“I Don’t Need Your Help”
As we grow older, we become more and more independent. That’s maturity. But the kingdom of God is an upside down kingdom where maturity is relying more and more on God. Something Shawna learned a bit more of stuck in a snow drift.
Perry got a text from his 15-year-old friend Colton: “I hope you are doing well. It’s been a while.” Perry’s first instinct was to give him the “I’ve got it all together” response. Instead he shared about his right now wrestling and got of bucketload of wisdom about how God works really good things in our wrestling!
It’s easy in life to be overwhelmed by “all the things.” In our faith walk Jesus says only one thing is needed. Then, Perry knew he needed prayer on Sunday morning and his pride was causing him some hesitation. Instead he went low and received way more than he expected!
Last, DJ Hernandez from Portland started out strong in his faith as a boy and teenager. No one would have guessed that he would go off the deep end in college. Filled with shame, pride, and anger he stepped into the Pacific Ocean to drown himself. It’s DJ’s story of redemption and rescue.

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.
