Hosted by Paul Hastings, Compelled-Christian Stories & Testimonies offers a space for profound, personal narratives that go beyond theory. This podcast operates in seasons, each episode built around immersive storytelling that pulls you directly into the experiences of believers from various walks of life and corners of the globe.

These aren't polished anecdotes but raw and true accounts of struggle, grace, and conviction. You’ll hear how a lived faith in Christ moves people from simple belief into action, shaping their choices, relationships, and view of the world.
