Hi, I'm Annabella, a wife and mom from Arkansas, and I'm so thankful for this podcast

because I haven't found another one like it. It is very deep and tells powerful stories without

hiding ugly details, but it always exalts God and His mercy towards us. These stories are very

diverse, so I promise there's an episode there that you will be able to relate to and that you may need to hear, and you will be hooked too.

So enjoy today's episode.

I was on the streets of Tehran.

I'm Paul Hastings, and you're listening to Season 4 of Compelled, a seasonal podcast using gripping, immersive storytelling, to celebrate the powerful ways God is transforming

the lives of Christians around the world. Last week, our guests were Fred and Casey Weymouth.

Fred was once a successful insurance salesman, but had become a homeless drug addict completely

matter how many recovery programs she went to, she always landed back at the bottom of a bottle.

Both of them were desperately looking for their next fix, but could never find what they really

wanted, until they fixed their eyes upon Jesus. You can hear that story by tuning into last week's episode

with Fred and Casey Weymouth. Today, our guest is Hormaz Shirit, who once chanted death

to America in the streets of Tehran. But after doubts crept into his heart about Islam, he was forced

to reckon with what he truly believed about God. His conclusions and ensuing actions would eventually lead the Iranian

government to branding him as an enemy of the state. So lean in and join us for another compelling

story from the kingdom of God. Last year, I met with Hormoz at a nondescript location near Dallas, Texas.
