    Building A Better Community: Amanda's Baháʼí Faith Story
    2026/04/21
    Amanda opens up about her faith journey to the Bahá’í Faith, which she joined five years ago after growing up in a home with Christian and Buddhist parents and identifying as an atheist. She describes how a youth conference in high school introduced her to the Bahá’í focus on unity, community building, and service, shaping her sense of purpose and leading her to stay in Calgary. Amanda explains Bahá’í origins in Persia (1844) and its aim of the unity of mankind and religions, then highlights local initiatives like children’s classes, the Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program, and institute courses. She discusses shifting from engineering to global development studies with a goal of social work, meaningful interfaith conversations at university, the importance of community support, advice for young changemakers, and spiritual habits like prayer and reliance on God.

  • From Syria to Humanitarian Leadership: Shadi Martini's Story

    From Syria to Humanitarian Leadership: Shadi Martini's Story
    2026/03/24
    Shadi Martini shares his story as a Syrian aid worker in Bulgaria who found a mattress for an elderly refugee couple and was later thanked with an emotional hug. The conversation shifts to the guest’s background growing up in diverse Aleppo, attending a Christian school as a Muslim, and how Syria’s conflict pushed him into secret medical aid while managing his family’s hospital amid severe regime brutality. Martini describes fear, trust, moving his family to the U.S., and faith-based motivation to act. They discuss interfaith cooperation, including being approached by Israelis, advice to stay humble, building friendships across religions through openness and honesty, hope from trusted mixed-faith teams working in places like Gaza and Syria, and closing advice to be genuine, step outside comfort zones, value community over money, and believe good deeds are rewarded.
