For most of us, God's Word is never more than an arm's length away. We have Bibles on our shelves, apps on our phones, and the freedom to read Scripture whenever we choose. But for many Bedouin people living in the deserts of Israel, that isn't their reality. Most have never had the opportunity to read the Bible in the language that speaks most deeply to their hearts.

What's even more moving is that these Bedouin communities live in the very land where humble shepherds were among the first to hear the angels' announcement and come to worship Jesus as a baby. Today, thousands of years later, many still don't know the Savior those shepherds encountered.

Your gift can help change that. By supporting the translation of the Bible into Bedawi Arabic, you're not only bringing God's Word to a people in their heart language, you're also giving forgotten widows dignity, meaningful work, and the opportunity to encounter Jesus for themselves as they translate His Word. Together, we can help ensure that the hope of the Gospel reaches the hearts of the Bedouin people - one widow, one family, and one village at a time.

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

The explosive growth of the underground Christian church

Why young Iranians are embracing hope, freedom, and faith

What really happens behind the scenes of “I Found The Truth”?

In this special I Found The Truth Rewind episode, we take you inside the making of the films that are impacting Muslims around the world—and share how these powerful testimonies didn’t just change viewers… they changed us.

After a dr*g-fueled spiral, Steve Kang says a terrifying demonic encounter led him to the brink of death—and an experience of h*ll he would never forget. Watch the full episode @NoLongerNomads

Steve Kang was raised as a devout Buddhist, believing it could take millions of years and countless lifetimes to finally reach Nirvana.

Then one night, everything changed.

After taking dr*gs that he says were unknowingly laced, Steve spiraled into days of fear, confusion, and intense spiritual darkness. Eventually, he says a being appeared to him with a terrifying offer: take your own life, and 50,000 years of hell will be taken away. Steve believed it.

What followed was a s****de attempt, a fight for his life in the hospital, and a near-death experience Steve says took him somewhere he never believed existed. Hell.

In this episode of No Longer Nomads, Steve shares his journey from Buddhism to Christianity, his near-death experience, the demonic encounter that nearly ended his life, and how his survival ultimately transformed not only his faith—but his family.


📖 Steve Kang is the author of Eight Hours in Hell and founder of Revive the Nations.

What happens when you spend years investigating Bigfoot, UFOs, demons, strange dreams, and the unexplained… and the unexplained starts following YOU home?

For our 100th episode of No Longer Nomads, we sit down with Nate and Luke from @blurrycreatures for a wild conversation about the “Hitchhiker Effect”—the idea that prolonged exposure to paranormal phenomena may lead to strange encounters of your own.

From a bizarre dream about hundreds of green parrots that seemingly came true the very next day, to two roommates experiencing nearly identical terrifying dreams, unexplained figures caught on security cameras, strange activity inside their homes, and encounters that seem impossible to dismiss as coincidence… this conversation goes deep.

But underneath the paranormal stories is a much bigger question: What if the supernatural world described in Scripture is far more real—and far closer—than modern Christianity is comfortable admitting?

We explore Bigfoot, Genesis 6, prophetic dreams, demons, spiritual warfare, UFO phenomena, the power of Jesus’ name, and why the Church may be dangerously unprepared to talk about the supernatural.

The guys also share how a podcast that started with a simple question about Bigfoot eventually became a vehicle for conversations about Scripture, the Gospel, and people encountering Christ in some of the darkest moments of their lives.

Is the “Hitchhiker Effect” real?
Can supernatural encounters follow you home?
Can God use dreams to get our attention?
And what happens when the paranormal collides with a biblical worldview?

Welcome to Episode 100 of No Longer Nomads.

QUESTION:
Have you ever experienced something you simply couldn’t explain?

What if the Apostle Paul wasn’t the universally respected church hero we imagine? He was a former persecutor, a controversial outsider, and a maverick who challenged the early church. Watch the full episode @NoLongerNomads

4 1

What if the Apostle Paul wasn’t the polished, universally respected church hero we often imagine?

What if he was actually a controversial outsider—a former persecutor, a maverick, and a man whose own life may have felt like a failure right up until the end?

In this episode of No Longer Nomads, Josh sits down with historian, archaeologist, filmmaker, and August Media founder Dr. Matthew Larsen to uncover the Paul most Christians have never met.

Paul entered the early Jesus movement with some serious baggage. He had persecuted Christians. He clashed with other believers. His message challenged deeply held traditions. His letters could be incredibly blunt. And according to Dr. Larsen, even our mental picture of Paul may be completely wrong.

This conversation dives into the history behind the New Testament and asks some fascinating questions:
• Was Paul married—and possibly a widower?
• Why did Paul personally circumcise Timothy?
• Did Paul actually change his position on circumcision?
• Why was there tension between Paul and other early Christians?
• What did Paul mean by handing someone “over to Satan”?
• What do we actually know about Paul’s death in Rome?
• What role did wealthy and influential women like Phoebe play in Paul’s ministry?
• And did Paul die knowing just how dramatically his life would change the world?

But underneath all the history is an even bigger question:
What if you can be faithful to what God has called you to do—and still feel like you’re failing?

Paul spent years traveling, suffering, being rejected, beaten, imprisoned, and opposed. He kept pushing toward goals he may never have seen fulfilled in his lifetime.

And yet, thousands of years later, we can see a much bigger story unfolding through his life.

Dr. Larsen brings the world of the early church to life through history, archaeology, ancient sources, and the original Greek—revealing a Paul who feels far more complicated, human, and fascinating than the version many of us grew up imagining.

If you’ve ever wondered who Paul really was, what the earliest Christians were actually like, or how God can use seasons that feel like failure, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of No Longer Nomads, Josh sits down with his mom for a personal conversation about their family's story—the good parts and the messy ones.

They talk about what it was really like raising six kids, the years when things went off the rails, difficult decisions they had to make as parents, and how JoAnn held onto her faith when she couldn't see how the story was going to end.

They also unpack Psalm 23 from a perspective you may not have considered before.

Why does it say God *makes* us lie down?

Why are so many of us uncomfortable with slowing down?

And what does “the valley of the shadow of death” look like when the valley isn't death at all—but cancer, family problems, fear, disappointment, or years of unanswered questions?

JoAnn also shares what happened when her husband was diagnosed with stage-four cancer, why there were moments in the emergency room when she couldn't feel God's presence at all, and how she learned to recognize His presence afterward.

Today, their family's story looks very different.

This conversation is about what happens when life doesn't follow the plan—and what it looks like to keep going anyway.

// In this episode //

• The Doyle family's years of rebellion and uncertainty
• What JoAnn did when her kids started walking away
• The advice that changed how they parented
• Why slowing down can be so difficult
• A different way to understand Psalm 23
• Walking through a stage-four cancer diagnosis
• Spiritual warfare and forgiveness
• Waiting 10–15 years for an answer to prayer
• Why difficult seasons can change you for the better
• What JoAnn wishes parents understood about raising kids
