    Protected from Pain, All Parts

    God Told Her to Close Her Business and "Just Be a Mom" | A Story of Debt, Loss RestorationCass Brown had an eating disorder, a lost scholarship, and a voice in her head saying she'd never be good enough to be a mom. Kevin walked into a nightclub in red pants, and she told her best friend, "That's my man — I'm going to marry him."What followed was an unplanned pregnancy, a restaurant opened four months before COVID against her husband's counsel, four years of zero profit, mounting debt in her name, and the loss of a baby. Then, while brushing her teeth one morning, Cass heard the Lord say: close the restaurant, and for one year, just be a wife and a mom.What happened next — a landlord forgiving a year of back rent, a son healed of a six-year bowel disorder in a single week, a "restoration baby" named Olivia, and a bike crash that should have been excruciating but wasn't — is the reason this family can say God's definition of success is better than theirs ever was. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER: How condemnation can block healing — and the one verse that broke it What it looks like to hear God and get the timing wrong (and be loved anyway) Walking through miscarriage together instead of blaming each other Why honoring your husband's "not yet" is not weakness Praying over a child's pain in real time — and watching swelling go down Why God wants your family prosperous before He wants your bank account prosperous Breaking generational cycles of depression through prayer as a household"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." — Romans 8:1If you're a parent buried in a business, a debt, a diagnosis, or a season you didn't choose, this one is for you.

    Protected from Pain, Part 1

    From Bulimia Bondage to Marriage: Cass Kevin's Story"That's my man. I'm going to marry him." One glance across a crowded nightclub — and Cass knew. But behind that instant spark was a woman battling bulimia, body dysmorphia, and years of chasing approval in all the wrong places. Behind Kevin was a guy who almost didn't go out that night at all.In this episode called “Protected from Pain” Part 1 of 3 of Parent Compass, Cass and Kevin open up about the messy, honest road that led them to each other: an eating disorder that started young, a softball scholarship lost to one bad decision, a faith that felt more like condemnation than love — and the slow, real transformation that happened when grace finally broke through.They share how an unplanned pregnancy became one of their greatest gifts, how they learned to raise two - different from each other - but equally amazing boys, and how God's love replaced years of shame with genuine freedom.If you've ever felt "not good enough" — for love, for motherhood, for grace itself — this story is for you.

    Jesus Journey, Part 1

    Born During Apartheid, She Heard God's Voice as a ChildBorn in Rhodesia during apartheid and raised in a Hindu home, Trupti grew up facing racial segregation, and a violent home life. At age 4, she was forgotten at home when her father had a near-fatal suicide attempt. It was then she first clearly heard God’s loving presence call out to her. When 12 years old, she heard a voice tell her she would leave her country and be sent "into the world." Her journey took her from Zimbabwe to London to America, through a painful marriage, and ultimately to a life-changing encounter with Jesus.“Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, ‘You are a God who sees me.’” Genesis 16:13In this Parent Compass episode as well, Trupti's children share what it's been like growing up with a mother who survived so much — and how her faith and resilience shaped their family.In her book, Esther’s Soul: God’s Love for Such a Time as This, available on Amazon, Trupti Desai poetically shares her journey from the dusty floors of an abandoned storefront in Zimbabwe to the stage at the Miss India Pageant and beyond. Heart-warming verse paints an image of overcoming obscurity, rejection, pain, abuse, and other entrapments. And the seeker within, always searching for the one thing, the one Person who can fill the emptiness sings these modern-day Psalms now that she has found a relationship with Jesus.A Poem by Trupti: releasing her from bondage to freedom in Christ“If the Son (Jesus Christ) sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36 NIVTRAPPEDMy life like a bird trapped in a dark cageNo idea of how to be freeHard to breathe. Cannot move. StuckSurviving in the only world I knowGod whispers in my ear fly little bird the door is open. You can be freeI look out for a moment. My heart leaps as it envisions a future that could beBut I am scared to leave as the cage comforts meIt is the only world I know. I resist. God persists.Years of whispers. Tempted by the open door.I escape the cage for moments, only to be attacked once more.Back to the cage the place that comforts meStuck not free, but the only world I know.Gods voice calls louder and says little bird be freeHow God how? Please stay with me.It is all an illusion. You are deceived.My mind transforms and now I seeI trapped myselfFly bird fly be free.I leave the cage. My life expands. I can breathe and I am free.God whispers in my ear be the eagle you were meant to bePossibilities are endless. A sense of power runs through me. I soar intothe sky and the world discovers the true me.I once was trapped and now I am freeTo have a conversation about Christ or to ask for prayer text or call 817-760-2643, or click the blue chat button in the right lower corner on parentcompass.tv.To be emailed information about Christ fill out the form at parentcompass.tv/know-christ.Subscribe for more true stories at parentcompass.tv/subscribe.
