This popular live youth programme, which began in 2015, is presented by members of the renowned praise band Strongholds. The show addresses issues that commonly affect teenagers. For example, an early episode addressed pre-marital sex, with participants giving their different opinions and a guest psychologist presenting the Biblical point of view.
In this programme, the presenters seek to give answers to the challenges Iranian women face today by looking to the example of women in the Bible. Topics have included: how godly women can bring hope in hopeless situations; respecting those who are different; and the role of love in marriage.

It highlights how scientists who are Christians have considered examination of the natural world as an act of “loving God with all their mind” (Luke 10:27), and knowing Him through His general revelation.
SAT-7 provides curriculum based Bible Teaching programmes for those across the Middle East & North Africa who are in church leadership or who have a thirst to learn more but have no access to formal bible training.
