Then, a lot of friction when a teenager. Is there no hope? Or has God has made this child for a good purpose no matter what it seems like? From Derral Eves' story we can realize to continue in faith and guidance of the Lord, for there is hope as parents, even when we might feel like giving up."For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10"My parents have been supportive from day 1 of trying to help me understand who I am; my relationship with God, also my relationship with others, and what I am meant to do here on earth. I can honestly say because of their mentorship and friendship I was able to discover Jesus and I was able to discover a world I did not even know existed and it lead to doing things that people said was impossible. It helped me establish a routine and a mindset that I could be used in different aspects to really build up the Lord's kingdom." - Derral Eves"Little did I know being a teenager most of the friction was me. 'Cause being a teenager I had no idea the world actually existed outside of Darrel Eves. It wasn't until having couple life moments of discovering Jesus and realizing what Jesus has done for us and being redeemed and being put on a path of what it means to be a follower of Jesus that I discovered what type of parent I wanted to be." - Derral EvesTo support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1494/29

"We go through our life trying to hide our scars. So people have asked me many times, how could you put your personal story out there. If it was broken, I wouldn't, but being beautifully broken... We try to hide our scars, but there are other people that have been scarred as bad as us. I think back to the Bible after the crucifixion when Jesus came from his resurrection and he met his disciples for the first time, what's one of the first things He did? He showed them His scars. He didn't show them the scars to remind them of the pain. He showed them the scars to remind them of his victory over that pain. Not to compare myself to that, but why do I show the scars of our family? Because it is to remind people, to let people know that there is a victory over that pain. There is a victory over those scars. And it is a beautiful one.Sometimes you might feel lost. But I promise you, when you feel lost, God is laying a trail you just can't see yet. So persevere." - Randy HartleyONE FAMILY ESCAPES GENOCIDE IN RWANDA,WHILE ACROSS THE WORLD, ANOTHER FAMILY REELSFROM THE TRAGEDY OF DARK SECRETSULTIMATELY,BOTH FAMILIES’ LIVES WILL BE GRAFTED TOGETHERTHE STORY BEHIND THE FEATURE FILM BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN NOW RELEASED AS A MEMOIR.Beautifully Broken, now a book by Nashville’s Randy Hartley (and featuring Rwandan refugees William and Ebralie Mwizerwa), powerfully illustrates the lengths that fathers will go to save their families, and how God intersects vastly different paths through simple acts.Hear in Part 2 of "Beautifully Broken", this Life Family Chat with Randy Hartley, how scars are overcome with victory.For the book and/or the movie go to beautifullybrokenmovie.com.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.

From this harrowing journey, the Mwizerwas settled in Nashville, Tennessee 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.

Lee Strobel almost died.It caused him to realize, "You want to know for sure what happens when I close my eyes for the last time in this world." (Subscribe for shows and more parentcompass.tv/subscribe)Have you ever doubted Christ's existence? Have you ever wondered what happens after we die? The Parent Compass Chat above covers both. Lee Strobel was a devout atheist that absolutely did not believe in God or Christ. Then his wife became a Christian and was baptized. As an award-winning investigative journalist, Lee set out to prove her wrong. After years on this persistent quest, in the end by the inordinate amount of evidence, Lee convinced himself, not only, that Jesus was God as He claimed be, but Jesus backed up that claim by rising from the dead. Since then, Lee Strobel travels the world telling others the evidence he found. He is the New York Times best selling author of "The Case for Christ" and most recently "The Case for Heaven". In total Lee has authored more than forty books and curricula that have sold fourteen million copies.Profoundly affected by his recent brush with death, Lee turned to what he does best, investigative journalism, to prove with evidence the existence of Heaven.What does he find? Hear the evidence summarized in the Parent Compass Chat above and in his new book and recent movie, The Case for Heaven.The movie, The Case for Heaven, takes audiences on a fascinating journey to find out what happens after we die. Lee Strobel explores the evidence for an afterlife as he addresses mankind’s biggest fear: death. The Case for Heaven was inspired by Strobel’s own brush with death and will challenge, encourage and inspire viewers. The documentary includes interviews with world-renowned pastor Francis Chan, best-selling author John Burke, Evangelist Luis Palau, and more.To make a decision for Christ go to ParentCompass.TV/Know-ChristFor conversation line about Christ or for prayer, text or call (817) 760-2543 or click the blue CHAT button in the right corner of every page of the ParentCompass.TV website.To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1494/29
