On this episode of By His Grace, I sit down with evangelist and pastor, Hormoz Shariat on the expo floor of The National Religious Broadcast Convention. Hormoz was born into a Muslim family in Iran and came to the United States after the Islamic Revolution of 1979, where he came to Christ while earning his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering. He is the founder of Alive Ministries and he is passionate about bringing the truths contained within scripture to muslims in Iran and around the world.
As the fastest growing Christian community in the world, Iran is at a crossroads. Iran is no longer a Muslim nation – as only 1/3 of the population identifies as Muslim. It is facing incredible changes internally, and now the government is facing increased pressure to negotiate with the US and Israel.
Dr. Shariat grew up in Iran, chanting “death to America.” He had a revelation after moving to the US to get his Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence and accepted Christ. After his teenage brother was executed by the government in Iran, God showed Dr. Shariat that the best way to respond was to dedicate his life to sharing the Gospel with as many Iranians as possible.
We discussed the work that Hormoz is doing to bring the gospel to Iran, the impact that the Lord is having on the people and nation of Iran, and the ways that He is changing the cultural and religious climate of the country. In this episode, we also discuss ways that Christians in America can practically help those who are being persecuted.
Key Takeaways
- “Jesus is not the prophet that Islam introduces.”
- “The message of the gospel is the answer to all kinds of problems.”
- “Jesus came to heal and to set free.”
- “All muslims are not the same.”
- “In a practical way, show interest in their beliefs.”

In this episode of By His Grace, I interview Rabbi Jason Sobel. Rabbi Jason Sobel is a thought leader, spiritual guide, and Jewish follower of Yeshua (Jesus). He is co-founder of Fusion with Rabbi Jason, a ministry dedicated to sharing teachings and resources that reconnect ancient Jewish wisdom with the teachings of the New Testament.
In this episode, Jason and I have an important discussion about the Jewish roots of the Bible, their historical significance, and their significance as related to both the Christian and the Jewish faith. As a Jewish follower of Yeshua, Jason brings a unique and much-needed perspective on the Messiah and the work that He came to do. Listen in to this powerful message to be encouraged, equipped, and inspired to engage the scriptures and to appreciate their Jewish roots. In addition to the message, be sure to listen to the conclusion of the show where Rabbi Jason prays a traditional Jewish blessing over the listeners.
Key Take-Aways
– “The Chosen takes a different look at the life of Jesus than many of the other portrayals of Him.”
– “The most Jewish thing you can do is believe in Jesus.”
– “Satan thought he was foiling the plan of God, but He was actually fulfilling it.”
– “My heart’s desire is for all of the Jewish people and all of Israel to understand that Yeshua is the promised Messiah of the Hebrew Scriptures.”
– “He came the first time as a suffering servant, as the lamb, but He’s returning as the son of David, as the lion of the tribe of Judah.”
– “When you see the Jewish roots, you see the Bible in high definition.”
