0:00.0	When I was nine years old, I was going to a school called MacDonald 14, which was over in Jefferson Avenue.
0:08.9	Remember, I'm living with a militaristic mother, and so I'm expelled from school for being bad.
0:15.0	And I'm giving a note, you cannot come home until you get your mother to sign this.
0:19.5	Now, I am in dread because this is
0:22.6	something that is going to be a real problem in my life. My mother had a temper that
0:28.6	she could explode in a moment and whatever and slap the living out of you. She had some
0:34.6	issues. So I went home and I was literally trembling with fear.
0:40.3	Hi, I'm Sophia St. John from Southern Arizona and I'm a recent high school graduate.
0:51.3	My mom and I love listening to Compelled and hearing people share
0:55.0	their personal testimonies through their own words and expressions. Since we spend a lot of time
0:59.9	driving to and from school, Irish dance practice, and piano lessons, we often start playing an
1:05.7	episode of Compelled the moment we get in the car. Soon, I'll be a freshman at Hillsdale College.
1:11.6	I'm sure my mom and I will be able to listen to a lot of Compelled on our 28-hour drive up there.
1:17.6	I hope you enjoy today's episode.
1:21.6	I'm Paul Hastings, and you're listening to Compelled, where we use gripping, immersive storytelling to bring to
1:28.1	life Christian testimonies from the kingdom of God, told by the people compelled to live for him.
1:34.3	In our last episode, we heard from Jessica Carpenter, who from an early age experienced the weight
1:40.4	of family challenges, and with limited outlets for her emotions started down a path
1:45.5	of self-harm. But God saw Jessica in the midst of her struggle and was eager to meet her
1:52.5	in her time of need. Again, you can hear that story by tuning into our previous episode with
1:58.4	Jessica Carpenter. After today's story, we only have two more episodes left in our season, and I guarantee
2:05.9	you don't want to miss those.
