Write into the show! In this powerful episode, we sit down with Brother Rashid, a former Muslim from Morocco who risked everything to follow Jesus. From being rejected by his family at 17 and surviving years of homelessness on the streets of Casablanca, to finding hope in the underground Moroccan church and now leading a global media ministry reaching millions, his story is a testament to the cost and courage of following Christ.Rashid shares how a late-night radio broadcast first challenged his beliefs, the difficult journey of questioning Islam, and the life-changing moment he encountered the gospel. We explore the persecution Christians face in Muslim-majority countries, the role of the underground church, and the power of using modern media to share truth in closed nations.If you’ve ever wondered what it truly means to count the cost of discipleship or how to share the gospel with Muslims in a way that balances truth and love, this conversation will inspire and equip you.Thanks for listening.
