Worship leader Taya says that when we hold on to bitterness, it’s like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. She’s learned this wrestling with her own bitterness. Then, the lost, the broken, the bruised, the forgotten, these are the ones Jesus came for; the ones we must not overlook. Next, it’s seems too good to be true, but it’s true. When you trust yourself to Jesus, he will never count your sins against you! Next, worship leader Taya had been wronged by another believer. This person was in the front row as Taya was leading worship. And her first thought was, “I am going to exact my revenge right now.” Last, when the world sees the church it should be like a drive through the country on a peak fall day.
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 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.
