Abidan Shah’s father was raised in a wealthy and very powerful Muslim family in India — a life of privilege, education, and a future already written for him…until a crisis of conscience cost him everything. Disowned by his own father and threatened with death, he walked out with nothing but the clothes on his back and found a new life in Christ.

Abidan grew up in the shadow of that courage. At seventeen, he followed an unmistakable pull toward a country he had never seen. What began as two years of Bible college became a lifelong calling — one that would carry him into conversations with people who are shaping this country’s future.

Our Favored Undertakings weaves its story together with the voices of veterans, immigrants, and everyday Americans, asking what this country actually costs — and why it’s still worth defending.
