Facing the Corner to The Chosen – ALL PARTS – Derral Eves
Hear how Derral Eves goes from facing the corner to The Chosen. Derral Eves is Executive Producer of The Chosen TV series and a YouTuber with billions of views. Yes, with a “b” billions.Constantly in trouble and standing facing the corner almost daily in the third grade. Then, a lot of friction when a teenager. Is there no hope? Or has God 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 didn't even know existed and it led to doing things that people said were 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 a 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 EvesHear the backstory behind The Chosen that broke the all-time crowdfunding record with 10 million dollars raised. The Chosen is a television series about the life of Jesus Christ where the viewer identifies with the Bible characters as if they were today.“Know this. If we are going to impact the world there is no way we can impact It ourselves. But together we can. I believe that is what The Chosen is. Yes, it is a TV show, but it is much more than a TV show. It’s a movement. A movement to discover Jesus. If there is ever a time in the world that we need Jesus, it is today.” – Derral EvesFor shows and more subscribe at parentcompass.tv/subscribe or download the Parent Compass App.

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.
