Show Notes
If you want to better understand the spiritual, political, and human dynamics of what God is doing in Iran today—and how to stand with Iranian Christians in informed, hope-filled prayer—this conversation is a must-listen. 
Mehrdad traces the story of Iran’s modern spiritual awakening, beginning in the 1990s after the killing of several clergy, and the emergence of a movement that may now be described as one of the fastest-growing churches in the world. He describes how the majority of new believers are from a Muslim background, with estimates of at least one million Christians now in Iran, and how hunger for Scripture and leadership training has only intensified under persecution. 
He shares how Pars Theological Center began in response to this rapidly growing Iranian church in order to train leaders and pastors—many of them active in underground house fellowships across Iran and in the diaspora. This includes theological training, in-person formation conferences in nearby countries, a counseling ministry, and publishing resources in Farsi to disciple believers.
The conversation turns to the recent protests, crackdowns, and shocking mass killings—events that have profoundly shaken both the nation and the church. Mehrdad speaks candidly about Christians’ participation in the demonstrations, the high cost many have paid, and the deep lament, imprecatory prayer, and spiritual wrestling marking Iranian believers as they struggle to love their enemies while crying out for God’s justice. 
Mehrdad closes the episode with specific, practical ways listeners can pray: for a true regime change that leads to a democratic Iran, for the protection and freedom of the church, for the honoring of Iranians’ agency, and for the readiness and unity of Iranian believers in this moment of possible new beginnings.

Description

Reflexio, Latin for “reflection,” helps us think deeply about the implications of the exciting shifts in the global mission movement.
Reflexio’s purpose is to contribute to conversations within our global Christian community by sharing thoughtful and respectful conversations with men and women from across the globe. We highlight the voices of mission practitioners who are seldom part of our conversations to better learn from one another.
