  • I binge listened!!!

    So inspiring, eye opening, and revelatory.

    I was spurred on by each episode. I learned so much on the history and the current state of the Church in Iran. I was so blessed by the simple but profound practices of the church in Iran and how God has moved to grow the Church through these simple sacrificial acts of faith.

    I loved it, and I binge listened to all episodes(except the chai time episodes)that they have out from over years of episodes in just about 2 months.

    Such a gift to have... more

  • Jesus is Alive

    This podcast, with first hand testimonies from the Iran region, reminds me that Jesus is still showing himself alive today all over the world. It is beautiful to see him through someone else’s eyes for the first time all over again.
