Fear is a constant undercurrent in our world—shaped by headlines, trauma, uncertainty, and internal battles. In this refreshing and hope-filled conversation, Elliot sits down with Tomorrow Needs You author and Mosaic Church pastor Naeem Fazal. Together, they explore how to walk with God through trauma, find growth after hardship, and uncover beauty and strength on the other side of fear. Naeem shares his powerful conversion story from Islam to Christianity, his journey as a church planter, and practical insights on moving forward with faith when life feels overwhelming.
Naeem Fazal is the founding pastor of Mosaic Church in Charlotte, North Carolina—a vibrant, multiethnic, multigenerational church. Born and raised in Kuwait in a Muslim home, Naeem experienced a powerful supernatural conversion to Christianity shortly after moving to the United States. He’s the author of Ex-Muslim and his newest book Tomorrow Needs You, a compelling invitation to move from fear to faith. Naeem speaks globally on topics of hope, healing, and cultural connection.
