Building Our Identity Around Something Besides God
It’s something Perry admits he has done and does. But because God has put eternity in our hearts He the only One who can give us the joy we long for.
Shawna describes following Jesus as a daily dethroning of self. It’s pride that causes us to think that our own thoughts and ideas supersede God’s. Only humility can correct that.
We often cry out to God when we’re scared and we don’t know what to do. But in areas where we have confidence we tend to rely on our own understanding instead of asking God for advice.
Last, at the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, Israeli soldiers were asking their wives to abort their babies because of their fear of the future.
But now that these soldiers have seen death, they are begging their wives to have those babies. That’s where the Israeli pro-life team Efrat has stepped in.

Perry LaHaie
Perry LaHaie's passion is to know Jesus and make Him known. “I’m all in with Jesus but not all put together. I need Jesus right now as much as I did when I first started following Him!” Perry says. In addition to co-hosting Perry and Shawna Mornings, Perry is a singer, songwriter, recording artist, and advocate for those who haven’t yet heard the gospel, especially those in the Muslim world. Born and raised in northern Michigan, he earned a bachelor’s degree in Communications and a graduate degree in Cross- cultural Communications. Perry also serves with Frontiers, a worldwide ministry to Muslims. Perry and his bride, Teresa, call Holland, Michigan home. They have two adult children, Kali and Taylor, and Taylor’s bride, Bri.
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.
