‘I Found the Truth’: These Ex-Muslim Women Found Freedom After Supernatural Visits from Jesus

Women’s rights – or the stark absence of them – within Islam have sparked heated debates for centuries. Yet, the issue reached a boiling point in September 2022, when the tragic death of Jina Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish-Iranian woman, shocked the world.
Arrested by Iranian authorities for allegedly wearing “improper clothing,” Amini was brutally beaten in a police van, taken to a detention center where she collapsed and, just three days later, succumbed to her injuries.
Her death ignited a wave of protests across Iran, as women defiantly took to the streets, raising their hijabs like banners, chanting “Jin, Jiyan, Azadî” (“Woman, Life, Freedom”). The phrase echoed not just through Tehran but across the globe, as the world bore witness to a courageous uprising that demanded not just change but an entire shift in the fight for gender equality in the Islamic world.
Three former Muslim women gathered to dive deep into these issues in a powerful Roundtable discussion on a new program by “I Found the Truth”. It’s a ministry committed to sharing powerful stories of how Jesus is revealing Himself to Muslims worldwide through supernatural encounters like dreams and visions.
The new “I Found the Truth” Roundtable series creates a space for raw, honest conversation. Among the women were two Iranian-Americans who shared their personal journeys of seeking truth and confronting the harsh inequalities they faced as women within Islam. Yasra Larki, one of the women at the table, recalled how she was just nine years old when she was forced to start wearing the hijab in Iran – taught that even as a little girl, she was a temptation to men and thus must veil herself.
Larki reflected on the deep emotional struggle of being treated as less than human, as inferior to men. “I feel like when I look back, one of the hardest things I faced was knowing I didn’t have the same rights as men,” she shared. “It was like always being seen as less, as not worthy. Like a second-class human. Even in families, when a boy is born, there’s so much celebration. But when a girl is born, it’s not the same excitement. It’s just so sad.”
Larki was joined on the Roundtable set by Nikta Musselwhite, who was also born in Iran but immigrated to America when she was seven. After becoming dissatisfied with a life of drugs and New Age practices and being tormented every waking second, her mom sent her to Iran on a vacation to visit her extended Muslim family.
While in Iran, she saw Jesus standing in a blue robe in a church in her dream, and He said, “Follow Me” to Nikta. She Googled Jesus because she wanted to know if it was the Jesus of Christianity she saw in her dream. She eventually gave her life to Jesus and faced persecution from her Muslim family.
Samira Marikh hosts the women’s roundtable discussion. Marikh hails from the Netherlands, but her family is from Morocco. Marikh came to the Lord after a scary encounter at 29. She was lying in bed, and all of a sudden, a severe heat came over her whole body. She thought that she was going to die. She cried out “God, if you save me, I will do whatever You want.” A light filled the whole room, and the fire stopped.
When she woke up the next day, there was a peace she had never felt before, and it began a journey of searching for the truth. After eight months of reading the Bible and the Quran and trying New Age practices, Samira found the truth. She heard the voice of Jesus say “Samira, you can stop with this whole research, it’s Me that you’ve been looking for your whole life. The emptiness and longing you’ve been trying to fill with earthly stuff, it’s Me you’ve been looking for.” A wave of God’s love came over her, and she began to know Him more and more.

Christian College Launching ‘Pulpit Simulator’ to Train Pastors for Better Preaching

A small Christian college in rural Indiana has big goals for its latest initiative — a program designed to be a “flight simulator” of sorts for pastors wanting to hone their skills behind the pulpit.
“If you think about a pilot who’s getting trained to crawl up into the cockpit of a plane, they get into a digital flight simulator,” Dr. Timothy McConnell, pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Colorado Springs, said on a recent episode of CBN News’ “Quick Start” podcast. “We’ve created kind of a pulpit simulator, climbing into the pulpit with cameras, confidence monitors, lights, sound systems — all the things you would expect to need to have some acumen and some awareness of to step into the pulpit in our times, and we’ve put it into a lab space.”
McConnell, the program’s director, was describing PREACH Labs, launched this month in Upland, Indiana, by Taylor University, one of the oldest Christian universities in the country. The program’s name is an acronym for “Preparing, Resourcing, Equipping, and Coaching for Homiletic Excellence.”
As it turns out, there seems to be some merit to initiatives like this.
Surveys have found many pastors and ministry leaders feel ill-equipped to adequately and compellingly address issues from the pulpit, especially when the topics center on matters of politics and civic engagement. In 2023, the Barna Group released data showing only one-in-five pastors (20%) felt equipped to lead their congregations on those subjects in particular.
Data published by Lifeway Research in 2021 found more than half of pastors (54%) were frequently overwhelmed by their ministries and 48% felt the demands before them — potentially including preaching — amounted to more than they could handle. But even with these statistics, very few evangelical ministers stepped away from their pulpits.
There are a lot of pastors, McConnell said, “whacking away” at preaching — because it’s a duty many of them, especially in less-populous areas, took on without any real training — who could benefit from a resource like PREACH Labs.
The Colorado-based pastor referenced President Abraham Lincoln, famously credited with saying, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I would spend the first four hours sharpening my ax.” The 16th president was highlighting the importance of adequate preparation for the tasks at hand.
“There’s a lot of pastors out there whacking away, God bless them, and they just feel like, ‘Man, that just wasn’t what I wanted; it didn’t land the way I wanted. I wish I had time and space to step back and go sharpen the ax a little bit and then get back at it,’” McConnell said.
The Apostle Paul encouraged believers to prioritize effectively communicating the Gospel.
He placed a premium on the practical nature of clearly and efficiently sharing the Gospel through preaching, asking believers in Ephesus to pray God would give him “the right words” so he could “boldly explain God’s mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike” (Ephesians 6:19, NLT).
“If you’re going to speak to thousands, you need to learn how to do that in a different way,” said McConnell. “And you don’t want to be a distraction — you don’t want to be a block to the Gospel.”
He continued, “Because of our motivation to share the Gospel widely, we’ve always been engaged in the advance of technology: What can we use? Can we jump on the radio? Can we jump on TV like CBN? [W]hat platform can we jump on? And if a pastor’s called to use those platforms, we want them to be equipped to use them well.”

