We began to think and really just fell under conviction to be honest of, man, if these people that have a false gospel can have the boldness to go around in our community and share a false gospel, who are we not to go and share their true gospel?

I'm Paul Hastings, and you're listening to Compelled, a podcast with unique stories from

the kingdom of God told by the people compelled to live for him.

Last week, we heard from Sheila Booth Booth Albertstadt and her journey into the prosperity

gospel movement and then how God drew her out of it. If you missed it, you can hear that story

by visiting our website compelledpodcast.com. Today, our guest is Robert Harris, a missionary

to Southern Asia. There are many things that make his story different

God's work displayed up close in many ways.

partly because of Robert's youthfulness.

But just like Timothy in the Bible, Robert hasn't allowed his young age to be an excuse

nature of his work and the opposition that's always present,

we chose to use a pseudonym for this episode.

Robert grew up in Austin, Texas, not going to church most of his life.

He was familiar with Jesus, but had no relationship with Christ

until his junior year of high school, which was a very dark time in his life.
