Raised during the aftermath of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, Ali Siadatan was indoctrinated as a child into radical Islamic ideology—trained to chant “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” surrounded by propaganda, fear, and martyrdom culture. By the age of 11, he wanted to give his life as a jihadist.

But God had a very different plan.

In this deeply personal conversation, Ali shares his extraordinary journey from growing up under Islamic extremism in Iran, to questioning faith through atheism and philosophy in Europe, to a life-altering encounter with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. This interview offers rare insight into Islam, the Iranian Revolution, Biblical prophecy, and the Middle East—through the eyes of someone who lived it and was radically transformed by Jesus!

Hear Ali Share:

What indoctrination in the Iranian school system really looked like

How propaganda targeted children during the Iran–Iraq war

His supernatural encounter with the Holy Spirit after praying to receive Jesus

Why antisemitism is not just political—but spiritual

The biblical and prophetic connection between Iran (Persia), Israel, and the nations

Why God is moving powerfully among Iranians today

What is really happening inside Iran right now?

As protests erupt across the nation and fear begins to loosen its grip, something far deeper is unfolding beneath the headlines—a historic spiritual awakening. In this powerful conversation, Hormoz Shariat, President and Founder of Iran Alive Ministries (often called the Billy Graham of Iran), reveals why millions of Iranians are rejecting Islam, losing fear of the regime, and turning to Jesus in unprecedented numbers.

Born and raised Muslim in Iran, Hormoz shares firsthand insight into:

Why this uprising is different from past protests

How Islam is being openly rejected across Iranian society

The explosive growth of the underground Christian church

Why young Iranians are embracing hope, freedom, and faith

Prophetic scriptures pointing to Iran’s future

Miraculous stories of dreams, visions, and lives transformed

How Christians inside Iran are responding with courage, prayer, and action

From Qur’ans discarded in the streets to secret house churches worshiping in silence, this episode offers a rare and sobering look at a nation at a spiritual and political crossroads—and the extraordinary ways God is moving behind closed doors.

In Episode 3 of I Found the Truth: Rewind, we revisit four powerful former Muslim testimonies from Iran, Somalia, and Iraq—stories of men and women who courageously left Islam and found hope in Jesus.

Afshin, Osman, Shamso, Ahmed, and Mohammed share honest, emotional accounts of the moment their doubts began, the questions they wrestled with, and the encounters with God that ultimately led them to leave Islam and become Christians. Their journeys reveal the hidden realities many Muslims face: family rejection, honor-shame pressure, fear of hell, the treatment of women in Islam, and the deep spiritual emptiness that rituals and rules could never fill.

Guided by Brother Rachid, a well-known former Muslim who became a Christian, this episode dives deep into the cost of following Jesus in the Muslim world and the life-changing freedom found in the gospel.

In this episode, we explore themes like:

Why Muslims leave Islam

The cost of following Jesus for Muslim-background believers

Honor, shame & family pressure in Muslim cultures

Treatment of women in Islam vs. treatment of women in Christianity

Fear of hell and assurance of salvation

Encountering God’s love and grace

These aren’t just stories—they are powerful reminders that God is moving among Muslims, opening hearts, healing wounds, and changing lives in ways only He can.

If you're searching for Muslim-to-Christian conversion stories, wondering why Muslims are choosing to follow Jesus or simply looking for powerful testimonies of faith, this episode will deeply encourage you!

In this powerful episode of No Longer Nomads, Josh sits down with Zach Duke (better known as "World Cup Dad") to unpack one of the most unbelievable stories we've ever featured. After years of chronic illness, depression, lost discipline, and feeling far from the man he knew God had called him to be, Zach found himself at a breaking point in a coffee shop. What happened next changed everything.

With no soccer background, no elite training, and nearly 40 extra pounds on his frame, Zach felt God call him to pursue an impossible goal: play in a World Cup. What followed was a journey of radical obedience, early mornings, relentless discipline, public accountability, miraculous opportunities, professional soccer contracts, ministry breakthroughs, and a faith that refused to quit.

This conversation is about far more than sports. It's about becoming the husband, father, and disciple God created you to be. It's about confronting fear, overcoming excuses, embracing hard work, and discovering what can happen when you fully surrender your "yes" to God.

If you've ever wondered whether God can still redeem lost years, reignite your passion, or use your life in ways you never imagined, this episode is for you.

What if the biggest spiritual deception in the Church isn’t coming from outside the Church—but from ideas hiding inside it?

In this eye-opening conversation, Josh sits down with Christian apologist and author Melissa Dougherty to uncover the surprising history behind the New Thought movement, manifestation, the Law of Attraction, prosperity teachings, and the subtle ways these ideas have woven themselves into modern Christian culture.

Melissa shares her own journey from embracing New Thought beliefs while attending church every Sunday to discovering that many of the ideas she trusted were leading her away from biblical truth. What began with a conversation with Jehovah’s Witnesses turned into a deep investigation of cults, spiritual deception, critical thinking, and the question every believer must wrestle with: How do we know what’s true?

Together, they explore the rise of manifestation culture, the connection between self-help philosophy and spiritual movements, the influence of prosperity theology, and why so many Christians unknowingly adopt beliefs that sound biblical but aren’t. Melissa also addresses one of the most challenging questions she receives: What do you do when occult practices seem to “work”?

Whether you've heard terms like "manifestation," "positive affirmations," and "Law of Attraction," or you're simply trying to develop greater discernment in a world filled with competing spiritual voices, this conversation will challenge you to think deeply, test what you believe, and cling to truth.

This is a conversation about deception, discernment, suffering, truth, and the freedom found in following Christ—not cultural spirituality.

•New Thought vs. New Age

Most people can spot lust. Most people can spot greed in someone else. But what if the most dangerous sins are the ones hiding in plain sight?

In this powerful conversation, Josh sits down with bestselling author and pastor Levi Lusko to unpack the surprising history behind the Seven Deadly Sins—and why they remain just as relevant today as they were 1,600 years ago. Together, they explore how early Christians fled into the desert to escape temptation, only to discover a terrifying truth: the real battle wasn't around them... it was within them.

From pride, envy, and wrath to greed, gluttony, and spiritual apathy, Levi reveals how these "nest sins" quietly create entire ecosystems of destruction in our hearts. You'll learn why anger can become a foothold for the enemy, how greed disguises itself as ambition, why envy is more dangerous than jealousy, and how sloth may have less to do with laziness and more to do with spiritual disengagement.

This episode is a deep dive into spiritual warfare, disordered loves, repentance, and the daily battle to keep Christ at the center of our lives. If you've ever wondered why certain struggles keep resurfacing, or how the enemy gains influence through seemingly small compromises, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

Because the goal isn't behavior modification. It's reordered love.


// In this episode //

* The surprising origin of the Seven Deadly Sins
* How "nest sins" create bigger patterns of destruction
* The connection between anger and spiritual warfare
* Why greed is one of the hardest sins to recognize
* The hidden dangers of envy and comparison
