In our last episode, we heard Part 1 of Jeff Parker's story. Jeff was the Vice President of a thriving Christian media company, but he secretly harbored a gambling addiction. This is the 2nd part of his story, so if you haven't heard the 1st half, stop right now and go listen to that.
To fund his secret gambling addiction, Jeff began taking shocking measures to hide his activity.
Jeff knew he should submit his life to Christ, but the chains of sin ran far deeper than even he realized. The only One who could set him free... was the One who had already broken the chains of sin.

Frank Loria was a self-righteous "good guy" who thought 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.

But when his identity was stripped away, his idyllic life soon followed. He became addicted to painkillers, alcohol, and pornography - and everything he held precious was destroyed. Only a Savior could bring him peace.

Hey Compelled listeners!
So it's been a while since you've heard from us. In fact, we published our last episode in October of last year. (so yeah, basically a year ago)
We were hoping to release Season 3 this past summer and even made an announcement about that… but then a little pandemic hit the world and like everyone else, our plans were changed for the rest of the year.
But the good news is that we’re back on track and actually have a date for our third season! Thanks to the generosity of donors and our monthly members, Compelled, Season 3 is releasing on February 2, 2021!
What You Can Expect
We're two-thirds done recording episodes for Season 3 (and I’m actually recording another episode this Saturday) and have been hard at work editing.
We've got some crazy, amazing stories that we cannot wait to share with you, including:
We’ll be sharing all of these stories (and more!) in Season 3.
Behind-the-Scenes Zoom Call Next Wednesday (Nov. 4th) With Kathy Brace
But while you're waiting for Season 3 to release, I want to invite you to come and join a special behind-the-scenes Zoom call, on Wednesday, November 4th at 8pm CST, with one of our guests from Season 2, Kathy Brace.
As you may recall, we shared Kathy’s story in episodes 22 and 23.
Kathy grew up without a father and was looking for love in all the wrong places. She gave up her first child for adoption, and aborted another - all in the midst of a string of failed relationships.
But Kathy’s life was suddenly and totally transformed when she was introduced to Jesus who offered her the love and acceptance that no one else could provide. Then, 52 years after she gave up her son for adoption, she found him, and was able to share with her son all that God had done in her life, before he passed away unexpectedly just months later.
Today, Kathy is a midwife in Wichita, Kansas and has helped thousands of women deliver their babies. Her journey is a powerful and tangible story of redemption.
So! If you have questions you want to ask Kathy, or you want to learn more details about her story that we weren't able to cover on the podcast, or you want to hear more about the new stories that we’ll be sharing in Season 3, then this is a perfect opportunity. Plus, you'll get to meet other Compelled listeners and members of our team.
To join our Zoom call, RSVP at CompelledPodcast.com/Zoom. Again, that's next Wednesday, November 4th at 8pm CST.
That's the update for now. We can't wait to share Season 3 with you, and I hope to see you on our Zoom call next Wednesday!
-Paul

Gracia Burnham was serving as a missionary in the Philippines when she and her husband were kidnapped by Muslim terrorists. They spent over a year in the jungle as hostages enduring hardships of all kinds, including constant shortage of drinking water, near starvation, and 17 gun battles.
Even more difficult than the physical challenges were the questions Gracia wrestled with. How could God still love her? How could she forgive those who had so horribly mistreated her?
God worked in miraculous ways through Gracia’s time in captivity to change her heart, all for his glory.

Just when things in Kathy’s life seemed to be looking up, a water skiing accident and a heart-wrenching divorce brought her to a place of complete desperation.
Equipped with the hope of Christ, Kathy pressed forward. In a beautiful act of redemption, God used Kathy’s terrible birth experiences and even her abortion to eventually lead her into her current profession of midwifery.

Season 2 of Compelled is launching on June 18th!
Compelled is a weekly podcast with unique stories from the Kingdom of God told by the people compelled to live for Him.
We have a brand new lineup of guests during Season 2 including:
- Hannah Overton, a mother of 5 who was falsely accused of murder and sentenced to life in prison. Yet instead of growing bitter, she chose to thrive where God had placed her.
- Ryan Dobson, the son of Dr. James Dobson. Even though Ryan grew up in a loving Christian household, he still had significant struggles in his life, including divorce, depression, and doubts about whether or not God even existed.
- Gracia Burnham, a missionary to the Philippines who was kidnapped by Muslim extremists and held hostage for over a year. During that time her faith was stretched to the limits.
All of these stories from Christians from all walks of life and more will be shared during Season 2 of Compelled.
Visit our website, https://CompelledPodcast.com and join our email list for exclusive updates and notifications whenever we release new episodes.
Tune in, next Tuesday, on June 18th!
