In this conversation, Khosro Isfahani, research director at the National Union for Democracy in Iran, breaks down the dramatic developments unfolding on the ground in Iran—from targeted assassinations of key leaders to cracks in security forces.

Khosro explains why the removal of powerful figures is more than symbolic, how the regime’s structure is being tested like never before, and whether its leadership is truly replaceable—or nearing collapse.

Greg breaks down why this proposed corridor through southern Armenia could reshape the South Caucasus and Central Asia. We explore how a short stretch of road—reviving an old Soviet rail line—might link Azerbaijan to its exclave of Nakhichevan, open a land route from Central Asia to the Mediterranean, and create new incentives for peace in one of the world’s most historically tense regions.

We also discuss:

  • Why previous peace efforts failed for decades

  • How U.S. strategic interests and the Trump administration’s regional diplomacy accelerated negotiations

  • The unexpected role of Central Asian states and Kazakhstan’s recent foreign-policy pivot

  • Why Armenians are divided on the plan—and why economic opportunity might shift the debate

  • How increased Western involvement could change Armenia’s future

From regional security to trade routes, from the Abraham Accords to Armenia’s economic prospects, this episode uncovers the layers behind a project that could transform the geopolitical map.

Join us for a timely and nuanced conversation about conflict, commerce, and the hope for peace and prosperity in the South Caucasus.

Five red heifers from America landed in Israel in September 2022 to much fanfare, celebration, end-times speculation and fears of Jewish take over of the Temple Mount. Now more than two years old, the cows are ready to be sacrificed. The red heifers are an important part of Judaism, so why is a group of Christians condemning other Christians for their role in the heifers' arrival and possible (imminent) sacrifice?

I recorded this in April, and to my knowledge, there has not yet been a sacrifice. But the clock is certainly ticking!!

He gives us firsthand accounts of the situation from impending famine to the deaths of relatives and congregants of his church there. And what’s more, he declares its time for peacemakers to rise up on both sides. Yalla.

Check out Hanna’s ministry, Christian Mission to Gaza, here: website

I highly recommend his book, Pastor from Gaza available on Amazon.

]]> false Amid a charged and polarizing debate surrounding the recent war going on in Gaza, I spoke with someone from the Gaza Strip, Hanna Massad — an evagelical pastor born and raised in the Strip and now living in America. 

He gives us firsthand accounts of the situation from impending famine to the deaths of relatives and congregants of his church there. And what’s more, he declares its time for peacemakers to rise up on both sides. Yalla.

Check out Hanna’s ministry, Christian Mission to Gaza, here: website

I highly recommend his book, Pastor from Gaza available on Amazon.
