What happens when a Muslim woman, rejected and broken, meets Jesus in her darkest hour?
In this week’s podcast episode, Lusine Galadjian sits down with Isik Abla — international speaker, author, and host of Awake with Isik — for a deeply moving conversation about faith, trauma, and transformation.
Isik shares how growing up in a strict Muslim household in Turkey shaped her identity, and how deep rejection and pain led her to the brink of suicide. But just when she was ready to give up, God met her in the most unexpected way — and everything changed.
This isn’t just a story of religion. It’s a story of redemption, healing, and the radical love of Jesus Christ — the kind of love that restores what trauma tried to steal. Lusine and Isik even dive into the difficult history between Turkish and Armenian communities, and how only God can bring reconciliation between nations and hearts.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, unloved, or unsure of who you are… this episode is for you.
