In this powerful and heart-wrenching episode, I sit down with my dear friend and war reporting buddy, Steven Nabil, an Iraqi Christian father who shares his harrowing journey of surviving war as a child and years later enduring a terrorist attack by ISIS at Istanbul airport while returning from his honeymoon. Steven opens up about the lasting trauma of these experiences and how it has shaped his family’s life. With resilience, he discusses his passion to preserve the ancient language of Jesus, and what fatherhood means to him in the face of death threats. Steven reflects on raising his son in a world shaped by Assyrian, Iraqi, and American values, all while striving to be the most present, loving, and selfless father he can be in the face of continued death threats as he exposes critical issues within the fabric of Iraqi society. This is a story of survival, faith, and the unbreakable bond of family with lots of wisdom along the way!
