LINDSEY MAESTAS
About this episode

Lily Meschi's journey took her from Iran to the United States as a teenager, and it was a transition that left her feeling like she didn't quite fit in. Despite having lived an affluent life in her home country, she suddenly found herself in a cramped apartment, sharing living space with other family members. The move also led to the painful separation from her father, who had always been her hero. 

Lily Meschi's story also encompasses her conversion from the Muslim faith to Christianity. She vividly describes the pivotal role played by family friends in sharing the Gospel with her. Through their loving witness, she experienced a profound transformation in her heart, as she encountered the love of Christ that led her to embrace her Christian faith.


During our conversation, Lily and I discussed the importance of being bold in our faith, sharing Truth openly and loudly from a heart of love, rather than shying away from sharing our faith with others. This boldness in sharing the Gospel has been a defining aspect of her journey and her commitment to her Christian faith.
