Jesus Speaks Farsi

In today's episode, we'll be talking with Bahar. As a woman born and raised in Iran, Bahar always sensed that the way women were treated in her culture wasn’t right or how things were meant to be. She was told to be quiet, to never laugh and to stay in her place. In this episode, we’ll hear how she ended up finding her place in the story God is writing for women in Iran...

Today’s episode is the first in our second podcast series - “Women in Iran.” In this series, we’ll hear from three women about their extraordinary journeys to the Christian faith while living in a culture that systematically oppresses women.

Mojdeh, our first guest was born in Iran and raised in a Christian home before the 1979 revolution in Iran. She’ll be sharing how this event has significantly affected women in her culture...

In this bonus episode, Jen will be joined by fellow podcast teammate Moread who handles the design and publishing for Jesus Speaks Farsi.
We love having Moread on the team for his insight and first-hand experience of Persian culture. Born and raised in Iran, he left the country as an adult and has since become a follower of Jesus. Today, Moread is passionate about sharing the story of what God is doing in his beloved homeland...

In this final episode of the Persecution series, Joe, Dara Lynn and Jen sit down over a cup of chai to talk through the stories we’ve shared in this series...

We’ll be checking back in with Farshid from our first episode ( One Year in Solitary - Persecution E1 ) in this series to hear what life was like in prison after leaving solitary confinement. The majority of the 120 leaders arrested along with Farshid, like Ladan and Anahita, had been released from prison, and many had even left Iran. Farshid, however, would go on to spend another four years behind bars...

In this episode, Dara Lynn talks with Anahita, a senior leader within Iran’s house church movement. We’ll hear how only a few months into her marriage, she and her husband Matthew were both arrested for their involvement in church planting. She’ll also share the fascinating story of their escape from Iran over the mountains.
