The Masons | A Make God First Story

on 2024-08-07

Summary

Our faith journey took a dramatic turn when we made a commitment to truly put God first in every area of our lives. As a family, we stepped out in faith—choosing to tithe fully and trust Him with our finances even as we cut our income in half. Though initially fearful, we experienced overwhelming provision, from unexpected financial blessings to peace in our hearts. Our son, born with heart issues, was miraculously healed, and our faith deepened. Through prayer, serving in ministry, and committing to a faith community, we have witnessed God’s faithfulness in every aspect of our lives.

Cody and Bailey share an inspiring story of how making God first in their life has opened the door for breakthrough, provision, and deep spiritual growth!

BEHIND THE SCENES: How Compelled Got Started

Compelled Podcast

on 2024-02-01

Summary

I am Paul Hastings, and together with my wife Sarah, we share our personal journey of faith that transformed our lives. Raised in Christian homes—Austin for me and Wichita for Sarah—we encountered doubts, experienced the power of prayer, and found assurance in Jesus Christ. God guided us to leave old paths and answer a divine call to launch the Compelled Podcast. Through trials, divine intervention, and the inspiring power of testimony, our story testifies solely to Jesus and His saving grace. I give all glory to Him for every breakthrough that led us to this ministry.
