From the “Great Satan” to Amazing Grace | An Iranian Woman’s Journey from Islam to Jesus
from The Faith of the Father(s) w/ Karl Gessler · host Karl Gessler / Naghmeh Panahi
Send us Fan MailNaghmeh grew up in an Iran that no longer exists.Her early childhood unfolded in a relatively open, Western-influenced nation—until war erupted, followed by a violent Islamic revolution that reshaped everything overnight. What was once familiar became dangerous. What was once hopeful became oppressive.Her father initially believed that Islam’s growing influence would strengthen Iran. When the reality set in, he knew he was wrong—and made the difficult decision to flee. Soon, the family found themselves seeking refuge in the very country Naghmeh had been taught to fear: the United States of America, “the Great Satan.”But the upheaval didn’t stop there.As Naghmeh tried to make sense of her new world, her brother came home carrying a secret—news so explosive it fractured the family and deeply strained her relationship with her parents. It was a change that was sweeping across America at the time… and is now sweeping across Iran.A change that brings hope instead of fear. Truth instead of propaganda. Life instead of control.What began as division ultimately became transformation—one that would eventually touch her entire family and lead Naghmeh back to the very land she once fled, carrying a message radically different from the one she was raised with.This episode is a story of revolution, exile, faith, and redemption—and a reminder that God is moving powerfully in places many believe are unreachable.❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ Email me: https://www.karlgessler.com/contact➡️ DONATE ➡️ Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgesslerfamilybandhttps://www.patreon.com/karlgesslerhttps://cash.app/$KarlgesslerSocial Media➡️Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089357625739➡️Telegram - https://t.me/FaithoftheFathers➡️Truth Social - https://truthsocial.com/@UCLOvq6O4aIXLrkKxwXkq3uA#Bibleteaching #deliveranceministry #demons #Christianity #DiscipleshipSupport the show❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ Email me: https://www.karlgessler.com/deliverance➡️ DONATE ➡️ Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgessle... / karlgessler ...
