Lost Souls, Seeking Muslims, and Responding to Tragedy! - Episode #13 Summary of the episode: In this episode of The E.A.R. Podcast, host Brandon Queen sits down with Timothy Harris to explore chapters 36-38 of Loving Your Muslim Neighbor. These chapters dive deep into the heart of Christian outreach to the Muslim community, highlighting the importance of genuine love and care for lost souls, understanding secret Muslim seekers, and responding to terrorist attacks with grace and compassion. The first segment discusses how being overly forceful in evangelism can push people away. Timothy emphasizes the importance of meeting people with grace and compassion, just as Jesus did with the woman caught in adultery. In the second segment, they dive into how Christians can reflect Christ’s love through respect and humility and explore the complexities of addressing difficult political topics like the Israeli/Palestinian conflict with compassion. Lastly, the episode tackles the challenge of staying bold in sharing the gospel, with Timothy urging Christians to resist the temptation to remain silent about their faith out of fear of offending others. This episode provides a thought-provoking and compassionate look at evangelism. It encourages listeners to approach Muslim outreach with deep love, biblical truth, and grace in all circumstances. Meet the Guest: Timothy and Miriam speak in churches everywhere to educate, equip, and energize Christians to gain God’s heart for Muslim people and to love them. Key Takeaways: · Caring for the Lost: Drawing from the chapter "You Are Sad Over a Lost Game Than a Lost Soul!" Brandon and Timothy reflect on the biblical call to grieve for those who don’t know Jesus. They discuss passages like Luke 19:41 and Romans 9:1-3, emphasizing how Jesus’ sorrow over Jerusalem reflects God’s heart for the lost today. · Many Muslims Are Secretly Seeking: Timothy sheds light on the hidden reality of Muslim seekers who are curious about Christianity but hesitant to express it publicly. The conversation centers around practical ways Christians can offer a safe space for these seekers and how Jesus' encounter with Nicodemus (John 3:1-2) can guide us in these delicate situations. · Responding to Terrorist Attacks: In a world shaken by violence, the chapter "When a Terrorist Attack Happens, How Do You Respond to the News?" urges Christians to embody love even in the face of terror. Brandon and Timothy challenge listeners to follow Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5:44-45, praying for enemies and loving our Muslim neighbors even when tensions are high.

Welcome back to the Ear Podcast. I'm your host, Brandon Queen. And today we have our special guest returning back to the show. Please welcome Timothy Harris. He is the author of Loving Your Muslim Neighbor. Timothy, as always, it is such a blessing and an honor to have you back with us as we dive into the next couple of chapters of your book.
And for the listeners, if you have a copy of this book, it is chapters 36 through 38. These titles are a real eye-opener. And the titles of these chapters are you are sad over a lost game than a lost soul. Many Muslims are secretly seeking. And when a terrorist attack happens, how do you respond to the news? So, Timothy, thank you so much for being here with us.
And as always, we're doing this episode at such a hot political time. So thank you, brother, for joining us with this episode.
It's the honor is totally all mine, brother. Thank you for having me again.
Oh, such a blessing. All right. Let's get ahead and dive on into this thing. So we're going to start with segment one and the title of this chapter is chapter 36. You are sad over a lost game than a lost soul. This is such a convincing and convicting title. We get so caught up in temporary things of life like sports or entertainment. But when it comes to a lost soul, where is the urgency?
So let me ask you this, Tim. How much do we as Christians really care about lost people? Are we in touch with the heart of our father in heaven and with Jesus when it comes to those that are lost?
