Welcome to Part XIII of our Brain Drain trilogy's finale about how to undo the damage of harmful influences and brainwashing. You can't fill a God shaped hole with an earthly relationship and you shouldn't "settle" within a regular relationship either. Brandi didn't know what all had truly happened to her because of brainwashing and she didn't know how to have a relationship with God yet. Brokenness can really be exploited when you don't know what it is. Brandi tries to figure out what career would work for her, again not knowing about having a "calling." She learns that you shouldn't settle for a career either. It is important to pay heed to the passion you're drawn to.

Find out how "Fedora Drummer" came about and how God used that to solidly link Shawn and Brandi together.

Welcome to Part XI of our Brain Drain trilogy's finale about how to undo the damage of harmful influences and brainwashing. Both Shawn and Brandi were feeling very alone during their very intermittent communication while each of them were dealing with their own issues at hand.

But, the thing was, was that the old tactics would never completely work because God freed her from it.

Fight lies with truth and repeatedly stick to what you know is right… Hear how Brandi finally stood up to her captor and didn't back down because of fear.

Welcome to Part X of our Brain Drain trilogy's finale about how to undo the damage of harmful influences and brainwashing. Within a week of the break up with her captor, Brandi texted Shawn to reconcile what happened 3 years prior. She wanted him to see and know that things had really changed and he played a big role. Shawn very prayerfully and carefully accepted the invitation to come visit her. That visit was very pivotal in that it began breaking down the barriers between them.

Both got busy with family things soon after and their communication lessened, but that wasn't the end….
