This show is part of the Proclaimed Podcast Network, thoughtfully crafted, faithfully told,

stories that proclaim his name. More at Proclaim.fm.

Today is Monday morning, December 22nd, 2025, and you've tuned into an episode of

compelled to keep you company or to remind you of the greatness of God, or perhaps because

a friend or a family member suggested that you check out our show.

But whatever it is that brought you here, thank you for tuning in.

We are so grateful that you're listening and that so many of our listeners and perhaps you yourself have partnered with us financially to keep compelled stories coming.

As of right now, this very moment when I'm recording, we've raised 61% of our $80,000 end of year goal.

Which if you've been paying close attention, that

means we've almost doubled everything that we've received in just the last three weeks.

Those funds go directly into recording and producing our episodes for 2026. Our goal is to

release 20 episodes in this coming year, 10 in the spring and 10 in the fall.

We've already recorded 19 of those stories, and they are powerful,

asking really tough questions while showing the love of a gracious father.

Like our upcoming story with Brandon, a California dad who took his wife and kids to a family-friendly racing event when a tragic

accident made him question everything. How could a good God let this happen? Or you can listen to Janet,

a brand new Christian who unintentionally joined a cult and blindly followed her leader into more and more bizarre situations

until Jesus made a way of escape for her.

Or you can hear the testimony of Oscar, a militant atheist who loved disproving the existence of God

and poking holes in Christianity.

Until one night, he felt the Holy Spirit whispering in his ear to open his eyes.

We're working to bring you all of these stories and more in 2026 with our first season beginning, Lord willing, in February.
