D.C. Franklin is the founder and director of Compass Waters, a ministry devoted to helping people discover God's presence in the ordinary battles of everyday life.

After serving as a pastor and spending more than three decades as a project engineer and engineering leader in industry, he has learned that life's greatest spiritual struggles are often found far beyond the walls of a church. They are found in homes, workplaces, marriages, families, hospitals, waiting rooms, and in the quiet moments when people wrestle with fear, disappointment, doubt, regret, loneliness, and unanswered questions.

Holding a Master of Divinity degree, D.C. writes from the conviction that biblical faith should speak honestly to the realities people face every day. His reflections are shaped not only by years of ministry, but also by marriage, family life, professional leadership, personal failures, unanswered prayers, and God's persistent faithfulness through each season.

He believes many people today long for a deeper relationship with God but struggle to connect what they hear on Sunday with what they experience on Monday. Through Scripture, thoughtful reflection, prayer, and honest self-examination, his writing seeks to help bridge that gap by pointing readers back to the compassion, wisdom, and transforming grace of Jesus Christ.

The Grace Between the Battles was written as a companion for anyone seeking to recognize God's presence in the middle of real life. Whether facing seasons of waiting, family struggles, workplace pressures, uncertainty, or personal growth, D.C. invites readers to slow down, listen for God's voice, strengthen the relationships that matter most, and discover that God's grace is often found not only after the battle but in the middle of it.

Through Compass Waters, his mission is simple:

Walking with Real People Through Real Struggles Toward a Very Real God.
