No Fear on Judgment Day
Judgment Day isn’t top of mind for most post-moderns. But there really is a day that God will call us to account for everything we’ve ever done, thought, or said. In the face of that sobering reality we really can live with no fear!
When the storms of life hit we can ask God for wisdom. As Shawna was driving home from work yesterday during a winter snow storm she was praying - asking God for wisdom in navigating the storm. We don’t have to navigate the storms of life on our own.
Perry and his buddies were talking with Coach K after basketball practice in high school. And Greg said “Coach, who are the best players you’ve ever coached?” Keep in mind Perry and his buddies were in the process of building a no win season. And what Coach K said in that moment from his heart deeply formed Perry’s identity.
When Shawna was a preschooler a visit from her friends took an unexpected turn that led her to believe, “friends will turn on you.” A story she wrote over her heart & over her life. The stories we tell ourselves are the stories we live out so it’s important to ask, “Do the stories I tell myself line up with what God says?”

Building Spiritual Habits in the Home
We want our homes to be blessings, refuges, places of vibrant faith. And we want our love for Jesus to be discovered and developed in our children. But many of us feel like we’re just not cutting it.
In Building Spiritual Habits in the Home, Chris Pappalardo and Clayton Greene, show how that can change.
We talk with Chris about how to tilt the floor in our favor when it comes to actually doing the things we want to do that nurture our own relationship with God and through us to our kids!
From good intentions to actual practice – simple spiritual habits for your home.

“I Believe in You” – Jesus
When Jesus called his first disciples and said follow me, they heard those words of course but underneath those words the understood something deeper from Jesus, “Follow me and you will become just like me.” Perry first heard that call when his life was an thorough mess.
“You can’t handle the truth!!!” What an intense scene in A Few Good Men. The truth is the truth whether we believe it or not - but there are times that we struggle to see it for what it is. I think that’s because the truth confronts & displaces the lies. When the truth comes bursting through, the lies lose all their power. Jesus is the Truth and He speaks the Truth to you and me that we are loved, forgiven, and chosen to carry God’s love to the world.
Also in this podcast, The Chosen has brought the Bible to life for millions. Stan Jantz leads Come & See. He says “We’re on a mission to ensure that all 7 seasons of The Chosen are produced, translated into 600 languages, globally distributed, and free for all to see Jesus!”
Stan shares what Catholics in the Philippines are saying, “In watching The Chosen a veil has been lifted; we see Jesus as a person, not a symbol.” Muslims are saying, “I’ve been dreaming of Jesus and The Chosen has helped me understand my dreams and accept him!”
Andy was supposed to die of lung cancer by Christmas of 2023. But he’s still alive and it has much to do with The Chosen! And when a mom who’s 10 year old son is on the autistic spectrum saw the disciple Matthew who’s portrayed as being on the spectrum, she wept for an hour! And that 10 year old? Well you need to listen!

Helping Our Anxious Kids Learn Resilience
Kids today are more anxious than ever. Why is that?
Clinical director of Counseling Services at Winning at Home, Emilie DeYoung, says two factors that are contributing significantly to mental health challenges are living in the digital age and living in an achievement oriented, performance-based culture.
She says that even in this age of influencers, parents remain the most important influencers and sources of support. Parents, you matter!!!
Emilie says that we can help our anxious kids learn resilience and gain confidence. We can also send the message of their worth by celebrating their character traits, like the fruit of the Spirit, rather than only seeing their accomplishments.
Perry opens up about a high schooler who recently found herself paralyzed by anxiety and unable to go to school. Emilie says it’s not uncommon for young people to feel overwhelmed by their commitments. They feel like they’re never enough. We can let them know they don’t have to do it all.
And our identity as “loved” is not dependent on our performance. Honestly, we need to hear that message as much as our anxious kids do.
Also in the podcast, the way of our culture does not lead us to God. At the beginning of 2025 Shawna is asking God to reorder her desires. She knows it will come with opposition because it’s the opposite of the direction the world is going, but He’s so worthy of it. Jesus is worth it!
And last, when we’re on mission with Jesus, he will prompt us toward open doors. Perry shares the story of how the Spirit prompted him to show up at the home of his college basketball coach, and the amazing way God worked in that!

“There Was a Wall of Fire Around Me” - Perry
Perry had just gotten off a depressing phone call. He walked into the living room and suddenly shared a bible verse with his brothers. And that’s when, with his mind’s eye, he saw a wall of fire around him.
If you’re waiting for permission to be about the ministry – you’ve already got it! Wherever you go today you represent Jesus. Shawna shares a time when she prayed for a young man in Trader Joe’s. Go be the good news today – wherever the day takes you!
It was a sunshiny morning in northern Michigan. Perry was 6 hears old. And Jesus called him by name. At the time he didn’t realize it, but looking back he knows it was the Lord calling him into new creation.
Maybe you’ve sacrificed a lot so others can know Jesus. Shawna has a friend who lives in a country that doesn’t value women and she was so touched by her willingness to self-sacrifice so others could know God. But that’s the way of Jesus. That’s the way we are called to live as those who follow Him.
It’s a wrestling that’s been going on for quite a few years for Perry. “Am I giving my family enough of me with all the other really good things that I have on my plate. Lord am I in the center of your will for me?”

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.
