Katia Adams on Dreaming to Church Plant as a Teenager, Pastoring With Legacy in Mind & What the Persecuted Church Can Teach Us

While most teens were planning their next adventure, Katia Adams was dreaming about planting churches. Raised in a family instrumental in launching the Iranian Church, Katia’s life and ministry have spanned continents—from Iran to England, and now Boston, where she co-leads The Table Boston.

In this episode, Katia and Jason unpack her story and how it’s shaped her theology, her passion for equipping the Church, and her heart for the supernatural. This is a conversation about legacy, leadership, and trusting God with every season.

Key Takeaways:

• What it means to build on the spiritual legacy of your family

• How Katia’s experience in Iran and England shaped her approach to the Church

• Why the Church needs both rooted theology and openness to the supernatural

• How to faithfully pastor in a highly secular, post-Christian culture

• Encouragement for young leaders who feel called to ministry early in life

This episode is a beautiful reminder that the call to lead is rarely linear, but always worth it.
