Through January 2026, protests have roiled the country of Iran. In response, the Islamic regime has brutally cracked down on the people. Much of the violence is now largely hidden, as the internet has been blocked inside the country. But the shaking of Iran continues.
Christians have been swept up in this chaos. Many have suffered for years, as the Islamic regime sought to stamp out the truth of Christ within its borders. Iran likely has the fastest growing community of Christians in the world today. So how is all of this affecting them? How should Christians in other parts of the world think and pray over the situation affecting Iranian believers?
We tackle these issues and more on this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast. We are joined by an Iranian sister in Christ who helps provide a window into the current situation inside Iran.
