I knew he liked me. I kind of could tell he liked me, and I didn't want to encourage it at all.

But I did tell him. I said, if you can't get a date to one of your fraternity things or something, I'll go with you.

And so he'd call me and say, I really tried to bring me to my boyfriend's bar afterward and dropped me off and I'd be there the rest of the night doing my drugs and party in and

Hey, I'm Andrew Likosi from Troy, Michigan and I am currently in the military stationed at joint base Lewis McCord, Washington.

I love listening to compelled because when I am on a long or hard run,

listening to the podcast and hearing about all the amazing, encouraging work God is doing through his people

enables me to push through any discomfort I am feeling.

Sometimes it works too well, and I have to stop my run to recover from the outpouring of emotion,

but it is great nonetheless.

To everyone out there listening, keep getting after it. Enjoy today's episode.

I'm Paul Hastings and you're listening to Compound, where we use gripping, immersive

storytelling to bring Christian testimonies to life. In our last episode, we heard from Hayden Jernigan, who grew up in a home marked by chaos.

Unsure of who loved him or who wanted him, Hayden pursued everything he thought would bring him

happiness. Yet he was unaware that actually his entire life, there was someone who was pursuing him.

Again, you can hear that story by tuning in to our previous episode with Hayden Journeyin.

This week, our guests are Frank and Annette Lauria.

Frank was a self-righteous good guy who believed he could earn God's favor by following the rules.

Annette, on the other hand, barely stopped to think if God had rules at all, and instead

indulged in whatever she felt like.

Both of them had defined God to be whoever they thought he was, but they'd soon find

out that he was entirely different.

So gather around, lean in, and join us for this compelling story from the kingdom of God.