In a move that could reignite one of the most controversial policies of his presidency, President Donald Trump is considering a sweeping new travel ban that would block or severely restrict entry into the United States for citizens from as many as 41 countries.
The proposed ban, which would be broader than the travel restrictions implemented during Trump’s first term, is currently under review by top diplomatic and security officials, according to sources familiar with the matter quote.
The draft proposal divides the countries into three categories: a “red” list, whose citizens would be completely barred from entry; an “orange” list, which would impose selective restrictions, particularly on non-business travellers; and a “yellow” list of nations given a 60-day deadline to address security deficiencies or risk being placed on a more restrictive list.
A new ‘red’ list
At the core of the proposed plan is a “red” list of 11 countries whose citizens would be outright banned from entering the United States. According to officials, this list includes Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.
The list would be a stark extension of Trump’s earlier efforts to block entry from predominantly Muslim nations, as seen in the travel ban he imposed during his first term.
The final version of the list remains under discussion, as officials from the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, and other intelligence agencies review the recommendations.
More targetted restrictions
In addition to the total bans, the proposal outlines an “orange” list of 10 countries for which travel would be restricted but not completely cut off. Citizens of these nations — Belarus, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Turkmenistan — would face stricter vetting procedures and mandatory in-person visa interviews.
Affluent business travellers from these nations might still be permitted to enter, but immigrant and tourist visa holders would be subject to stringent scrutiny.
Notably, the inclusion of Russia on the “orange” list raises questions about Trump’s broader foreign policy stance. Throughout his presidency, Trump sought to improve relations with Russia, often to the dismay of critics who pointed to Moscow’s human rights abuses and interference in US elections. The proposed restrictions could signal a shift or a new attempt to balance public opinion with security concerns.
A ‘yellow’ warning
The draft proposal also includes a “yellow” list of 22 countries given 60 days to address perceived security deficiencies in order to avoid restrictions. These countries — largely in Africa and the Caribbean — include Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Dominica, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, São Tomé and Príncipe, Vanuatu, and Zimbabwe.
The Trump administration has cited concerns that these nations fail to adequately share information about travellers with the US or have lax security practices when issuing passports, which could allow individuals from banned countries to exploit loopholes. The yellow list offers these countries a narrow window to cooperate with US authorities or risk being placed on a more restrictive list.
The proposed travel ban marks a return to one of Trump’s signature policies. In his first term, Trump issued a travel ban that initially targeted seven predominantly Muslim nations. The ban sparked legal battles and protests across the US, and federal courts blocked its early versions. However, a revised version of the ban was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018, allowing the administration to restrict entry from eight nations, six of which were Muslim-majority.
Soon after taking office, President Joe Biden revoked the travel bans, describing them as discriminatory and inconsistent with American values. “They are a stain on our national conscience,” Biden had said at the time.
But with Trump back in the White House, a return to the travel ban is being framed as essential to protecting US citizens from security threats. In an executive order signed in January, Trump instructed the State Department to develop a list of countries whose “vetting and screening information is so deficient as to warrant a partial or full suspension on the admission of nationals.” The draft report is expected to reach the White House in the coming days.

