      <description><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever worked hard to make things look perfect on the outside while feeling unworthy inside? Today’s guest did. As she wrestled with difficult family issues, she felt ashamed and defeated. To outsiders, her Muslim family looked perfect. Yet she knew otherwise. It left her feeling empty and alone.

And if he can do that for her, he can do that you for you too. <br />-------->>></p><p><strong>Take Your Learning Deeper</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Join the iHOPE Community.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Could God really care about the tiny details of your day? Zara didn't think so. She grew up in a Muslim family in the heart of the Middle East. Then she ended up in a women's Bible study in America with women who talked about what God was doing in their lives. She wondered if God might care about the details in her life too.  Find out what she learned from those women, and what it means for you in your own walk with the Lord.

      <title>Strong and Courageous Faith: Caroline&apos;s Story</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The first time I heard someone share the gospel outside of church was in a taxi in Beirut. I was in the backseat and my friend Caroline, a Syrian refugee, asked our Muslim male taxi driver if he knew Jesus. I sat in that backseat and listened as Caroline told him the Good News. This week, Caroline is our guest speaker. She was a catalyst who changed my thoughts and actions for sharing my faith. I pray her story does the same for you. </p><p>-------->>></p><p>Visit <a href="https://www.ihopeministries.org/"><strong>www.iHOPEministries.org</strong></a> for more donor-supported resources that will embolden you to share the gospel across cultures.

      <title>When You Realize Jesus Loves You: Amie&apos;s Story</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Amie will never forget the moment she realized Jesus loves her. As a former Muslim in an Islamic nation, Amie grew up abused and unloved. She walked in bitterness, anger, and unforgiveness. When a friend told her Jesus loves her, it blew her mind. On the spot, she believed and accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior. Then God did incredible things. Radically transformed from the inside out, God used Amie to share the love of Christ with her abusive earthly father. Turns out, he'd been feeling unworthy and unloved too.</p><p>Today Amie is living a bold, joyful life in Christ in North America.  Listening to her story will have you thinking about the first time you realized Jesus loves you, and remembering that He is with you always. </p><p>For more quick stories like this, follow iHOPE Ministries on Instagram.

      <itunes:summary>Amie will never forget the moment she realized Jesus loves her. As a former Muslim in an Islamic nation, Amie grew up abused and unloved. She walked in bitterness, anger, and unforgiveness. When a friend told her Jesus loves her, it blew her mind. On the spot, she believed and accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior. Then God did incredible things. Radically transformed from the inside out, God used Amie to share the love of Christ with her abusive earthly father. Turns out, he&apos;d been feeling unworthy and unloved too. 

Today Amie is living a bold, joyful life in Christ in North America.  Listening to Amie’s story will have you pondering the first time you realized Jesus loves you, and remembering that He is with you always. </itunes:summary>

Yet, most believers don't know how to cross religious and cultural boundaries to share the hope of Jesus. </p><p>That's okay. How would you know? Sharing Jesus with Muslims and people of other faiths isn't usually taught in Church. </p><p>And yet, if your biblical faith is important to you, friends of other faiths expect you to bring it up. If you don’t, it signals that your faith isn’t important. Plus your witness is diminished.  </p><p>We're here to help. These 6 fundamentals - (excerpt recorded at an iHOPE workshop )- will embolden you to be a more courageous, confident, authentic Christian witness to people of other faiths. </p><p>Get our weekly eNewsletter to learn more bite-sized things to know and do each week.

      <title>She faced death to follow Jesus. Amazing story.</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>You probably don't have to worry about your family killing you tonight for being a Christian, yet today's guests did. Once she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior, she faced immediate life-threatening danger. A “Yes” to Jesus in her home country is different than a “Yes” here. Today she's living in America's heartland as a passionate ambassador for Christ. Don't miss this remarkable story. <i> </i></p><p>But before you meet her, I want to give you the backstory behind the name of this series called <i>The Blue Cord.</i> When I was a kid, most Americans identified as Christian. I didn't need to share my faith unless I was going to be a missionary. Now people of many faiths and cultures live here. We can cross our street and tell others about Jesus. And yet we're not. </p><p>Something similar happened to the Israelites. God reveals in Numbers, 15:37-41 that after another round of not doing what the Lord told them to do, He gave His people a reminder - a tassel with a cord of blue - on the hem of their garments. So that every time they saw it, they would remember him and his commands rather than follow after their own hearts. </p><p>The blue cord was a symbol of God's divine commands that they serve a Holy living God who left instructions for how to remember and trust him.  Inspired by the biblical blue cord, I pray this Blue Cord series by iHOPE Ministries will be a catalyst for you to go be His witness and declare His glory among the nations, living around you. </p><p>For more bite-sized things to know and do to share your faith with intention, follow us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ihopeministries/">Instagram</a>, then go to  <a href="https://www.iHOPEministries.org">www.iHOPEMinistries.org</a>, and sign up for our weekly eNewsletter.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>What are your earliest impressions about what Jesus meant by “Go be My witnesses?” How has that understanding shaped your Christian witness today?</p><p>In this podcast, hosts Renod and Karen Bejjani dish up powerful stories, insightful nuggets, and fun interviews that will inspire and empower you to live as an authentic Christian witness among people of other faiths, right where you live, to the glory of God. </p><p>Renod endured intense persecution as a Christian raised in Islamic-ruled nations and spent decades filled with anger at God and hatred for Muslims. So, he didn’t share his faith with anyone.</p><p>While Renod grew up at war with Muslims, Karen grew up in America’s heartland. She thought the great commission was for missionaries, not every-day Christians. As she pursued the American dream, she didn’t notice mosques and temples multiplying. And it never dawned on her to intentionally share her faith. </p><p>Knowing that Renod and Karen weren’t thinking about crossing religious boundaries to share Jesus, how intentional do you think they were about being His witnesses? Pretty unintentional.</p><p>In their generation, the percentage of Americans who identify as Christian has slid dramatically from 93% when the Bejjanin's were kids to 65% a couple of years ago. The trends are even worse in Canada and Europe. </p><p>Meanwhile, those with no religious affiliation and Islam are growing fast. If nothing changes, Muslims are trending to outnumber Christians in a few generations. So, the Bejjani’s founded iHOPE ministries a decade ago to embolden every-day Christians  with the courage, confidence, and know-how to share their faith across religious boundaries. </p><p>God is on the move, and people of other faiths here are hungry to know about Jesus.
