Revival in Iran: Dr. Hormoz Shariat on the Underground Church and the Power of the Gospel

An episode of Conversations with Christians Engaged — a podcast dedicated to helping believers continue walking in faith while navigating the muddy ways of politics and culture.

By The Stream Published on October 19, 2025

This week, Dr. Hormoz Shariat — often called the Billy Graham of Iran — joins Conversations with Christians Engaged host Bunni Pounds to discuss how God is transforming one of the most closed nations on earth. From his journey as a former Muslim to leading a 24/7 satellite ministry reaching millions across the Middle East, Dr. Shariat shares stories of revival, courage, and discipleship under persecution.

Discover how Iran is now home to the fastest-growing church in the world, why the underground believers there are hungry for the Word, and how the same Gospel that’s changing lives in Iran can reignite our faith here in America.

This episode is part of the series “Stories from Israel and Iran.” Watch above or listen to it in your favorite podcast app. And join us next week for another episode of Conversations with Christians Engaged.
