Finding Peace With Your Past
To embrace the present you need to make peace with your past. Dr. Ming Wang learned this first hand when the challenges of bringing a blind child from darkness to light made him come face to face with his own darkness.
SIGHT, starring Greg Kinnear and Terry Chen, follows the true story of Dr. Ming Wang, a Chinese American who defies all odds to become a world-renowned eye surgeon. Drawing on the grit he gained growing up in the Chinese cultural revolution of the 70’s, Dr. Wang sets out to restore the sight of a blind orphan.
Dr. Wang shares how his heart was moved from atheist to Jesus follower, how faith works with science (not against it), and the incredible advances in technology and their impact on eye surgeries today.
Also, in this episode Shawna shares how God is showing her through Proverbs and personal reflection the idolatry of self-worship.
And Perry shares, “If my life was always easy, I don’t think my desire for Jesus would be that deep.” From Perry’s life and the apostle Paul, we have a conversation about the transformational power of hardship.

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.
