Today’s episode is the first in our second podcast series - “Women in Iran.” In this series, we’ll hear from three women about their extraordinary journeys to the Christian faith while living in a culture that systematically oppresses women.

Mojdeh, our first guest was born in Iran and raised in a Christian home before the 1979 revolution in Iran. She’ll be sharing how this event has significantly affected women in her culture.

Trained as a medical doctor by profession, Mojdeh eventually felt called into full-time women’s ministry. She was also a key member of the translation team that translated the Bible into modern-day Persian. For decades, Mojdeh has helped thousands of Iranian women experience the transforming power of the Gospel, as well as equipping them to reach other Iranian women with the hope of Jesus.

In today's episode, we'll be talking with Bahar. As a woman born and raised in Iran, Bahar always sensed that the way women were treated in her culture wasn’t right or how things were meant to be. She was told to be quiet, to never laugh and to stay in her place. In this episode, we’ll hear how she ended up finding her place in the story God is writing for women in Iran.

In today’s episode, Jen and Joe will be chatting with Amirhossein about his experience growing up as a man in Iran and his perspective on the oppression women face there. We hope you’ll be encouraged by our conversation with Amirhossein as he shares why “women are meant to fly.”

In today's episode, Joe has a conversation with Sara, a woman who has been instrumental in the growth of the Iranian church. We hope you’re encouraged to hear how, by God's grace, she helped plant seven churches inside Iran, despite persecution and the challenges of being a single woman.

In this final episode of the Women in Iran series, Joe, Dara Lynn and Jen sit down over a cup of chai to talk through the stories we’ve shared. We discuss our thoughts as Westerners about the stories we’ve heard about women from Iran.
Grab your cup of tea and join us for another episode of Jesus Speaks Farsi.

There are some stories too good not to share. In this episode, Sara tells a short story about another Iranian woman who loves the Scriptures - her mother.
