In this powerful episode of the Steadfast Men Podcast, I sit down with Farshid Rezaee, a man born and raised in Iran, who grew up as a Muslim and later encountered Jesus Christ in a way that changed everything.

With the world paying close attention to what’s happening in Iran, Farshid shares firsthand what life is really like growing up in an Islamic country. He opens up about the pressures, fears, and realities of living under a Muslim system—and what it meant to secretly follow Jesus while having to live a double life to protect himself and others.

Farshid walks us through:

-What it was like growing up Muslim in Iran

-How he came to know Jesus as Lord and Savior

-The dangers and challenges of hiding his Christian faith

-His journey from Iran to Malaysia, and eventually to America

-Why religious freedom in the U.S. means so much to him

Today, Farshid lives in the United States and is deeply involved in ministry. He works with PRISM (Pittsburgh Region International Student Ministries), where he shares the gospel, disciples international students, participates in Bible studies, speaks as an apologist, and helps with outreach events. He also serves as an Outreach Pastor at Three Rivers Grace Church.

If you’ve ever wondered what it costs to follow Jesus in places like Iran—or why the gospel is spreading even under persecution—this conversation will encourage and challenge you.

In this week’s episode, Matt steps into the pulpit at a local church in Beaver Falls, PA and brings a clear, timely message on what it means to live a steadfast life for the Lord.

Drawing from Matthew 25 and the Parable of the Ten Virgins, Matt challenges believers to stay spiritually awake, keep their lamps filled with oil, and walk in purity as we wait for Christ’s return. He also dives into Revelation 3 and other key passages that reveal God’s call to faithfulness in a distracted and deceptive world.

This 30-minute sermon is both encouraging and sobering—a reminder that holiness still matters, discernment is essential, and Jesus is worthy of our unwavering devotion.

In this episode of Steadfast Men Unscripted, I sit down with Greg Heibert — a man whose story of brokenness, redemption, and perseverance will encourage anyone walking through hard times. Greg opens up about his secret struggle with sexual addiction that began at an early age and followed him into marriage. What started as hidden sin nearly cost him everything — his family, his faith, and even his life. But God wasn’t done with Greg. Through a men’s conference called Every Man’s Battle, he came clean, found healing, and began the long journey toward restoration. Even after losing his business to a flood, a fire, and bankruptcy, Greg’s faith has continued to grew stronger. Today, Greg serves with Christ Led Communities (CLC) in Pittsburgh, discipling men to become stronger followers of Jesus. His story reminds us that no matter how far we fall, God’s grace can rebuild what was broken. You can contact him at [email protected] and at www.clchq.org
