0:00.0	Hey, my name is Brady Smith. I am from the Great Pacific Northwest, and I'm a website designer. I love listening to Compelled because it is probably one of the most inspiring podcasts that I have ever found. I hope you enjoy today's episode.
0:17.9	The car was so mangled that they couldn't get close to him. The car was basically horseshoe
0:25.8	shaped. And the sheriff who showed up at the accident, he had declared Pete a fatality.
0:34.0	I'm Paul Hastings, and you're listening to Compelled, a seasonal podcast with unique stories from the kingdom of God told by the people compelled to live for him.
0:44.1	Last week, we heard from Julian Weber, a regular father from suburban America who had everything the American dream could offer.

1:46.2	of campaigns, score thousands of leads and, okay, fine, it's a lot of sweat. Unless you have HubSpot's
1:51.3	AI-powered marketing tools to help you do all that and more. Get started at HubSpot.com slash marketers.
1:58.1	I sat down with Doug and Celah Helms at their home in Fort Worth, Texas just a few months ago.
2:02.6	They were married in 1983 and have lived in Fort Worth ever since.
2:06.6	They'll be celebrating their 38th wedding anniversary later this year,
2:09.6	and Doug has served as a pastor for 22 of those years, and they have four adult children and several grandchildren.
2:15.6	As a high schooler, I knew two of their sons through speech and debate
2:19.6	and have kept up with their family off and on over the years.
