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!

What makes someone question everything they’ve ever believed?
In this episode of I Found the Truth: Rewind, three people from Muslim backgrounds share the unexpected turns that led them to a new understanding of faith, truth, and identity.

Raised in a Shiite Muslim family in Detroit, Abdu Murray set out to prove Christianity wrong—until one passage in the Bible challenged his own assumptions.

Mike, a Christian who converted to Islam and became a devout Muslim, began to wonder why the Quran gave unique attributes to Jesus if He was only a prophet.

And Susan, from a deeply religious Iranian family, discovered a kind of peace and relationship with God she’d never known before.

Through logic, doubt, and discovery, each found themselves confronting the same question: What if truth isn’t inherited—but found?

Three journeys. Three questions. One search for truth.

In this powerful episode of No Longer Nomads, we sit down with Davey Blackburn, whose life changed forever after a tragic home invasion took the life of his pregnant wife. What followed was a journey through unimaginable grief, deep questions about God’s goodness, and ultimately—radical forgiveness and redemption.

This conversation goes beyond just a story… it’s about how God meets us in our darkest moments, how healing actually happens, and why no pain is wasted.

If you’ve ever wrestled with suffering, forgiveness, or whether God is truly good—this episode is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

• The tragic story that changed everything
• Wrestling with God in the middle of grief
• How trauma impacts your faith and identity
• What forgiveness really means (and what it doesn’t)
• Finding purpose through pain
• Why isolation is one of the enemy’s greatest weapons
• How God redeems even the darkest moments

Key takeaway:
Even in your deepest pain… God is present, He understands, and He is not finished with your story.
