We examine the rise of Islam and why Christians need biblical discernment to understand what is happening in the world around us. We talk about the origins and beliefs of Islam, persecution of Christians, and the importance of distinguishing between loving Muslim people and affirming a religion that rejects Jesus as Savior. This is not a call to fear or hostility, but to wake up, know God’s Word, pray for the persecuted Church, love our Muslim neighbors, and boldly share the good news of Jesus.
QUESTIONS
- Where might you need greater biblical discernment about the beliefs and ideas shaping the culture around you?
- How can you hold strong convictions about truth while genuinely loving people who believe differently?
- What would it look like for you to “wake up” and live more intentionally on mission with the people God has placed around you?

What is The Overflow?
Welcome to The Overflow—the bonus round of faith and real-life conversation with Brandon and Susan Thomas. Every week, they unpack the powerful insights, behind-the-scenes experiences, and personal reflections that didn’t quite fit into Sunday’s sermon.
This is where the conversation gets practical, honest, and a little bit unscripted. Whether it's an encouraging word, a deeper dive into Scripture, or a hilarious moment from their week, Brandon and Susan bring fresh perspective and spiritual fuel to keep you going.
It’s real talk, fresh takes, and full hearts.
These are the conversations too good to cut and too real to miss.
