On any given weekend, there are thousands of people attending Compass. That means there are thousands of different stories waiting to be heard. Over the next 4 weeks, we're going to tell the stories of 4 people who call Compass home. This week we'll talk with Debra Nash. Before we started recording, Rory described Debra as "the Holy Spirit in a human form" and as soon as she started talking, we knew he wasn't exaggerating. She provides warmth, insight, and encouragement to all of us through her story. We hope you enjoy hearing from Debra as much as we did.
