Shownotes

What turns a 12-year-old girl into someone willing to die as a suicide bomber? Our guest today, Işık Abla, knows firsthand. Born in Istanbul, Turkey, she was radicalized into extreme Islamism as a child — trained to see killing Americans and Jews as a holy calling.

But her story didn't end there. After coming to America, Işık encountered a different kind of freedom — one rooted not in violence, but in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is a powerful conversation about radicalization, redemption, and the transforming love of God. Don't miss it.
