A SHOW FOR YOU “Where is God?” From the frontlines, families apply timeless faith in Parent Compass—the Telly Award-winning Christian television series. Across episodes, with differing issues, races and income levels, in Parent Compass mothers and fathers talk about their own upbringings and pasts, marriage and life management, child rearing–and faith . . . all with undaunted candor. POINTING TRUE NORTH “Is there hope when things are spinning out of control?” “There are times when you don’t think you will make it through the storm,” one father admits. Another comment: “Sometimes when I rate myself . . . can you go below zero?” Parent Compass Founder & President Natalie Jones, a mother of five, knows this one-of-a-kind series offers the hope today’s mom and dads need. “Parents feeling overwhelmed and isolated now have true stories of God’s peace amidst endless difficulties,” she said. Families featured in Parent Compass range from the Pitts, whose four daughters include Alena, the jump-roping child star of hit movie, WAR ROOM . . . to Mark and Shanell Rusk, raising a blended family of 11 in a Habitat for Humanity home they helped build. Audiences will meet the Kos, teaching fine art and raising kids out of one suburban home, and the Perron family, where "Mr. Abs of Steel" father with contracts nationally with Time Warner and ESPN gives them up for God when set free from drug addiction. Parent Compass families cover issues and triumphs from “How do I raise this little girl?” to teen arguments, from job loss to forgiveness and peace. “I did not have a relationship with my parents.” “Are we going to serve the Lord if our baby dies? “We knew it was God.” “I was definitely blaming myself that I wasn’t bonding with him.” “We see so many people in our age group falling away. . . . We are becoming a more tight-knit family . . . from what we are learning about Christ’s love, about church . .” “Parent Compass parents open their homes and families to let their lives encourage, inspire and empower,” Jones said. “No one has to parent alone,” Jones added. “God, Christ and the Holy Spirit are waiting for us to ask for help.” Jones is founder and president of Parent Compass, the Christian Life & Family not-for-profit series. The family episodes are produced and directed by Nathan Todd Sims of Fusion Productions. Based in Irving, Texas, the over 30-year-old company producing film, television and corporate projects has 37 Telly Awards. “For encouragement in daily family life, meet real parents in real homes, working to walk with God. Parent Compass helps us walk together in the right direction.” Mobile app version: 6.18.1
