From the frontlines, families apply timeless faith in Parent Compass—the three time Telly Award-winning globally broadcast Christian television series also available online.
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..
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 the hit movie, WAR ROOM . . . to Mark and Shanell Rusk, raising a blended family of 11 in a Habitat for Humanity home they helped build.
“Parent Compass parents open their homes and families to let their lives encourage, inspire and empower,” Jones said. “On the Parent Compass website, meanwhile, parents may request prayer. “No one has to parent alone,” Jones added. “God, Christ and the Holy Spirit are waiting for us to ask for help."

Some comments:
- This is absolutely worth the time to watch it!! Saw it posted by a fellow teacher on our Christian teachers' forum and it is an amazing blessing. Children and family, One of our greatest ministries. I'm thankful for this new generation of parents who are doing it so well! - Alison
- This really got to my heart. I thought I was pretty hard core after being a police officer for 28 years. I think I needed this. - Scott
- I came upon this post I think by accident or maybe not by accident rather for a purpose to give me hope in every day struggles and to know that despite the struggles God walks with me every step of the way and it's OK if I fall because God is there to help me get back up. This was very inspiring and I have so far seen episodes in Season 1 as well. - Lisa
- What a wonderful family. I love how you speak about your children and husband. All giving the glory to God for what you have. You are true blessings as parents, spouses and servants. - Michelle
- What a testament this family and their faith is. AMAZING Glory be to the high. Hold this family in your loving arms, Father, and put them where they need to be to teach the world of your mercy and love. - Sherri

Comments -
- God's original design included families as foundational to his plan. We have a very real enemy seeking to erode that foundation: he tactically uses disfunction, dissonance, and disengagement which creates divisions-gaps in the foundation--weakening the mortar that keeps us connected. Parent Compass is a vehicle of God's commission to fill the gaps! By His Holy Spirit, He is using the power of story to repair the foundation of families for His glory and our good. Each narrative shores up the piers of faith and beams of hope-solidifying a firm foundation for generations to come. - Lindsey
- This is moving‚ No words, what a Testimony! - John
- What a blessing to see this faith story today! Filled my soul, taught me. Ministered to me! Thank you so very much! - Heather
- Thank you I needed to hear this. I've been going through a lot and only God knows everything. I'm sitting here alone every day by myself. I've been in relationship to relationship - husbands, I've been married. Now I'm a widow. I've dated six years straight. The guy walked away from me took everything I own. I'm sitting here alone not knowing anybody or anyone. Just keep me in your prayers. Thank you for this testimony. It's beautiful! - Charlotte (Watched "Being Set Free" - about single incarcerated mom)
In reply to Charlotte (From someone she did not know on Facebook): We can text anytime. I understand how you feel. I feel alone myself even being with someone. You're not alone. God sees everything. - Bertha
Needs
Funding for Production of Season 7 and some post production of Season 6.
With all the television broadcast networks, the next season needs to be provided to air. Like church sermons given and inspiring each week, similarly Parent Compass through donations to production airs true stories of Christian families living life through struggles to a hurting world. Donors send out the Guest Host families like missionaries into the world in 6 languages available at a touch of a button into hearts, homes and phones.
Growth of the ministry is needed with full time positions desired to coordinate guest host families, production, donor contact and communication, social media, marketing, online store, app and website, prayer line among more. Parent Compass seeks to grow online presence and digital community to serve more.
