“God Was Next to Me, and I Didn’t Even Know It” - Shawna

At 4 years old, laying in the grass in the middle of the ballfield Shawna thought, “If I died no one would care”. That was the first time she thought her life didn’t matter.  When that memory came flooding back as an adult she asked, “Lord, where were you?”

Imagine the blood and water flowing from Jesus’ wounded side. It becomes a river of life flowing into the ocean of God’s unfailing love. And when you give your life over to Jesus you are plunged, full body, into this ocean. It’s a deep dive into what it means to be “In Christ.”

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. We know this firsthand. Don’t believe me? Skip your cup of morning coffee and your flesh will let you know how weak it really is. We can, with God’s help, train our bodies to be obedient to the will of God.

It was Good Friday at Perry’s church. Every heart was tuned to Jesus. Perry says, “I felt the love of God again come pouring into my heart by the Holy Spirit. But as much as I need these experiences, they’re not just for me, they’re for the world!”

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.
