Welcome back to the Ask About My Faith Podcast!

In this powerful episode of the Ask About My Faith podcast, we’re joined by Armin Assadi, a survivor of the Baha’i “silent” genocide and a former crime boss who experienced a dramatic transformation through faith. After fleeing persecution in Iran, Armin found success in criminal life but constantly asked, “How did I get here?” He shares his emotional journey from a life of violence to an encounter with Christ that changed everything.
Armin talks candidly about his struggles, including suicidal thoughts, and how God's grace found him in a mental health facility where he was wrestling with God and sharing poetry. His altar call moment, where he wept and surrendered his life, marked a turning point. He explains how experiencing God's grace—especially in court when he was found guilty but shown mercy—compelled him to boldly share his faith.
Armin emphasizes the courage it takes to talk about faith in today’s culture, encouraging listeners to normalize faith conversations without filtering out such a significant part of life. From ministering to a Vietnam vet at a gas station to staying unoffendable with co-workers, Armin’s story is a testament to the power of stepping out in faith and letting God work through everyday moments. This episode will challenge you to ask, "Where is my faith today?" and inspire you to take courageous action in sharing it with the world.
