Dr. Sara Afshari Discusses Iranian Christianity and Media Challenges
A scholar of Iranian Christianity recently discussed the state of the church in Iran with a podcast host. She explained that Christian media significantly influences seekers and helps bridge gaps in discipleship. According to the scholar, conversion is a gradual, relational journey rather than a single event. She emphasized that trust-building is essential for healthy communities and noted that many converts accept high costs for their faith. The discussion highlighted that Western ministry models often fail in Iran, requiring contextualized theological education and genuine partnerships to nurture a local expression of Christianity.
