    When Death Becomes Therapy: The Case Against Physician-Assisted Death | Ep 115
    9 Nov 2026
    When does medicine cross the line from caring for the dying to causing death? Dr. Ewan Goligher joins All Rise to discuss the rapid expansion of physician-assisted death, what Canada's experience can teach us, and the troubling idea of death becoming a form of therapy. Drawing from his book, How Should We Then Die? A Christian Response to Physician-Assisted Death, Goligher talks about suffering, autonomy, medical conscience, the difference between allowing someone to die and deliberately causing death, and why human worth does not disappear when health, independence, or usefulness does.

  • The Hidden Cost of Living Through Machines | Ep 113

    The Hidden Cost of Living Through Machines | Ep 113
    12 Oct 2026
    In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell sit down with Joshua Pauling, coauthor of Are We All Cyborgs Now?, to explore a deeper question about technology: are our devices merely tools, or are they actually training us to think, learn, relate, and live in particular ways? The conversation explores the hidden worldview of technology, the dangers of a frictionless digital life, AI and transhumanism, the importance of embodiment, and what the Amish and Luddites can teach us about using technology without being shaped by it. They also discuss practical ways to reclaim attention, community, creativity, and real-world life.

    What 9/11 Revealed about America, Islam, and God | Ep 112
    10 Sep 2026
    In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11 with Michael Davis and Karl "KJ" Johnson. Each guest brings a different perspective: Abdu was a recent convert from Islam at the time, Derek and Michael were atheists, Michael later joined the military because of 9/11, and KJ was already serving when the attacks happened. Together, they reflect on where they were, how America changed, what 9/11 revealed about evil, Islam, patriotism, public trust, and how their faith now shapes the way they look back.

  • Why "It's a Human" Isn't Enough for the Pro-Life Movement Anymore | Ep 110

    Why "It's a Human" Isn't Enough for the Pro-Life Movement Anymore | Ep 110
    24 Aug 2026
    In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell sit down with Jacob Vazquez to discuss his new book, Sacred or Secular: The Pro-Life Case for Grounding Human Values. Jacob shares why the pro-life issue is deeply personal for him, how science points to the humanity of the unborn, and why the abortion debate ultimately goes beyond biology into the deeper question of what makes human beings valuable in the first place. The conversation also explores the image of God, secular pro-life arguments, common biblical objections, and why Christians need to think about abortion as more than a political issue.

    Wikipedia's Co-Founder Says Truth Is in Trouble | Ep 109
    10 Aug 2026
    In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell sit down with Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger to discuss his journey from skepticism back to Christianity. Larry shares how hard questions, philosophy, fatherhood, and the cumulative case for Christianity led him to faith—and why that same pursuit of truth shaped his original vision for Wikipedia. The conversation also explores what he believes went wrong with the platform, why neutrality matters, and the story behind his recent ban from the site he helped create. #LarrySanger #Wikipedia #ConversionStory #Skepticism #Truth #philosophy Learn about Abdu's urgent new book, Fake ID: How AI and Identity Ideology Are Collapsing Reality—And What to Do About It (David C Cook, 2026) at https://realitycollapsebook.com/.

    27 Jul 2026
    In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell respond to Abdu's recent debate with atheist Dan Barker on purpose, meaning, morality, and ultimately whether life's purpose is found or made.
