Mohamad Faridi grew up in Iran, trained in Shiite Islam, and was chosen for the Revolutionary Guard, but it all unraveled when a childhood friend shared the gospel. In this gripping first half of his testimony, Mohamad reveals the darkness, fear, and religious performance demanded by Islam, and the simple, freeing truth of Jesus Christ that changed everything.

He describes how Islam crushed his critical thinking, the rituals of self-harm he performed to earn God's approval, and the moment he heard the words that pierced his heart: “Jesus was sacrificed for you.” From intense persecution to underground churches, this is a story of transformation and truth you won’t forget.

Listen now and come back next week for Part 2 about how he escaped Iran and began ministering to Muslims across the world.
