“Don’t Stop Praying” – Matthew West
God hears you. He loves you. And the breakthrough you’re praying for may be just one prayer away so don’t stop praying!
In a conversation with singer and songwriter, Matthew West, he shares what inspired him to write the song “Don’t Stop Praying.”
Matthew also shares what his girl-dad’s heart is going through as he sends his oldest daughter off to college after 18 short summers with her.
And Matthew shares that he recently nearly perished in a car wreck. And talks about the song that came out of that experience, which will be on his new album!
Also, Shawna’s friend shared that it’s easier for her to believe she’s useful to God than loved by God. For Shawna it’s the opposite.
She believes God loves her but struggles to believe God could use her. But they’re both lies. You’re loved AND you matter!
Dr. Mark Jobe, Moody Bible Institute president shares a compelling story of a woman his wife met on vacation in Spain whose heart was tender to the Lord even though she said, “I’m an atheist.” Could we be on the cusp of a world-wide revival?

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.
