    Islam, New Age and the Road to Christ with Marc Papineau

    Islam, New Age & the Road to Christ with Marc Papineau Guest: Marc Papineau (Iron Ministry) In this compelling episode of Rekindled Faith, Melanie Beerda sits down with Marc Papineau to hear his powerful story of redemption. Raised in a culturally Catholic home, Marc’s spiritual journey led him through New Age practices and into Islam—until he and his wife encountered the transforming truth of Jesus Christ. That encounter reshaped their lives and gave Marc a new mission: to share the gospel with courage and compassion. Today, Marc is actively involved in men’s ministry, is currently pursuing Bible seminary studies, and is passionate about discipleship and evangelism. He co-founded Iron Ministry with his wife, Ade—who grew up in a Muslim household in Indonesia. Together, they have given their lives to Christ and now combine faith-based apparel, testimonies, and community outreach as a way to spark gospel conversations across cultural lines. Marc is also an advocate for Crescent Project, a ministry that equips Christians to share the hope of Jesus with Muslims in truth and love. With a special heart for reaching men who feel caught between cultural pressure and spiritual hunger, Marc helps them rediscover their God-given identity and purpose in Christ. This conversation is for anyone who’s ever searched for meaning, wrestled with competing worldviews, or longed to see how God can transform even the most unlikely story into a testimony of hope. 📚 Resources & Links 🌐 Learn more about Iron Ministry: ironministry.ca 📸 Instagram: @IMBrand.HQ 🤝 Explore Crescent Project: crescentproject.org Rekindled Faith Podcast is a ministry with the goal of encouraging those struggling with faith to become deeply rooted in Christ.
