Pt1 Fathers Saving Daughters Beautifully Broken Randy Hartley

August 19, 2022

Randy Hartley talks of how life circumstances beyond their control caused his daughter and his dear friends to be "Beautifully Broken". This true story is a movie and memoir, a vivid, first-person reminder of how deeply involved God is around the globe. In it, you find the Mwizerwas, who narrowly escaped genocide in Rwanda in 1994, and the Hartleys, who found redemption after helping their teenaged daughter heal from the trauma of sexual assault.

Beautifully Broken is a powerful story of redemption and a moving depiction of how God interweaves our stories with others’ for His glory.

Michael W. Smith, Grammy Award-winning Music Artist

Long before the two families' paths crossed, William and Ebralie Mwizerwa fled Rwanda after 100 harrowing days of violent conflict within the nation’s borders. During this time, more than one million Rwandans were brutally murdered by the militia. It was a genocide that Rwandans have never forgotten, and one William and Ebralie were fortunate to have survived. From this harrowing journey, the Mwizerwas settled in Nashville, TN and began providing resources to help other refugees through their non-profit, Legacy Mission Village.

Unbeknownst to the Mwizerwas, their paths would soon cross with Nashville natives, the Hartley family. The Hartleys were dealt a devastating blow when their teenaged daughter, Andrea Hartley, became the victim of sexual assault. This traumatic experience caused her to turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms and rebel. As the Hartleys tried to help their daughter reclaim her life after this unthinkable incident, Andrea found hope largely through serving children and families in need at Nashville’s Legacy Mission Village, the non-profit refugee support center founded by the Mwizerwas.

After meeting, the two families' stories became even further intertwined on a trip to Rwanda. In preparation for meeting her sponsor child in person, Andrea and her family invited their new friends the Mwizerwas to come along to Rwanda as translators. During the visit, the Mwizerwas reconnected with family and friends, yet tragically discovered unspeakable horrors their family members had suffered in the years they’d been apart. This included the revelation that a relative was involved in William’s mother’s death. This forced William into a spiritual quest to forgive that would alter his perspective and change his faith forever.

Through this beautifully textured saga of a father fighting to save his daughter and another father fighting to save his family from genocide, we are reminded again and again of God’s redeeming providence in the midst of even the most unspeakable circumstances and the mysterious blessings in being beautifully broken.

All parts: Life Circumstances; Getting Fired & Book MD Bible Speak; Naomi & Ruth, Miriam & Hannah, Mary & Martha, & Deborah; You Gotta Go to the King Shannon Bream is also the author of the number one New York Times bestseller The Women of the Bible Speak. Shannon is the chief legal correspondent for Fox News Channel. She has covered landmark cases at the Supreme Court and heated political campaigns and policy battles from the White House to Capitol Hill. Shannon describes herself as a sinner saved by grace, daughter of the King, ever grateful for his mercies that are new every day. She deals with politics, law and all the news of the day. Her follow-on book, Mothers & Daughters of the Bible Speak, is on Lessons on Faith from Nine Biblical Families. “Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family—and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today. Go to ParentCompass.TV/Subscribe to subscribe for shows and more.

Anchor Fox News @ Night Shannon Bream Speaks - "You gotta go to the King!! But if you go to the King without being summoned, itcould be a death sentence. If you approached in the court without being asked to come, he could literally order you to be executed on the spot. And so, she didn't want to do it! Mordecai says, 'Don't think if you don't intercede that you are going to be safe.' And that is where we get that phrase where he says to her, 'Maybe you are put there for 'such a time as this'."Shannon Bream is Anchor Fox News@ Night and #1 New York Times best selling author for "Women of the Bible Speak". In thisParent Compass Chat, she walks us through the trauma of Queen Esther, who must decide whether to risk her life to save her people; and the difficulties of Bathsheba, who loses her husband and first child. Shannon tells us that God is never without overwhelming love for us in the midst of our struggles. She prays for God to help us live for his good purpose that the Bible tells us God has already mapped out, if we choose it. "For we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works that God has planned in advance for us to do."
