The Pain of Suicide vs. The Hope of Christ - Lori Apon, Part 2
This is Part 2 of Lori Apon’s story. Make sure to listen to Part 1 first. Lori met Bobby Apon, the love of her life at a Christian concert. He was one of the founding members of NewSong, an upcoming Christian music group. Bobby was young, charismatic, and good-looking, and quickly swept Lori off her feet. After a romance and engagement that seemed straight out of a fairytale, they were married. But at the wedding altar, both Lori and Bobby were in bondage to sin. Lori carried an eating disorder, stemming from her desire to be in control. And Bobby was addicted to lust and pornography. Both of them loved Jesus and wanted to be free... but it was a struggle for both of them... especially for Bobby, who was always on the road with NewSong, performing Christian concerts. No one in the band knew what he was going through, and not a soul in their audiences listening every night were aware of Bobby's inner turmoil that haunted him. But as Lori would discover, as painful and devastating the consequences of sin may be, even greater is the power of God to restore the lost and redeem what was broken.

Annette, on the other hand, barely stopped to think if God had rules at all, 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. https://compelledpodcast.com/episodes/frank-annette-loria #59 My Marriage Was Crumbling - Barbara Mula: Barbara’s life growing up was chaotic at best and scarred with abuse.

Hormoz once chanted "Death to America!" in the streets of Tehran, but after doubts crept into his heart about Islam and his wife found the Lord, he was forced to reckon with what he really believed. Today, he now runs a satellite broadcast into his former homeland sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, 24/7. ...and that's just a taste! From drugs and porn, to missions and miracles, this season we'll hear from people who've seen God heal the sick, transform the addicted, and rescue the lost. And that's all coming... on October 4th! So put it on your calendars, tell your friends, and join us in 2 weeks, for Season 4 of Compelled! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Season 3 Trailer
Hey Compelled listeners! So it's been a while since you've heard from us. In fact, we published our last episode in October of last year. (so yeah, basically a year ago) We were hoping to release Season 3 this past summer and even made an announcement about that… but then a little pandemic hit the world and like everyone else, our plans were changed for the rest of the year. But the good news is that we’re back on track and actually have a date for our third season! Thanks to the generosity of donors and our monthly members , Compelled, Season 3 is releasing on February 2, 2021 ! What You Can Expect We're two-thirds done recording episodes for Season 3 (and I’m actually recording another episode this Saturday) and have been hard at work editing. We've got some crazy, amazing stories that we cannot wait to share with you, including: A girl who transgendered herself into a "man" for 10 years until she found Christ and placed her identity in Him. A rebel looking for life's answers deep within Hinduism and the New Age, but who came up empty-handed every time, until he encountered Jesus. Identical twin brothers who chose to lose their reality TV show instead of renounce their Biblical beliefs. A human rights attorney from Communist Romania who came face-to-face with an assassin sent by the government to kill her for defending Christians. Unable to defend herself from her assassin, she did the only thing that she could think of... she shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We’ll be sharing all of these stories (and more!) in Season 3. Behind-the-Scenes Zoom Call Next Wednesday (Nov. 4th) With Kathy Brace But while you're waiting for Season 3 to release, I want to invite you to come and join a special behind-the-scenes Zoom call, on Wednesday, November 4th at 8pm CST , with one of our guests from Season 2, Kathy Brace. As you may recall, we shared Kathy’s story in episodes 22 and 23 . Kathy grew up without a father and was looking for love in all the wrong places. She gave up her first child for adoption, and aborted another - all in the midst of a string of failed relationships. But Kathy’s life was suddenly and totally transformed when she was introduced to Jesus who offered her the love and acceptance that no one else could provide. Then, 52 years after she gave up her son for adoption, she found him, and was able to share with her son all that God had done in her life, before he passed away unexpectedly just months later. Today, Kathy is a midwife in Wichita, Kansas and has helped thousands of women deliver their babies. Her j

Yet she was constantly plagued by doubts like: Why couldn't she heal her own children when they were sick? Why couldn't she heal her own body? Why didn't financial prosperity come to her even when she had the “faith” that it should?
