What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The first time I listened, I cried. So I kept listening. And now I’ve binged every single episode. The guests are interesting, the storytelling is superb, and the sound design takes me back to the scene of the story! And sometimes, the stories of God’s goodness make me cry.

Rob Vischer · Mar 2025

These diverse stories of how God draws people to Himself, encourages me to keep praying for those who don’t know Him yet. These stories show me how God knows what each person needs to be drawn to Him. This podcast keeps me praying for people who still need to know Him to know the Spirit is still working even when those being drawn don’t share what is going on in their hearts.

Work of His grace · Oct 2024

Listening to the powerful testimonies from Compelled has been such a blessing and encouragement. As a consumer of many Christian podcasts which I enjoy and am encouraged by, I find something special and different in Compelled. The production quality of the episodes coupled with the thoughtful, sober approach in telling these stories is unlike anything else I’ve encountered. These testimonies engage not just my hear and my soul, but also my mind. It’s incredibly refreshing. So grateful for this ministry.

Nandi S · Oct 2024
