From A Stranger To A Stranger: Recent Episodes
Isa Martell
“Islam began as something strange and it will return to being strange, so blessed are the strangers.”
That is the saying that many Muslims use to apply to themselves. But are we truly strangers to this world?
This podcast is my personal perspective on life when viewed through the Islamic lens of a Western Convert.
I talk a lot about concepts of death, spirituality, differences in religious ideologies and how that all blends into walking through modern day life.
Along the way, we may run into swords, armor, movies, culture and the like.
