Surviving Abuse and Helping Lead the Persecuted Church: Naghmeh Panahi
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- Naghmeh has one of the most incredible stories I’ve ever heard. Raised in a Muslim family, converted to Christ through her brother’s dream at age 9, helped start a massive house church movement in Iran where she faced tremendous persecution, which eventually landed her husband in prison. She then found herself on a national stage fighting to get her husband out of prison-talking to major news outlets (CNN, Fox, etc.) and to presidents Obama and Trump. She then had to face some hard truths about her abusive husband, and when she spoke out against abuse, she faced a backlash from some high-profile American church leaders. Naghmeh currently lives in Boise, ID and speaks out against the abuse of women in the church and continues to serve the house church movement in Iran. Even though that culture devalues women, the church in Iran is growing rapidly through the leadership of women, of which Naghmeh is a part. Naghmeh has written about her story in a forthoming book: I Didn't Survive: Emerging Whole After Deception, Persecution, and Hidden Abuse.

Of course I remember your story, Sister Nagmeh, from when the whole world was praying for Pastor Said to get out of prison in Iran. May God continue to bless you and your children.
I have listened to so many of your podcasts, and this is my favorite which is saying a lot. What an amazing and inspiring woman. Her gentleness given all that she has been through - wow.
The level of Christlike humility lived by this sister in Christ is such a lesson for us all in so many ways. Even at the end - with all the ways she has faithfully served Christ, to end by acknowledging Preston’s ministry’s impact on her was so beautiful. Jesus on display
Great interview!! Beautiful, strong, warrior dear Naghmeh Panahi, Thank you for sharing your story. May God bless you and guide you !🙏
Preston, thank you so much for having Naghmeh on your platform, and Naghmeh, thank YOU so much for your powerful testimony and for your work, both in sharing the gospel and in advocating for survivors of abuse. I'm one of those people in the audience who is scratching my head at the ongoing debate about women in leadership. I appreciate Naghmeh's attitude of humility about it, but, my goodness, if she is not proof of God's will to use women to lead...!
I appreciate you, Naghmeh!
Thankful she shared her story
I am so sorry you went through all that Neghmeh! Thank you for sharing. I am glad God is walking you through all of this. ❤
This is extremely common.
Thank you Naghmeh!
I have experienced this, as well as 4 other women I know of at my former church. Also a Calvary. Btw.
Thank you sooo much for this. ❤❤❤
Amazing woman of God! We thank Jesus for your testimony 🙌
God is moving.
Amazing story. Would love to get in touch with Naghmeh via email. What a beautiful soul . 😢
So sorry to hear about your story Naghmeh and that the one place you should be able to turn first was the least supportive of your situation. It’s tragic how much the Bible is still being used to justify treating women as though they are less than. Your point about how wrong it is to put an institution above the person is also spot on. Keep telling your story.
As a christian single I have been trying to meet a spouse and every man I've dated from the Christian church has been a narcissist! What has become of the church. Where are the loving Christian men😢
Please wait for the right one, I am 50 years old and married for 27 years but I thought I was going to stay single. They are very hard to find.
Man, I hope your church is doing some residencies because we need more disciples like this!!!! Wow.
It wasn't a friendship on Franklin Graham's behalf. He was simply courting his investment, nothing personal.
I also think Yah was showing her who Franklin is and that she shouldn’t be keeping counsel with the wicked. Praise Yah!
Regarding Apollos, "He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately." Acts 18:26. This seems to imply that both Priscilla and Aquila spoke with Apollos.
hurriyya (freedom) al-Nisa (the woman)
So sad that those things came from Franklin Graham.
Naghmeh 7 years after her divorce keeps making her hard earned money by accussing her husband through writing books and begging for interviews. A woman full of unforgiveness and bitterness. What a beautiful mission in life...
You have no idea what you are saying..so say less, you'll do the world of survivors of narcissistic abuse a favor! Study Cluster B Personality disorder!
Remember, you will answer to the Lord for each loose statement (Matthew 12:36)
If you are married- I feel bad for your wife.
@@GloryToTheHighest It's so sad how people can endorse abuse and rape
I also know one who accuses believers that way.
Let’s see;
Throw shade on America’s churches and Christian leaders, bash Donald Trump and Conservatives, praise Obama, push the oppressed/oppressor narrative, attack the patriarchy, push the idea of women in church leadership roles, belittle men, and believe all women.
Same script over and over.
Got any new material, Preston?
Sir...she shared her experience meeting Trump and Obama. She is simply telling her story about what happened. You are accusing her of "pushing" something, so what do you want her to do? Lie?!? I think you want her to lie. If she praises Trump and bashes Obama she would be lying. All she did here was share the experience she had.
Nothing against her story. It’s Preston that I took issue with.
If one listens very carefully to his response and engagement with her regarding the visits with the President’s, he manipulates the conversation and gets her to agree to or support a narrative that he is pushing. It’s Preston that is drawing out from her the answer that he desires.
@@westyso.cal.8842 So you are implying that Nagmeh isn't intelligent enough to answer honestly and is so impressionable that Sprinkle can manipulate her that easily? Because that is actually what you are implying here.
Preston stated that he felt that Trump was using her. She then stated her opinion in the matter. I honestly don't think she is as impressionable as you make her to be.
Allow me to clarify. In no way am I attempting to discredit Nagmah or her testimony.
Preston Sprinkle is someone that I have been watching very closely for a long time.
I am of the opinion that he consistently features guests that potentially bolster his deviant agenda of disrupting and dismantling the historic orthodox Christian faith by employing methods that are aligned with “Critical Theory.”
Preston is leveraging the power of Nagmah’s story to reinforce a Social Justice praxis.
@@westyso.cal.8842 I am not saying you are discrediting her story. I'm saying you are arguing that Sprinkle is able to easily manipulate her to his agenda...and I'm sorry but she isn't that naive. She is incredibly smart. You don't need to discredit her story to accuse her of being easily manipulated, which is absolutely what you are accusing her of.
