A Short Guide to Church
We're diving deep into the essence of the local church with Pastor Dean Inserra, author of A Short Guide to Church. Discover why church membership isn't just a tradition but a vital part of God's design for His people. Pastor Inserra unpacks how the local church is more than just a place we attend—it's where we truly belong and thrive as followers of Christ. Together, we explore how prioritizing church can transform your faith and mission in the world.
Also, do you find yourself waiting for the other shoe to drop, even when things are going really well? God is present with us right here, right now. How can you embrace and enjoy today while it’s here?
Then, Ben attends a small church, and like many small churches they struggle to have enough hands. But should they try to steal sheep from other churches, or reach the 40% who don't attend church at all.

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.
