“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.

Tough Bible Questions – Compelling Answers
Sometimes the truth can be hard to find. We live in an age when it only takes a few seconds to look up anything we want to know. But how reliable are the answers we get?
S. Michael Houdman and GotQuestions.org have cut through the confusion, answering even the hardest of questions with clarity, grace and love for more than two decades.
It was through his own questions being answered that Shea came to give his life to Jesus and that’s why he is so passionate about answering your questions with the biblical truth we need to better understand God, ourselves, and the world we live in.
Shea joins us to talk about his new book The 100 Most Asked Questions About God and the Bible.

Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus in the Midst of Broken Dreams
Even in the hardest things, we can learn to fix our eyes on the God who brings us out of the dark night.
Broken Dreams. Discouragement. Grief. Kat Shultis has been there. In My Lowest For His Highest, Kat shares with honesty and depth about walking through valleys and days of wilderness.
Kat helps you delve into the heart of our heavenly Father when you find yourself in a story that’s not what you’d hoped it to be.
Also, Shawna, Perry & Ben respond to Masters winner, Scottie Scheffler’s comments on the pressure to win he was feeling on Sunday morning of the Masters. And the wisdom his buddies shared with him that helped reset his heart for the day.
Last, it would take 200,000 years at the speed of light to cross just our Milky Way Galaxy and there are billions of galaxies! And yet the God who created them all knows and loves you!

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.

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.
