Before you read a single page,
let us ask you something.

You are the one carrying silence. You have been in rooms full of people and still felt completely alone — because the wound you carry doesn't have a name anyone would believe.
You left the church — and haven't gone back. Not because your faith died, but because something happened there that no one ever acknowledged. You're still bleeding from a pulpit that never apologized.
You are still waiting for a father. Not just a man in the biological sense — but someone who would look at you and say: I see you. You belong. You are enough. And he never came.
You are fighting a battle you didn't start. The patterns, the pain, the poverty — they were there before you arrived. You're doing everything right and still feel like you're drowning in something generational.
You are the one in the hospital room at midnight. Or the one staring at the ceiling, alone with a grief you don't have the words for, wondering if God is even paying attention.
You have been told — by circumstance, by silence — that you are too broken. Too far gone. Too complicated. Too much history. That God can use other people, just not someone like you.

If any of that is you — this book was written for you.
Not around you. Not about you. For you.

About the Book

There are stories that entertain. There are stories that inspire. And then there are stories that find you.

Mark Titus was born into rejection before he could speak a word in his own defense. His father doubted his very existence. His mother carried wounds that quietly became his. Poverty pressed against every dream he dared to form. The church that should have equipped him instead taught him to perform. And when the accumulated weight of rejection, spiritual warfare, generational patterns, and personal failure finally became too much to bear — he made a vow. He was done with God.

God had other plans.

What follows is one of the most honest accounts of divine pursuit ever committed to paper — a journey through fatherlessness, promiscuity, deliverance, betrayal, and grief, all the way to an unlikely career in investigative journalism that became the unexpected training ground for a global broadcasting ministry. It is the story of a man who ran as far as China before the stillness finally became quiet enough to hear a whisper that changed everything.

Fatherlessness Poverty Spiritual Warfare Deliverance Investigative Journalism China Global Ministry Divine Pursuit Restoration

Raised by Pain, Called by Purpose is not just a memoir. It is evidence — raw, verifiable, undeniable evidence — that no pain is wasted in the hands of God.

Meet the Author

Mark Titus

Broadcaster · Award-Winning Journalist · Christian Communicator · Founder, Kingdom Sound Radio International

Mark Titus does not write about brokenness from a comfortable distance. He writes from inside it — from the fatherlessness that shaped his early years, the poverty that defined his world, the spiritual battles that nearly consumed him, and the vow he once made to walk away from God for good.

What emerged from that wilderness was not what anyone expected. Mark became an award-winning investigative journalist, whose reporting earned national recognition — a testament to the grace of a God who puts people in rooms they were never qualified to enter. Today, he is the Founder and General Manager of Kingdom Sound Radio International, a global Christian broadcasting platform committed to spreading the gospel, encouraging the broken, and creating space for authentic faith, healing, and truth.

He has dedicated his voice — and his life — to one message: your wounds do not disqualify you from God's purpose. They are often the very evidence that a purpose exists.
