After snapping at her son, husband, and an ugly cry, Shawna realized that she was not trusting God in an area of her life and it was coming out sideways on others. If you’ve been coming out sideways lately, it might be worth having a conversation with God about what’s really going on and let Him meet you there.
Perry talks about one of his favorite films, Air (really bad language), starring Matt Damon. It showcases the beauty of American culture and at the same time the fierce idolatry of our culture. The film asks a fundamental question: “Who are you?” While the film gets that wrong it points to the only solid answer to that question.
Does love have a fragrance? Shawna shares how when she smells her mom’s face cream it smells like unconditional love. As she was reading about Mary Magdalene pouring perfume on Jesus and all the events that happened after that….including his death and resurrection…would the fragrance she poured on him been a part of each of those events? If so, without a doubt, that’s the fragrance of love.
Ben needs to apologize to someone he treated disrespectfully. He admits, “I know I need to but right now I’m too proud and afraid to do it.” And last, the fiery trial you may be going through will be turned into a new song to bring hope to those facing their fiery trials.
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 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.
