Following Jesus With No Plan B
Raeanne Newquist and her family sold their home in Southern California and gave up everything to serve God on Mercy Ships. In the early days on the ship there were some tears which made them wonder, “What have we done to our children?”
But those tears were nothing compared to the tears that were shed when they had to leave the ship ten months later. If you trust God, He will provide for you.
Globally, 5 billion people lack access to safe surgery, Mercy Ships uses hospital ships to transform lives and serve nations. Following the 2,000-year-old model of Jesus, Mercy Ships is bringing hope and healing to the world’s forgotten poor.
People like Rougie, who hadn’t felt a human touch in over 10 years found healing, hope & community aboard Mercy Ships.

God Spoke Through the Muppets?
Yep! Shawna had the Muppets song stuck in her mind for months before looking up the lyrics . As she read them, she knew God was speaking to her, “It’s time!”
In Perry’s senior year at college he became acutely aware of the sins of his teenage years. He felt he deserved judgement. That’s when his heart really came alive to the truth of “No condemnation!”
Shawna’s friend has been feeling anxious and fearful about the election, what it will mean for her, for our country. Perry’s been feeling anxious about his suffering friend and his dad. What do we do when anxiety overwhelms?
Our culture screams, “It’s all about you!” So do our own hearts. We fall into entitlement and self-importance and forget who we really are. To recover the truth of who we really are, everything that we’re looking to for our identity must be stripped away.
God is our rescuer. And He’s really good at it. He rescued Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego from a fiery furnace and afterward they didn’t even smell like smoke! He can rescue you and me, completely!
Shawna’s friend set up a meeting with the school so he could advocate for his adopted daughter with special needs. As he was telling her about it Shawna couldn’t help but think, “That’s what God does for me!”

Shawna Woke Up and Realized She Was Praying
You can have an ongoing conversation with the God of the universe. Shawna woke up in the middle of the night in a youth hostel in Vienna, Austria to find she was already praying, while she slept. Is that possible? Is that biblical?
Perry shares the wrestling match he’s been in with God through his journey between the lie of shame and the love of God and how that in the wrestling we come to really know God.
So much of our time is spent regretting the past and worrying about the future. What if we stayed in this moment? What if we lived as if God is with us, right here, right now?
God took a simple song that Perry wrote in northern Thailand in 2000 and has been multiplying it in that far flung place ever since. It’s all about how God makes much of our little.
Maybe you wonder why God put you in your family, or at your work? Why, Lord? Esther was an unlikely queen, but God used her position to save an entire nation. He has a purpose for where he has you too!
Perry talks more about his journey of being healed from shame. An early experience caused him to think his mom was ashamed of him, but found out years later that his mom was actually feeling ashamed of herself.
Last, we have the treasure of the Holy Spirit in these weak jars of clay to show that our power comes from God and not ourselves. Perry experienced this first-hand on Tuesday night!

“I Faceplanted Sharing My Faith”
Perry felt prompted to share God’s love with a barista at a favorite coffee shop. The moment came, he took the risk, shared what was on his heart, and faceplanted. Or did he?
God is working out the immaturity in us, but it takes time. Take heart my friend, as we mature spiritually, we are becoming more and more like Jesus!
Perry woke up last week with an ancient sin on his mind. It was like stepping on a thorn. But it reminds him how much he needs Jesus and how much we need to remind one another of the gospel!
The third time Shawna got spoken over she started to feel small and invisible. When she stepped away from the office for lunch, someone held the door open for her at the restaurant & in that moment, she felt seen, known and loved by God. God can use us in simple ways to let others know He loves them too.
Last week Perry had two scares. His dad called him saying, “I think I’m having a stroke.” And on that same day a close friend was waiting on test results and Perry was fearing the worst.
Then, hearing her mom and dad pray for the other girls on Shawna’s softball team and lingering around the dinner table talking about what dad just read in the bible made a profound impact on Shawna.
Though she grew up in the church it was the way her parents lived out their faith in everyday life that most shaped Shawna’s faith.
Chief Innovation Officer for Awana & coauthor of Forming Faith: Discipling the Next Generation in a Post-Christian Culture, Mike Handler, joins us for a conversation around discipling our children, at church and at home.

I Made a Command Decision to Live
In honor of all who have served and in remembrance of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 we are joined by retired Air Force Lt. Col., Damon Friedman.
After serving four tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, within the Special Forces Operations community, Dr. Friedman returned home to his family for much needed rest and peace.
Instead, the war raged on in his body and mind making rest and peace nearly impossible.
With gun in hand, and the lies of the enemy attacking his thoughts, the truth pierced through the darkness that had plagued him and in that moment he decided to live for God.
His road to being rebuilt as a man of God led to founding SOF Missions, a ministry to veterans.
Are you ready to make a command decision to live for God?

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.
