A World of Difference Holiday Break EPS 22: Pastor Yasmin Roohi on misunderstood Mary, women in the church, justice and being an Enneagram 8 Iranian-American woman pastor in Silicon Valley

Pastor Yasmin Roohi pastors Centerset church along with her husband Pastor Ali Roohi in the Silicon Valley. They planted Centerset church together, birthed out of a dream and a calling that they shared since they were dating. Yasmin is an Iranian-American who grew up in Italy. She cares deeply about justice, and longs to make a difference in the lives of those who are oppressed and treated unjustly. She and her husband are raising 2 girls ages 4 and 2, and she strives to make the world a better place for her girls to grow up in. She gives us her perspective on what it must have been like for a young Middle Eastern woman named Mary to say "yes" to the monumental task of carrying, birthing and raising the Messiah.
