🎤🌙 I'll Be Speaking in Orange County, Sacramento, and Chicago THIS WEEKEND and would love to see you there!

I'd love to see you face to face! Please join us on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday! Details below, OK?

Hey Family! I’m doing three live events this weekend—three nights in three cities—and I want to see you there.

I genuinely believe a lot of us are exhausted in a way we don’t even have language for anymore. Exhausted from the news. Exhausted from being misunderstood. Exhausted from trying to do good while staying sane. Exhausted from living in a world where genocide can stream in 4K and people still find a way to shrug.

And if I’m honest, exhausted from the pressure to look like we’re okay when we’re not.

This weekend is called Unfiltered for a reason.

It’s an honest evening about faith, responsibility, and what it means to live with purpose in a difficult world. It’s about returning to Allah while still being visible—while still speaking out—while still trying to live with courage and sincerity in public. It’s about fighting against genocide and oppression and fighting for justice in every way we know how.

Because a lot of us are trying to do both at once:
To stay rooted and still show up.
To keep our hearts soft without getting swallowed by despair.
To resist performative anything—performative activism, performative faith, performative outrage—while still doing the real work.

That’s what this night is.

What we’re talking about (for real): the tension between activism and spirituality, the risks of turning faith into a brand, the pressure and scrutiny Muslims live with in the West, and the quiet, stubborn need to come back to sincerity when everything is screaming for attention.

And I need to tell you plainly: Muslims and non-Muslims are welcome.
If you’re curious, searching, supportive, skeptical-but-open, or just trying to understand your Muslim neighbors and friends better—come. If you’ve been hurt by religion but still feel that pull toward God—come. If you’re a Muslim who’s been carrying too much alone—come.

I’ll be there with Ousama Alshurafa, and I mean what I’m about to say: Ousama is one of my favorite speakers in the world. He’s a dear Palestinian brother, he’s brilliant, and he has a rare gift—he can talk about matters of faith in a way that feels like someone just turned on the lights in your heart and soul. He doesn’t entertain you. He awakens you.

And I don’t say that lightly.

Sometimes you hear a speaker and you feel inspired for an hour.
Sometimes you hear a speaker and you feel like you should repost a quote.

But every once in a while, you sit with somebody whose words make you go home and change something—in your prayers, in your habits, in your sincerity, in the way you carry responsibility.

That’s Ousama.

Here are the dates:

• February 6th — Orange County

• February 7th — Sacramento

• February 8th — Chicago

Tickets are limited, and if you want to come, don’t wait until the last minute.
👉 Book your tickets here

If you’ve been feeling spiritually numb… come.
If you’ve been trying to “stay strong” but you’re actually just depleted… come.
If you’ve been doing the work publicly but your private heart needs attention… come.
If you want to be in a room where we can tell the truth, laugh a little, maybe cry a little, and leave with something real… come.

And bring somebody with you. Seriously. Bring a friend who needs a reset. Bring a spouse. Bring a college student who’s trying to figure out what faith looks like in the real world. Bring your non-Muslim neighbor who’s been asking thoughtful questions but doesn’t know where to start.

This weekend, we’re doing it without the filters.

Love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun
