Welcome back to Hidden Gems, a series where we are revisiting some of our favorite conversations from our library. 
In this episode, we're looking back at a conversation Joe had with Bahar, a member of Elam's Training Team, who spent her teenage years and young adulthood in Iran, struggling against the control that society sought to exert on her and all women. And how, by encountering Jesus, she realized there is a God who values and empowers women to live bold lives. 
Just before we meet Bahar, Chrissy chats with Grace, a member of the podcast team, about what this episode means to her, and why it has renewed significance in light of all that has happened for Iranians this year.
