Hi, my name is Rebecca Knudson, and I work as a registered nurse in Rochester, Minnesota.

I love listening to Compel because it is so encouraging to hear how God is working in ordinary people's lives to do extraordinary things through the amazing power of his redemption and grace.

I want to thank my mom for introducing me to this podcast.

I hope you enjoyed today's episode.

And then I heard the thought of someone coming down the stairs

It's my brother and he throws this black trash bag in my. And he says, pack your things, we're leaving.

I'm Paul Hastings, and you're listening to Compelled,

a seasonal podcast using gripping, immersive storytelling

to celebrate the powerful ways God is transforming Christians around the world.

Last week our guest was Deepa Sukumar, a Hindu medical student with a successful career ahead of her,

but who was actually struggling with anxiety, self-worth, and a true lack of peace.

Then one night when she was at the end of her rope and ready to end her life,

God knocked on the door of her heart.

Again, you can hear that entire story by tuning in to last week's episode with Deepa Sukumar.

Today, our guest is Jamie Kent, who as a young child saw his entire world fall apart in just a matter of minutes.

Yet as his earthly family imploded, little did he know that a heavenly father was watching

from above.

So lean in and join us for another compelling story from the kingdom of God.

Last year, I heard from a longtime listener of Compelled who told me about some friends

that he had who he thought would make for some good guests on our show.

One thing led to another, and before you knew it, I was in Tampa, Florida this summer recording interviews.
