His Mom Went to Prison, His Dad Walked Away — Brandon's Story

Brandon Petty didn't grow up with a roadmap to health. Born to a 16-year-old mom, raised in apartments and motel rooms, he cycled through stepfathers — most of them carrying addiction, violence, and wounds of their own. Between ages 8 and 11, he was sexually abused by three different people. The one stepfather who actually felt like a dad walked away one Friday afternoon and was never seen again. His mom went to prison. His biological father died of a sudden heart attack just as their relationship was beginning to heal. Today Brandon is the pastor of Generation Church in Portland, Tennessee. But this episode isn't about the pulpit. It's about the pain that came before it — and the God who refused to waste any of it. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Teaser: Abused from ages 8–11 by three different people 1:45 Born in Nashville; raised all over Middle Tennessee 2:30 Teenage mom, 2-3 jobs, raised by women 3:15 Mom married six times by age 25 4:00 First stepfather: kind but wounded 5:20 Second stepfather: cocaine dealer, violent, sexually abusive 6:30 "I looked over my shoulder everywhere I went" 7:15 Tom Cruz: the stepdad who felt like a real dad 9:00 Tom's alcoholism — disappearing for weeks 11:45 Meeting his biological father at 15 13:00 "I don't need this guy.
