We’re Living in a Stressed-Out World
Stressed? Yeah, we get it. No one gets a pass on stress. We can’t eliminate stress from our lives. But we can build resilience and reduce anxiety.
Dr. Charles Stone, pastor, and author of Stress Less: 9 Habits from the Bible and Brain Science to Build Resilience and Reduce Anxiety joins us for a conversation about real life, real stress, and real peace.
From simple breathing techniques to having the right people around you Charles shares real-life steps for building resilience in our lives through relatable stories that might have you laughing out loud.
Also, in this episode, if you’ve ever wondered if your doubts will keep you from heaven, you’ve got hear the powerful last words of a sister in Christ who recently went to be with Jesus.
And Perry’s roommate his sophomore year at Olivet told him at the start of the year, “I’m an atheist.” Later that fall Reggie was saying, “You’re not going to believe this!” And the thing that happened in between was the work of God!

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.
