Here is Hedieh Mirahmadi Falco discussing her life as a Muslim, her conversion to Christianity, and her insights into the war in Iran. I came across her testimony video while listening to one of Pastor Bob Kopeny’s podcasts. After I briefly researched her background, I discovered that she has a lot to say about what the enemy has been doing in Iran until now and what God is doing to bring spiritual deliverance. It helped me to pray with more focus and conviction about what is going on with the war in Iran today.

Mirahmadi was raised in a privileged Iranian-American household in Beverly Hills. When she was young, her family didn’t practice the Muslim faith as her father didn’t adhere to it and wanted to be an American and follow its ways. In college, however, she discovered that she had a Muslim background and decided to discover its teachings and follow its ways. She pursued a disciplined practice of Islam, including praying five times a day, wearing a hijab, and fasting. At the same time, she built a high-profile career in counterterrorism, advising five U.S. presidents on national security and Islamic extremism.

Despite her professional success and religious dedication, she felt a persistent sense of emptiness. Her journey toward Christ began when she felt spiritually lost after removing her head covering and being told by her religious leaders that she was destined for “hellfire.” Searching for God outside Islam, she encountered an online video by a Christian pastor that emphasized a personal relationship with Jesus. While praying in her room, Mirahmadi said she heard a voice of Christ speaking to her. This encounter led her to read the Bible, which she felt came alive in a way she had never experienced before. She eventually accepted Jesus as Lord and was baptized at the same church whose video she had watched online.

Currently, Mirahmadi ministers as an evangelist and author, dedicated to sharing the gospel through several platforms, including Resurrect Ministry, her YouTube channel, the Living Fearless Devotional podcast, and other speaking engagements. She is married to Andy Falco, a former Anaheim police officer.
