Compiled podcast uses gripping immersive storytelling to celebrate God's transformation of Christians

around the world. Listen to powerful testimonies, like Ron Atkins, who at age 19 was sentenced

to 500 years in prison. Ron was filled with rage and began leading a white supremacist

prison gang. Eventually, Ron became so violent that he was locked up in solitary confinement

one who lived it and saw God work through it. Listen to Compiled on your favorite podcast

who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted

as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace
