Summary
PASTOR CLAUDE STAUFFER
Mary welcomes back Pastor Claude Stauffer of Calvary Chapel in Amityville, NY to talk about the church side of the headlines concerning Iran. The cost of conversion there is a life or death matter of course, because it conflicts in every way with Islam. Is there revival going on there? Or is revival fueling the revolution at this juncture in 2026? We talk about the numbers, the cost and how God continues to use Persia for His own purposes – across the ages. Then we look at discipleship in the New Year, via Matthew 1-4. New Years’ resolutions are pretty useless, but God’s Word never returns void. Since that is our commission, to go and make disciples of all men, what better way to start things out than to learn more about how to do that. A full hour with a man who truly loves God’s Word and it transformative effects. Pray for Iran, for the believers there, that they too can make disciples boldly, and fearlessly.

| 0:43.1 | And I want to preface it all by saying that on Wednesday, Tim and I, when we did headlines, we had really two streams of headlines, the protests in Iran and the protests in the states. |
| 0:52.3 | Now, there is a chasm of difference between them because my perception is in the States, people |
| 0:57.7 | protest for rights that they largely already have or for justice that they perceive is lacking, |
| 1:03.8 | whether it's based on truth or not. |
| 1:05.2 | Now, in Iran, they protest to live free from oppression and from tyranny. |

| 1:12.8 | Now, in Iran, the Lord is working in the midst of chaos. |
| 1:15.2 | He always does. |
| 1:17.0 | And people pay a high price there to disciple others and to be disciples. |
| 1:21.6 | In America, discipleship may not even include sound doctrine. |
