"When we pray, 'your kingdom come, your will be done,' that's the craziest part...that's where we have to come to grips with God's plan."

— Paul Hastings

Today's Episode: We're so excited to introduce Paul Hastings, whose life's work is telling stories about God's kingdom on the Compelled Podcast. Today, he shares a snippet of a story about what it looks like to seek and follow God's will in our suffering. Listen in to the story of Kathleen and George Lansing, a mom and a dad whose baby son is on death's doorstep. You won't want to miss what God does both in the life of their son and in their own hearts.

This month's memory verse: "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." —Matthew 6:10
