What Are You Fearfully Clinging To?
Shawna used her best parenting techniques, but her son had dug in his heals and would not budge. He was clinging to what felt safe. God invites us to let go of what we cling to and cling to Him instead.
Perry shares, “I’m realizing at this place in my journey that I’ve spent a lot of my life trying to prove to God that I love him. But I’m realizing that it’s not so much about how much I love him but it’s about how much he loves me!”
Shawna shares that she can muster up the will power & discipline herself into certain behaviors but if she has a bad day she’s likely to go back to what she did before.
But when it comes to her and our finances, we can change our behaviors in spending (behavior modification). But what needs to change at a heart level that would impact our giving decisions moving forward? Rob West, president of Kingdom Advisors and Host of Faith & Finance Live on 89.3 Moody Radio takes on that question.
When Jesus was riding in to Jerusalem the people were celebrating what they thought He would do for them. They wanted a warrior King. Jesus came instead as the Prince of Peace. His plans were greater than their expectations. When God doesn’t meet our expectations, maybe He’s up to something better.
Perry shares, “Jesus leads me to use the gifts and talents he’s given me to make a difference in my world. But sometimes I wonder, ‘Is any of it making a difference??’ “ Maybe you feel like this?

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.
