Night Won’t Last Forever
Kali Joy has experienced the night. And the dawn. And she’s written songs about both.
Kali’s a singer, songwriter, worship leader and Perry’s daughter! She shares the story behind her song “There Will Be a Light Again,” that came out of a time of dying in 2020.
She shares how God has and is creating something out of nothing in her life and how he does and will do the same for us.
Then she shares the story behind her new song “Night Won’t Last Forever,” which mirrors how God has brought her out of a dying season into new life.
And last we talk about finding our identity in God’s love for us and not in what we do or achieve or accomplish. Kali’s heart has been softened and healed by Jesus and she knows the Lord will do the same for you and me!

Drama in the Sauna
A couple weeks back Perry saw an open door to share his faith in the sauna. It started out great but quickly it crashed and burned.
Wouldn’t it be great to have an evangelism coach? Someone who could give us some tips and pointers on how to engage those who don’t know Jesus in a winsome way?
Aaron Bolduc of Ambassadors For Christ International joins the team to coach us up on sharing Jesus with the world He SO loves!
Perry and Shawna both share times when it didn’t go as hoped. And Aaron has some encouragement for those times, and how to walk away from them actually feeling encouraged.
Aaron also offers some tips for opening up a conversation about God and the Bible, the difference between outreach and evangelism, and the importance of talking to God about people before we talk to people about God.

“I Feel Like It’s All on Me”
Having been sent to India for 3 days in preparation for our campaign with India Partners this week, Shawna put a lot of pressure on herself to bring her best to the campaign. After three nights of very little sleep, her body and mind were failing her on the first dayof the campaign.
She felt like she had failed. After a good, looooooong nap, the Lord gently reminded her that HE was the One doing the work. He’s God. We’re not.
Then, when Jesus calmed the storm for the disciples, were they at peace because the storm stopped, or because they realized they were in the presence of God?
Perry shares, “Sometimes I still have doubts that I’m secure in God’s forever family. And I think I always will. But I’ve learned what to do with these doubts.”
If you think the prize for giving your life to Jesus is heaven, you’re wrong. The prize for giving your life to Jesus is Jesus!
We all have moments when we feel like God is far away but God’s Word says that He will never leave us. Never!
We know we’re meant to live full on for Jesus and love people as he’s loved us. And when we don’t it can send us into God avoidance. But that’s precisely when we need to draw near!
Last, when God told Noah to build a boat, he built a boat. Even when there was no evidence that it would even rain much less flood the earth. What is God calling you to do?

Americans Are Hungry For God’s Word!
Americans Are Hungry For God’s Word!
How do we know? The research tells us so.
Dr. John Plake is a researcher with a pastor’s heart. As the Chief Program Officer at American Bible Society he joins us to share data from first chapter of their 14th Annual State of the Bible report.
He shares that Americans are interested in what the Bible has to say, especially our young adults. Dr. Plake says, “Last year, 50% of Gen Z adults (ages 18-27) agreed that the message of the Bible has transformed their lives. This year, that number rose to 54%. If this trend continues, we have good reason for hope.”
Then, when you share your faith it’s OK to say, “You know what, I don’t have the answer to that. But I’ll find out and get back with you!” Perry had to do this the other day in a conversation with his Muslim friend and it was so humbling cause he wanted to have an answer!
“What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near?”– Laura Story. Pain takes us deep into relationship with God. And Perry and Shawna talk about how they wrestle to surrender to the way of the cross.
Last, serving, at times, can feel like a box we need to check off our Christian to-do list. But that’s not how Jesus approached it. Serving wasn’t something he did, it’s who He is. What would it take for you and me to love and serve others like Jesus?

A Lie Believed Will Effect You As If It Were True
Underneath every sin is a lie that we have believed. Whether it’s believing “It’ll never be enough”, “No one will love me if I don’t perform”, “I’m all alone” or whatever lie you have believed, that lie is impacting your behavior, your relationships, your life!
How do we uncover the lies?
How do we know what’s true?
David Doerner, Lead Pastor at Frontline Church, is with us to not only answer those questions but to remind us of the lifegiving truth that God is with us, He loves us, and He provides everything we need.

Perry LaHaie
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
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.
