Reza Aslan

Today on the pod we are joined by REZA ASLAN. Reza is an internationally renowned writer, commentator, professor, television producer, and scholar of religions. In our conversation, we discuss the ubiquity of religious thinking across time and culture and about how all religion IS a language of sorts. Reza shares about why he has found the framework of Islam most helpful in his own spiritual practice, he gives us a bit of a peek into an upcoming TV project he is involved with that aims to de-exotify Muslims and those from majority Muslim regions, and he also speaks a bit about his mixed-faith marriage. Let’s dive in. Like what you hear?

Om Podcasten

My name is Dustin Kensrue and I’ve always been fascinated by the REALLY BIG questions. I’ve spent my life as a songwriter (in Thrice and on my own) wrestling through those big questions, but now I’m starting a new phase of that exploration. I’d love for you to join me on the Carry The Fire podcast, where we dig deep into those big questions through the lens of the good, the true, and the beautiful as we speak with people from a wide variety of backgrounds, beliefs, and professions; together we will all glimpse the world anew through their unique perspectives. Carry the fire with us today!