ഗ്രീന്കാര്ഡിന്റെ പേരില് എല്ലാ കാലത്തും അമേരിക്കയില് കഴിയാമെന്ന് കരുതേണ്ട: ജെ.ഡി വാന്സ്

ഗ്രീന് കാര്ഡ് ഉള്ളതുകൊണ്ട് മാത്രം എല്ലാ കാലത്തും അമേരിക്കയില് താമസിക്കാമെന്ന ഉറപ്പൊന്നും വേണ്ടെന്ന് കുടിയേറ്റക്കാര്ക്ക് മുന്നറിയിപ്പുമായി വൈസ് പ്രസിഡന്റ് ജെ.ഡി വാന്സ്. ഇസ്രയേല്-ഹമാസ് യുദ്ധത്തില് പാലസ്തീനെ അനുകൂലിച്ച് കൊളംബിയ സര്വകലാശാലയില് നടന്ന പ്രകടനത്തെ നയിച്ച വിദ്യാര്ഥിയെ ട്രംപ് ഭരണകൂടം അറസ്റ്റ് ചെയ്തിരുന്നു. അറസ്റ്റ് ചെയ്യപ്പെട്ട മഹ്മൂദ് ഖലീല് ഗ്രീന് കാര്ഡ് ഹോള്ഡറാണ്. ഈ പശ്ചാത്തലത്തിലായിരുന്നു ജെ.ഡി വാന്സിയുടെ പ്രതികരണം.
അമേരിക്കയില് സ്ഥിരതാമസത്തിനുള്ള അനുമതി രേഖയാണ് ഗ്രീന് കാര്ഡ്. പെര്മനെന്റ് റെസിഡന്സി എന്നാണ് പേരെങ്കിലും ആജീവനാന്ത സുരക്ഷ ഗ്രീന് കാര്ഡ് ഉറപ്പ് നല്കുന്നില്ലെന്ന് വൈസ് പ്രസിഡന്റ് വ്യക്തമാക്കുന്നു. ഈ രാജ്യത്ത് ഒരാള് വേണ്ടെന്ന് നമ്മുടെ പ്രസിഡന്റും സ്റ്റേറ്റ് സെക്രട്ടറിയും തീരുമാനിച്ചാല് പിന്നെ അയാള്ക്ക് ഇവിടെ തുടരാനുള്ള യാതൊരു അവകാശവുമില്ല. നമ്മുടെ സമൂഹത്തില് ആരെയൊക്കെ ചേര്ക്കണമെന്ന് തീരുമാനിക്കുന്നത് അമേരിക്കയിലെ ജനങ്ങളാണ്. അഭിപ്രായ സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യത്തേക്കാള് നമ്മുടെ രാജ്യത്തിന്റെ സുരക്ഷയാണ് പ്രധാനമെന്നും വാന്സ് കൂട്ടിച്ചേര്ത്തു.
അതേസമയം ഹമാസ് അനുകൂലിയാണെന്ന് ആരോപിച്ച് മഹ്മൂദ് ഖലീലിന്റെ ഗ്രീന് കാര്ഡ് റദ്ദാക്കാനുള്ള നടപടികള് ഡൊണാള്ഡ് ട്രംപ് ഭരണകൂടം ആരംഭിച്ചതായാണ് റിപ്പോര്ട്ട്. ഇതേകുറിച്ച് സംസാരിക്കവേയാണ് വാന്സ് ഇത്തരത്തിലൊരു പ്രസ്താവന നടത്തിയത്. പ്രതിഷേധിക്കാനുള്ള അവകാശങ്ങള്ക്ക് മേല് ഭരണകൂടം നടത്തുന്ന കടന്നുകയറ്റമാണ് മഹ്മൂദ് ഖലീലിന്റെ അറസ്റ്റ് എന്നാണ് ട്രംപ് വിരുദ്ധര് ആരോപിക്കുന്നത്. ന്യൂയോര്ക്കില് നിന്ന് അറസ്റ്റ് ചെയ്ത ഖലീല് ഇപ്പോള് ലൂസിയാനയിലെ ഇമിഗ്രേഷന് വിഭാഗത്തിന്റെ കസ്റ്റഡിയിലാണ്. അഭിപ്രായ സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യത്തിന് മേലുള്ള കടന്നുകയറ്റം ചോദ്യം ചെയ്തതിനാലാണ് ഖലീലിനെ നാടുകടത്താന് ശ്രമിക്കുന്നതെന്നാണ് ഖലീലിന്റെ അഭിഭാഷകന് ആരോപിക്കുന്നത്.

US Vice President JD Vance has said that green card holders in the United States do not have an indefinite right to stay in the country and can be deported at the administration’s discretion.
His remarks amid US President Donald Trump’s push for the ‘Trump Gold Card’, a new investor visa programme allowing foreigners to gain US citizenship by investing $5 million in the country.
Commenting on the possible deportation of a Columbia University student over his pro-Palestinian activism, Vance said that the decision is ultimately about whom the American public wants to include in the national community.
“For a green card holder, even if I might like that green card holder, he does not have an indefinite right to be in the United States of America,” the Vice President said in an interview with Fox News.
A green card grants lawful permanent residence and allows holders to live and work permanently in the US as long as they do not commit any actions that would violate immigration law.
