Staring Down the IRGC: How a Lorestan Gym Owner Became Iran's Unbreakable Christian Voice

Ali Rezaei Majd — is the fearless Iranian fitness giant who stared down the IRGC regime and ignited a firestorm. A towering, tattooed former gym owner from the warrior province of Lorestan, Ali had secretly followed Jesus for ten years in the shadows of persecution. On January 5th, he joined the streets of Doroud demanding freedom — only to watch the Revolutionary Guard forces gun down his friends in cold blood! The very next day, with bullets still echoing, he recorded a raw, defiant video in English. He exposed the regime’s lies, declared that Iranians do not hate America or Israel, and cried out for liberty: “Our voices are silenced… our people are suffering.” That single act of courage went viral — nearly 2 million views in English and almost 10 million in Farsi. The IRGC regime immediately hunted him down. Undeterred, Ali fled on foot, evading capture for days before escaping across the border into Iraq. Now this Christian “sheepdog for the Lord” continues his fight, calling for the jihadi regime’s downfall while offering forgiveness to his persecutors. A powerful symbol of unbreakable faith and fearless defiance.

Is God A Zionist? | Christopher Kuehl & John Enarson | The Doron Keidar Podcast

In a world obsessed with Israel—where headlines ignite endless debate, conspiracy theories swirl, and Christians are pulled into polarized camps—one question cuts through the noise: Is God a Zionist? In this timely and thought-provoking interview, I sit down with Christopher Kuehl, author of the new book Is God a Zionist? Finding God’s Story in a World Obsessed with Israel, and John Enarson, Christian theologian, Evangelical educator, author, and longtime resident of Israel who serves in Christian relations work. Christopher draws from his theological studies, years living in Jerusalem, and a careful examination of Scripture, church history, and today’s cultural firestorms. John brings an on-the-ground perspective from Israel, including insights into Messianic congregations, daily Christian life in the land, and the deeper biblical drama unfolding there. Whether you’re wrestling with evangelical support for Israel, concerned about rising antisemitism masked as anti-Zionism, or simply seeking a biblically grounded perspective free from hype or hostility, this conversation offers fresh clarity. Christopher and John challenge listeners to step back from the noise, return to Scripture, and consider: What if God’s story with Israel isn’t over—but is central to His redemptive plan for all nations?

Israel's Criminal Underworld | The Doron Keidar Podcast

In this episode of The Doron Keidar Podcast, I interview Mike Mazursky (a pen name), a retired professional armed robber whose life story is straight out of a true crime thriller. Born in the Soviet Union, raised in Brooklyn, Mike obsessed over bank robberies from a young age. He meticulously planned and executed his first one in New York at 21, then researched global prison systems to find the “safest” place to operate—leading him to Israel via Jewish ancestry and citizenship. There, he was accused of going on a three year run and was eventually indicted on 5 counts. He shares a rare insider view of Israel’s prison system, the rigid power dynamics among Russian, Jewish, and Arab inmates, and the infamous Russian “Thieves’ Code” that governs criminal hierarchy behind bars.A raw, unfiltered look at crime, calculation, and prison life.Support The Doron Keidar Podcast on Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/cryforzionnMikes info here:Bookhttps://www.amazon.com/Once-Upon-Time-Tel-Aviv-ebook/dp/B0D42GYBVCNelson Rodriguez Jr. | Honor Among Thieves Podcasthttps://youtu.be/FERFuFAXTKE?si=fsjMeyJCmEY5k1cmhttps://linktr.ee/MikeMazursky#TrueCrime #BankRobbery #Heist #ArmedRobber #IsraeliPrison #podcast #israel #BreakingIsraelNews #DoronKeidar #TheDoronKeidarPodcast

The Hidden Operation: Fracturing the Evangelical Heart of Conservatism | The Doron Keidar Podcast

In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into a hidden, long-term operation reshaping American conservatism from the inside out. For decades, evangelical Protestant Christians—representing about 30% of the U.S. electorate and powering the Republican base with biblical conviction, church networks, and strong support for Israel—have been the driving force of the conservative movement. But what if that foundation is being deliberately fractured? Not through policy debates, but through theological demoralization, generational recruitment, and institutional capture. The endgame: a transformed Republican Party with a different spiritual core—one no longer tied to evangelical covenant theology or the Judeo-Christian framework. In this episode I expose the main influences behind it and arming you with the truth to stand against it.
