An Iranian refugee puts a human face on the fight for freedom from Iran’s regime as author, speaker, and pastor David Nasser joins Al, Zach, and Jase to tell the story of his family’s escape from Iran after the 1979 revolution. David describes the terrifying moment soldiers dragged his father away, their desperate escape plan, and the loneliness he felt after arriving in America as an outsider. But a group of Christians serving as volunteer waiters in his father’s restaurant changed everything, eventually leading David and his whole family to Jesus. The guys also discuss the difference between Iran’s people and its tyrannical regime, the courage of underground Iranian Christians, and why freedom is a gift Americans should never take for granted.
