Imagine giving your whole heart to faith, knowing it could cost you your family. Reina Pathan’s story is not a headline; it’s a decades-long wrestle with God, obedience, and fear. Raised in a devout Muslim home, Reina was taught never to question—but conviction and hunger for truth led her into a transformative encounter with Jesus, even as she pleaded, “Just don’t take my family away.”

This episode uncovers what following God genuinely costs: the boundaries Reina set to protect her new faith, hard conversations with loved ones, and the silent ache for connection after leaving everything familiar. Her journey is a testament to choosing truth over comfort, holding on to hope, and learning how to love her family without compromise.

Key takeaways:

— How faith and family can collide, forcing us to choose what (and who) matters most

— Why questioning inherited beliefs is painful—and necessary

— The unique challenges faced by Muslim-background Christians, including secrecy, safety, and setting boundaries

— The spiritual and emotional cost of leaving one’s community for a new faith

— Reina’s practical advice for those navigating faith, doubt, and divided families

What would you risk to live what you truly believe? Are there boundaries or relationships you feel called to re-examine after Reina’s story?
