  • Inspirational!!!

    I have listened to almost every episode of the compelled podcast and every one of them has an encouraging message and an inspirational story. It is obvious that God is real and that He has the ability to turn every situation into blessing. I can’t wait for the next episode to be released so I can hear another testimony of God’s grace! Many thanks to Paul and Sarah, His humble stewards 🙏🏻

  • Hard Story, But God is Good

    In episode 103 with Christi Lawson, she shares the horrific car accident and the loss and injuries that all involved had to deal with and work to heal.

    But, the rest of the story reveals how her family clung to what they had just been learning more about in a conference they had just attended and the head knowledge became healing heart knowledge.

    Well worth a listen.

  • Episode 49

    I started listening to these stories a few weeks ago and was really loving them, until I listened to Episode 49. In this episode Ron marries a “MAN” named Don. I can’t listen anymore. This is not biblical.
