Naghmeh Abedini Panahi advocated for her husband Saeed before on major news channels and before multiple governments while he was imprisoned in Iran for his Christianity. Unfortunately, after he was released, he abused her. Naghmeh's new book, I Didn’t Survive: Emerging Whole After Deception, Persecution, and Hidden Abuse, documents her early childhood in Iran in a Muslim family during the Iranian Revolution and Iran’s war with Iraq, her powerful conversion story, her complex history with Saeed, the rise of her status within the international church as she became a voice of advocacy for the persecuted, and her “fall from grace” with that same faith community when she spoke the truth about her marriage. She joined Brian and Aubrey to talk about her story and her calling as a church planter.

The idea of “the common good” has a rich history within the Christian church. It’s the notion that, as we pursue Jesus in our lives and in the lives of others, we are fulfilling God’s purposes for His creation. This pursuit can be messy. It means rolling up our sleeves and creating space for hard conversations about real issues that impact our lives. Things like parenting, marriage, finances, politics, art, and culture. On The Common Good, Brian From creates space to have these conversations, to sit with the big questions that we all have, to sometimes disagree, but to always look for the chance to create common good, by following after Jesus. Brian welcome listeners to join them in these conversations, to bring their own questions, hopes, and struggles, and to ultimately share in a journey to see God’s design for all of us fulfilled.
