I went on to dusty roads, walking on dusty roads in markets, market places.

I picked banana peels, ripe banana pills.

You know, people just eat banana, they eat the fruit and they throw the pills on the road.

So I picked banana pills. I ate ate some and then i put some in my

pocket to bring them home for my mom to eat and that is how we survived i say for you know for

lack of a better time it was object poverty hi i'm lea artman a stay-at-home mom from Cleveland, Ohio.

And one of the things I love about listening to the compelled podcast is being able to hear

people's incredible stories of redemption and salvation.

Whenever my husband and I have people over for dinner, there's one question we always ask, and that's, what's your story?

Whether dramatic and miraculous or simple and seemingly unexciting, our testimonies of the Lord's goodness and grace hold power, and each episode of Compeld is a reminder of that.

My hope is that with every episode you listen to, you would understand more and more the magnitude of power your own story holds. Enjoy today's episode.

I'm Paul Hastings and you're listening to Compeld, where we use gripping, immersive storytelling to bring to live

testimonies from the kingdom of God, told

by the people compelled to live for him.

In our last episode, we heard from Frank and Annette Loria.

Frank was a self-righteous, good guy who thought he had earned God's favor by following

the rules.

Annette, on the other hand, barely stopped to think if God even had rules in the first place,

and instead indulged in whatever she felt like.

Both of them had defined God to be whoever they thought he was, but they'd soon find

out that he was entirely different.

Again, you can hear that story by tuning into our last episode with Frank and Annette
