Join Izzy and Solomon for an extraordinary conversation with John, a Yemeni ex-Muslim who left Islam at the heart of Mecca, and Emma from Open Doors UK, as they unpack what it truly costs to follow Jesus in the world's most dangerous places. This episode dives deep into the 2025 World Watch List, revealing where faith costs the most—and why 388 million Christians around the world are paying a high price for following Jesus.

Discover John's radical testimony of growing up as a devoted Muslim in Yemen, travelling to Mecca with his family, and rejecting Islam at the holiest site in the Islamic world.

We’ll also explore practical ways to stand with the persecuted church: pray for the World Watch List countries, love Muslims around you with the truth that God is love, read your Bible and don't take freedom for granted.
