God’s Kindness in a Cruel World
Kindness has fallen on hard times. And it begins to wear on a soul.
Nate Pickowicz, Pastor and author of The Kindness of God: Beholding His Goodness in a Cruel World, says “When we lift our eyes to heaven and consider God’s purposes through the lens of Scripture, we quickly see the many-splendored ways that God demonstrates His kindness to us.”
Also in the podcast, Perry is working through some scary news that just hit him this week. He’s not sure where it’s going to land. So he’s trying to be intentional about rooting himself in God’s promises.
If you woke up tomorrow and your life was perfect what would be different? How you answer that question might reveal an idol in your life.
Then, when Shawna vulnerably shared with a friend that she was feeling overwhelmed, her friend’s response made her feel even more alone. She took it to the Lord in prayer and he responded with the most beautiful truth and it was exactly what her heart needed.
Perry shares, “There are times when painful emotions threaten to sweep me away. And what I’ve learned to do when that happens is not to stuff them andnot to trust them.”

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
