Shawna Woke Up and Realized She Was Praying
You can have an ongoing conversation with the God of the universe. Shawna woke up in the middle of the night in a youth hostel in Vienna, Austria to find she was already praying, while she slept. Is that possible? Is that biblical?
Perry shares the wrestling match he’s been in with God through his journey between the lie of shame and the love of God and how that in the wrestling we come to really know God.
So much of our time is spent regretting the past and worrying about the future. What if we stayed in this moment? What if we lived as if God is with us, right here, right now?
God took a simple song that Perry wrote in northern Thailand in 2000 and has been multiplying it in that far flung place ever since. It’s all about how God makes much of our little.
Maybe you wonder why God put you in your family, or at your work? Why, Lord? Esther was an unlikely queen, but God used her position to save an entire nation. He has a purpose for where he has you too!
Perry talks more about his journey of being healed from shame. An early experience caused him to think his mom was ashamed of him, but found out years later that his mom was actually feeling ashamed of herself.
Last, we have the treasure of the Holy Spirit in these weak jars of clay to show that our power comes from God and not ourselves. Perry experienced this first-hand on Tuesday night!

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.
