“‘Encore!’—We Just Couldn’t End Without Saying This" Perry and Shawna
It's the final podcast from Perry and Shawna.
We bid farewell to Ben with “An Ode to Ben,” courtesy of ChatGPT. As Shawna points out, “To know Ben’s heart you need to hear him pray.”
Then, Perry had a dream in Venice. In it, his right now self was speaking words of hope to a much younger version of his dad. He had no idea why he would have that dream until yesterday.
Next, when Scott Curtis gave his treasured parking spot to Shawna after her foot surgery, that was more powerful to her than a thousand sermons.
Then Shawna shares, “I tried to talk Jack Haveman out of hiring me. I had 0 radio experience!” Jack joins us to share why. And why did Perry ask Shawna about Star Wars in her job interview?
Former atheist Howard Shores shares his near death experience. He expected nothing when he drew his final breath. Instead he was enveloped in utter darkness and the demonic. But then....
Perry says, “Shawna you’ve got such a great heart, share it one more time with our amazing friends!”
Last, Perry and Shawna know goodbyes are hard. But like a trapeze artist we’re letting go of one bar as the other is coming to meet us. Perry and Shawna share the words of an ending and a new beginning.
“It’s been an honor to be on the journey with you! We love you!” Perry and Shawna

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.
