He was raised in a devout Muslim family in Iran… trained to honor martyrdom… and taught never to question.
But one encounter changed everything.

In this powerful episode of No Longer Nomads, we sit down with Mohamad Faridi to hear his unbelievable journey from growing up under strict Islamic rule in Iran to encountering Jesus in a way that transformed his life forever.

From childhood shaped by war, fear, and religious pressure… to being trained in a system where questioning faith was dangerous… Mohamad shares the raw reality of what life was like behind the scenes.

But his story doesn’t end there.

After a single conversation about Jesus, everything began to unravel—and what followed led him into the underground church, persecution, and ultimately a new life with purpose.

We also dive into what’s happening in Iran today, the rapid growth of the underground church, and why so many are searching for truth.

This is a story of faith, courage, and transformation you won’t forget.
