Loving Your Muslim Neighbor

Placed For A Purpose · 2025-04-15

In this kickoff episode of our Loving Your [Fill-in-the-Blank] Neighbor series, we’re joined by Christina Martin to explore what it looks like to love our Muslim neighbors with grace, curiosity, and genuine friendship.

With over 20 years of ministry experience—including time spent living and serving in the Middle East and Singapore—Christina shares what she’s learned about building gospel-centered relationships with Muslims. From practical hospitality tips to navigating cultural differences and spiritual conversations, she helps us see that engaging with our Muslim neighbors doesn’t have to be intimidating. It starts with curiosity, humility, and a willingness to open our homes.
We talk about what to expect in cross-cultural friendships, how to avoid common mistakes, why asking thoughtful questions is key, and how even simple gestures can open the door to deeper connection. Christina also offers powerful encouragement to pray for and with our Muslim neighbors—and reminds us of the beauty of being a faithful, loving presence in their lives.
