Hey, it's Paul here again. Just a quick reminder that today's episode is one of our very first episodes that we recorded and released, and it's before we started using immersive storytelling techniques like sound design and music and narration.

Now, of course, the story itself is very powerful and very relevant to today. But if you enjoy those types of elements like sound design and narration and

telling true stories of God's compelling love working in their lives.

We're starting the first week of our podcast by releasing three episodes right now all at once to give you a taste of what's to come.

I'll tell you more about Compelled and share a sneak preview of our next episode right after our story.

But for now, I hope that you're encouraged by the story of Linda Strom,
