Dr. Todd Ahrend delivers a thought-provoking comparison between Christianity and major world religions, demonstrating the fundamental uniqueness of Jesus Christ among religious founders and belief systems. Through engaging stories and clear explanations, he dismantles the popular notion that all religions teach essentially the same truths while revealing the distinctiveness of Christianity's message, founder, and holy book.

• Islam focuses on submission to Allah with salvation through the Five Pillars, explicitly rejecting Christ's divinity and crucifixion
• Hinduism centers on escaping karma and the wheel of suffering through devotion to various gods
• Buddhism identifies desire as the root of suffering, seeking nirvana (annihilation) through the Eightfold Path
• Confucianism addresses social harmony through education rather than spiritual reconciliation
• Christianity uniquely offers grace rather than works, forgiveness of sins, and a resurrected founder
• Jesus alone claimed divinity, forgave sins, performed miracles to validate his authority, and conquered death
• While other religious founders' graves can be visited, Jesus' tomb remains empty
• The Bible stands unparalleled in its coherence despite being written across 1,500 years by 40 authors in 3 languages

Chris Clayman, CEO of Joshua Project, shares the surprising journey from the organization's humble beginnings to becoming the definitive resource for tracking unreached people groups worldwide.

• Modern challenges include tracking diaspora communities and leveraging technology for global access
• Joshua Project is expanding from 5 to 30 staff across 15-20 countries with plans for internationalization
• Technological upgrades are needed to make data accessible in multiple languages
• Anyone can contribute updates by emailing info@joshuaproject.net or using the website submission forms
