“Don’t Even Think About It!” – Perry
Perry had just fouled Chris hard in a hoops game. Chris made a move toward him but Perry had the ball in his hands. That’s when he said to Chris, “Don’t even think about it.” It’s a conversation about all the ways we try to get the verdict that we’re a good person by our performance!
Shawna has a distinctive desire to protect herself, to be safe. Because of people who have hurt her she’s leaned to protect her heart. A few years ago she realized that she had transferred that hurt onto her relationship with God. She’s learning to trust Him more.
Shawna longs to follow so closely to Jesus that she’s covered in the dust that Jesus kicks up with his sandals. To be so close that everything of him gets baked into us. Yet we often wander from following close and become upside down with no way to right ourselves. What do we do then?
When Shawna was little she climbed up on her dad’s lap when he was sitting in his recliner. That was such a safe place where she knew she was always welcome. Whether our dad was the worst or the best we all long to be loved. God wants to reparent us – to love us the way we long to be loved.

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.
