0:00.0	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.
0:13.8	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
0:21.5	music, then make sure to listen to some of our newer content that we've released as well. And now,
0:26.8	on to the show. Then we went through searches that would be more kind of going into a prison,
0:34.7	no cameras, no phones, nothing that could document what was happening
0:39.2	to Terry or provide support for her. And then walking in, there's armed law enforcement
0:44.8	with one simple instruction, arrest the mother if she does anything to keep her daughter alive.
0:55.5	I'm Paul Hastings, and you're listening to Compelled.
0:58.6	Real people telling true stories about God's compelling love working in their lives.
1:04.1	I'll tell you more about Compelled and share a sneak peek of next week's episode right after our story.
1:09.9	I'll also share an opportunity at the end of our show for listeners to win an autographed

1:23.2	Our guest is David Gibbs, the founder of the National Center for Life and Liberty, and an attorney
1:28.0	who's been called to a very unlikely mission field, the American justice system.
1:34.2	As David will share, all humans are created in the likeness of a Creator God who has placed
1:39.0	a calling on all Christians to care for the least of these.
1:43.5	We hope you enjoy.
1:53.2	I'm blessed to be here with David Gibbs, the third, an attorney. And David, can you just go ahead and introduce yourself and tell us a little about who you are? Well, Paul, absolutely.
1:57.8	I'm an attorney. I'm an old Duke Law grad back from 1993. And I go into a legal
2:04.6	missionary work. And a lot of people think lawyer and missionary, how do you mix those up?
