On today's Quick Start podcast:

NEWS: WAR breaks out with Iran as missiles and drones hit multiple Middle Eastern nations, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan, and the UAE. A fire erupts at Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura oil refinery, U.S. fighter jets crash amid heavy fire in Kuwait, and Israel claims to have eliminated senior Iranian intelligence officials in Tehran. The U.S. and Gulf allies condemn Iran’s “reckless and indiscriminate” attacks as the region teeters on the edge of full-scale conflict.
FOCUS STORY: Rev. Shah Ahmadi lived in Iran for 22 years before fleeing after converting to Christianity. He shares what life is really like under the regime, what happens when someone leaves Islam for Christ, and how his family paid a price for his faith. His firsthand account offers a sobering look at the cost of discipleship inside Iran.
MAIN THING: As bombs fall and global powers maneuver, what does this war mean for Iran’s underground church? Chris Mitchell, Joshua Swanson, and Pastor Robbie Dawkins weigh in on the spiritual battle behind the military one — and why persecution has historically fueled explosive church growth in Iran. Is this crisis a turning point for the region?
LAST THING: 2 Timothy 3:12 — “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.”
