table. From artificial intelligence and transhumanism to suffering, free will, and faith, students wrestle honestly with some of the most challenging questions facing Christianity today. Why does human suffering feel so unfair? Does belief in miracles require abandoning reason? How can Jesus' death 2,000 years ago possibly matter now? Abdu also addresses difficult and often controversial topics—including polygamy in the Bible, LGBTQ inclusion, the uniqueness of Jesus among world religions, and whether evil and tragedy undermine belief in God. Along the way, we explore how faith, reason, and lived experience intersect in a world shaped by technology, doubt, and deep moral questions.

  • She Fought "Disinformation" Until the Story Stopped Adding Up | Ep 100
    Apr 6 2026
    In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell sit down with Sabrina Joy Stevens to explore what happens when the systems designed to combat "disinformation" begin to lose their grip on truth. As a former insider in the anti-disinformation world, Sabrina shares her journey from activist to critic—and why the narrative she once defended eventually stopped adding up. Along the way, we examine the rise of institutional groupthink, the pressure to conform, and what it means to pursue truth when it comes at a personal cost.

  • Why the Modern World Stopped Seeing Miracles (Viewer Questions) | Ep 99
    Mar 16 2026
    In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell respond to viewer questions about miracles and free will. First, why don't we seem to see miracles today the way we do in the Bible—and is modern skepticism really as rational as it claims? Then we turn to another perennial question: do human beings truly have free will, or are our choices determined?

  • Is It Fair to Be Born Fallen and Then Judged? (Viewer Questions) | Ep 98
    Mar 2 2026
    In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell confront one of the most difficult questions about hell: is it fair? If we didn't ask to be born—and if we enter a fallen world where sin is inevitable—how can eternal judgment be just? Rather than repeating familiar answers, we examine the tension between biblical texts that seem to support everything from "double predestination" to "universalism" and everything in between to help make sense of the biblical portrayal of hope. 🎙️ All Rise is the podcast where truth is put on trial.
