In an era where high-stakes theological debates have migrated from the quiet halls of ivory towers to the chaotic sidewalks of university campuses and the 60-second scrolls of TikTok, a new kind of defender has emerged. He doesn’t just hold a PhD; he holds a microphone on a street corner. In a recent deep-dive conversation with Lecrae, Avery—known to millions as GodLogic—shared the blueprint he uses to dismantle high-level objections without losing his “street” sensibilities.

When engaging in interfaith dialogue, we often hear that Islam and Christianity simply have different views on Jesus. But a closer look at history reveals something far more intentional. The Gospels were written in the first century, establishing the identity of Jesus Christ through eyewitness testimony. The Quran arrived six centuries later.
The internet is littered with the digital wreckage of religious debates. What often starts as a discussion (Muhammad in the Bible) about faith quickly devolves into a shouting match of disconnected proof-texts and personal attacks.
