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

music, then make sure to listen to some of our newer content that we've released as well. And now,

on to the show. I remember distinctly being at the bar one night and thinking about the

difference between the night before I was at this Bible study

where I'm like praying and being this religious guy and then you know the next night I'm

party guy totally different guys and I realized the duplicity of my life that I was really living

two different lives and being two different people and really being a hypocrites in both

contexts at this

point.

Hi, Paul Hastings, and you're listening to Compelled.

Real people telling true stories about God's compelling love working in their lives.

As you may have already heard, 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 peek of our next episode right after our story.

For now, we're excited to share with you the story of Aaron and Holly Mayfield.

You'll hear how Aaron's life underwent

radical transformation as God took him from a jail cell for selling drugs into ministry as a pastor.

And God used none other than the very woman who would eventually become his wife. We hope you'll be

blessed by this beautiful story of God's redemptive work in Aaron and Holly's lives.

Aaron and Holly, thanks so much for joining us today.

I've been really looking forward to this interview for quite some time, actually.

And Holly, I'd like to start with you, actually.
