A Conversation Between an Ex-Christian & Ex-Muslim Apologist (Joshua Tongol & Farhan Qures
What is up, peeps! Let me start off by saying that I find it so interesting to see where life has unexpectedly taken me. And well, as a reminder, here’s a new interview I did with Farhan Qureshi, a former Muslim apologist, where I talk about my spiritual journey. The cool thing is, although we both came from different religious traditions, we definitely share a lot in common. Topics discussed: -religious exclusivity
-hell (eternal conscious torment)
-faith healing

How The Bible Can Be Dangerous (And Why Many Christians Don’t See It) | Audiobook
Here’s a free chapter on “The Bible” from my audiobook So You Thought You Knew. I started reading the Bible at a very young age. I was told what to think about it and also what to assume about it as well. This book has helped me in so many different ways as I was growing up. But to be honest, there were some things I didn’t understand. So what did I do? I kept many of my inner thoughts/questions to myself. But everything changed once I began to question it out loud. This is m

A Message to All Christians – Don’t Be Afraid to Do This (MUST WATCH!!)
My name is Joshua Tongol. I was raised a Christian. For years I believed whatever I was taught by pastors, preachers and teachers. I was told what to believe, how to think, and how to live.

God, to me, seemed somewhat schizophrenic. I had no

“No One Has the Truth! Everything’s Relative!” (Let’s Talk About It)
