“My Pride Was Ruining My Relationship with Shawna” – Perry
Pride can ruin a good thing. Perry admits it was ruining his relationship with Shawna.
So often when we feel offended, we get defensive and power up. But in scripture we’re told, “If you’ve got it in you, get along with everybody”. Do we have it in us to get along with everybody?
It was an April evening of Perry’s sophomore year at Olivet. He was driving back to campus from his girlfriend’s house when he saw a farmer driving his tractor in his field and it made him think, “My life needs to change.”
Within days of being diagnosed with a brain tumor Shawna’s friend courageously shared she was choosing to praise God whether she was healed or not. Like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, we are not alone in the fire. It’s Jesus WITH US who gives us the courage to say, “Even if…I will praise God.”
Lastly, financial advisor, Rob West, of Faith and Finance Live, imparts wisdom regarding lending money to friends, budgeting that will last beyond most New Year’s resolutions, and whether or not now is a good time to buy a house.

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.
