Welcome to our new Hidden Gems season of Jesus Speaks Farsi, where we're revisiting some of our favorite conversations from our library.

In this episode, we're looking back at a conversation Chrissy and Hannah had with Tom Hawksley, a member of Elam's Teaching Team, about the history of Iran's church and why, after centuries of hardship, it is growing faster today than ever before.

Just before we meet Tom, you'll hear Joe and Chrissy on why they think this episode is a hidden gem worth revisiting in these days.
