Already Perfect, But Not Yet
We’ve already been made perfect through Christ’s one sacrifice, and at the same time we are being perfected. God counts us as fully forgiven and righteous and yet it takes a lifetime to become who God says we already are!
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the gap between who you are today and being like Jesus? What if, for today, we chose to love others by listening well and being curious about their lives? In putting others first, we’re becoming a little more like Jesus.
Maybe you find it easy to believe that God is sovereign over the world but struggle to believe He’s working things out for good in your world. If God is sovereign that means He has a plan and placed you where He has you for such a time as this.
As a boy Perry longed to know he was secure in God’s forever family. But he just wasn’t sure. He thought he had to do something heroic to get it. He didn’t know he just needed to throw his trust onto Jesus. And a kid named Lenny helped him do just that.
And, Shawna shares how she learned the 1-word prayer that brought peace to her anxiety.

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.
