• Breaking Barriers - Tough Questions on Islam with Imam, Adam Kelwick

  In this episode of The New Mind Podcast, I sit down with Adam Kelwick, a British Muslim Imam and humanitarian aid worker known for his efforts in representing the British Muslim community, inter-faith work and his tireless advocacy for the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.This conversation wasn’t about controversy or debate - it was about curiosity. I wanted to approach the topics surrounding Islam with openness, allowing space for understanding rather than assumption. Adam was incredibly kind, patient, and generous in sharing his insights, offering a perspective rooted in both lived experience and deep compassion.There are subjects that, for many, evoke strong opinions or preconceptions. Instead of shying away from them, I aimed to explore them with a genuine desire to listen and learn. This is not a clickbait episode…it’s a space for thoughtful dialogue, an opportunity to step beyond what we think we know and into a conversation that is human, honest, and deeply relevant.Subscribe to The New Mind podcast for more uplifting and insightful conversations that explore the depths of mental health, personal growth, and inspiring stories of individuals making a difference in the world.Thank youConnect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellamccrystal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ellamccrystalhypno   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ella_mccrystalWeb: https://www.ellamccrystal.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EllaMcCrystalConnect with Adam: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamkelwickFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/adam.kelwickX: https://x.com/adamkelwick?lang=en
