Chapters & Summary

Host Hediye Mirahmadi welcomes Reverend Shah Ahmadi and provides an overview of his remarkable journey from being a Quran memorizer in Iran to becoming a Christian evangelist and director of strategic alliances for Iran Alive Ministries. His ministry spans over 25 countries where he speaks about the underground church in Iran, religious persecution, and evangelism.

Reverend Shah describes his upbringing in a strict Muslim family and his intensive commitment to memorizing the entire Quran by age 13. He explains the rigorous discipline required—spending 2-3 hours daily practicing alongside school work, prayer, and fasting—despite not initially understanding the Arabic he was reciting in Farsi-speaking Iran.

Shah reflects on his formative years as a devoted Muslim, explaining that despite his discipline and commitment, he never experienced a personal relationship with God. Instead of love, fear motivated his religious practice, and he viewed God as a distant supreme leader rather than a caring Father figure.
