Can the gospel truly thrive in a region marked by conflict, complexity, and misunderstanding?

In this powerful episode, New York Times bestselling author and historian Stephen Mansfield joins The Fares Abraham Podcast to share why the Middle East is not just a place of crisis — but a land dear to God’s heart, full of spiritual hunger and gospel potential.

Fares and Stephen unpack the untold story of the Kurds, the growth of the Church in places like Iran, and how Christians in the West can move past false dichotomies to love both Israel and the Arab world. They explore how the Great Commission isn’t about exporting culture, but about empowering every nation to thrive in Christ.

If you're passionate about mission, unity, and God’s redemptive work in the hardest places — this episode is for you.
