So, I guess I have a travel show now 😂😂😂
If you have not yet seen my first video, what I am about to show you and teach you will make even more sense if you start there, OK?
Here's the link: • The single most specia...
For the next month, my family and I are going to be in Istanbul, and I want to bring you on this journey with us.
Before I film, I try to spend several days visiting and studying a place so that I can actually come here to teach you something that you might not have seen or heard before.
I've spent much of the past three days studying and visiting the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque (also called Ayasofya) here in Istanbul. For over 1,100 years it was literally the single largest building in the world. Originally built as a church in 537 AD, it became a mosque a full 900 years later in 1453 AD.
Today, I want to take you inside the mosque with me. Only Muslims are allowed on to the floor and it's a very special, but complicated place.
Even more than that, I want to talk to you about the promises of Allah and how they apply to the horrific genocide in Gaza right now.
I can't believe it, but for the first time in my life, I cried on camera. I tried so hard not to, but between reflecting on Gaza, and what I truly think Allah is commanding us to do, I was overcome with emotion. Please forgive me.
Love and appreciate you all.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun
