How can faith flourish in the most challenging places? In this powerful episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper is joined by missionaries Ken and Carrie Liles to discuss their ministry to the Iranian people both inside Iran and across the diaspora. Against the backdrop of recent events and ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the conversation dives into personal stories of courage, persecution, and miraculous revival.

Hear the remarkable testimony of Iran’s underground church, considered one of the fastest-growing Christian movements in the world, despite severe persecution. The stories shared in the episode demonstrate how the love of Christ breaks through even the darkest places. The episode concludes with a heartfelt email from an Iranian church member, Yasamin, and a moving prayer for Iran’s freedom and spiritual awakening.
