Inside Iran: Lana Silk on the Underground Church, the Islamic Regime, and the Fight for Freedom

By Peter Demos Published on June 27, 2025

Peter Demos interviews Transform Iran CEO Lana Silk about the work her organization does to build digital church networks in Iran, train new leaders for the church and community, and its plan for infrastructure changes to help rebuild Iran when the regime falls. As Silk exposes the brutal reality of life under Iran’s Islamic regime she highlights the bold rise of the underground church, and explains that only a small minority still clings to the regime out of fear or religious loyalty. Most Iranians — especially the younger generations — actively reject the oppressive government and long for freedom, fueled by glimpses of Western life through banned media.
