“Is There a God Who Loves Me Despite Everything I’ve Done?”
The thought “If you knew what I’ve done you wouldn’t love me” has entered Shawna’s mind a time or two. It drives her to believe she has to keep her sins hidden. But, what if being vulnerable about our worst moments allows us to be loved beyond our wildest dreams?
Jessie Minassian, blogger, speaker and author of Your Brightest Life, welcomes you, and especially the teenage young woman in your life to be honest and vulnerable with God and others.
Jessie says that the teenage girls in our lives are asking the same question. “Is there a God who will love me despite what I’ve done?”
They also are looking for answers to questions about boys, friends, health, mindset and more.
Jessie joins Perry and Shawna to share wisdom for the teenage girl in your life: Integrating faith into every area of life. What that deep sense that we were created for more points to. And how we can be a safe person a teenage young woman will open up to.
Also, in this episode, reading your Bible on the daily may not feel like it’s making much of a difference upfront, but over the long haul meeting with God as we read His Word shapes how we think and live.

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.
