Season 6: Episode 14: Iran: A Growing Church in a Time of Turmoil

Christians in Iran are facing escalating danger and uncertainty following recent Israeli-American military strikes that killed the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. While the current conflict has intensified instability, persecution against followers of Jesus in Iran is far from new. For the past 47 years – since the rise of the radical Islamic regime – Christians, especially those from Muslim backgrounds, have endured systemic repression. In this episode, podcast host Greg Musselman is joined by Ed Saleh, Executive Director of ICNET TV, a ministry reaching millions of Iranians with the Gospel message. Originally from Iran and now living in Canada, Ed shares insights from believers on the ground, offering a rare look at how Christians are responding to the crisis, why the church continues to grow despite severe persecution, and how we can stand in prayer with our Iranian brothers and sisters in Christ.
