“I live by the Golden Rule – Do to others whet they do to you. That’s in the Bible!” Jamie said as she pointed at me. Y’all, that is NOT in the Bible. The Bible says, “Do to others what you would have them do to you.”
There are a lot of sound bites that may seem like they come from the Bible but they actually contradict the scriptures. If you and I are going to live our lives according to God’s Word we need to be in God’s Word so we know what it says.
Shame can be a cruel taskmaster, telling you, “You’re unforgiveable.” Or shame can drive us to prove we’re not unforgiveable. Or shame can remind us how much we need Jesus. Perry has experienced all 3 and is slowing learning to live in the 3rd. How??
In the movie Inside Out 2 Riley’s emotions take her experiences that cause her to feel deeply and release them into her core belief system. WE do this! The stories we tell ourselves become the stories we live out!
Shawna stumbled across a belief she had about herself that directly opposes what God says. She shares how through the Word, God is speaking truth into her heart about who she really is.
When God put’s dreams in your heart to bring life to your world, you’re going to face opposition. From the enemy, from your selfish motives, and from the temptation to impress the world. It’s a conversation on navigating this opposition and completing what God has called you to.
Then Perry and Shawna are both navigating tough conversations with their adult children. Where they miss the mark of loving their kids well. It’s a conversation on being humble and teachable when your kids are brave enough to share how you miss it with them.
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.
