In this powerful episode of Unmuted, Edwin Abnous sits down with Dr. Roy Oksnevad, one of the leading voices in the Iranian diaspora ministry, to explore the complex realities shaping the Iranian church today:
- The unique challenges Iranian believers face inside Iran and in the diaspora
- How honor and shame culture shapes relationships, faith expression, and conflict
- The deep impact of trauma, persecution, and displacement on church dynamics
- Why leadership styles can build unity, or create fractures, within Iranian communities
- The importance of cultural identity, emotional healing, and discipleship
- How the global church can better support Iranian Christians
If you’re interested in Iranian Christianity, Middle Eastern culture, trauma-informed ministry, church leadership, or diaspora missions, this conversation is rich, honest, and deeply insightful.
