Today Perry and Shawna explore reasons to celebrate during sheltering at home.  David Doerner, teaching pastor at Frontline Community Church Grand Rapids joins the team.  First David shares how his anxiety about getting Covid has been transformed into a settled trust in Jesus.  Perry shares about how some low grade resentment has surfaced and how God is cleaning his heart from that.  Transformation during hard times is reason to celebrate. 

Then David, Shawna and Perry share about what God has done in their families during stay at homing.  David has grown closer to his precious son Judah and he learned to treasure this unexpected season of family closeness and Perry shares about the community he, his wife Teresa, and daughter Kali have been experiencing. 

And finally we talk about how this season has put an exclamation point on how much we need each other!  We need each other for support, we each other’s differing points of view on what it looks like to stay safe during the pandemic.  And to respect our differences.  And we highlight how well the Church of West Michigan is coming together as one church in this season.  You have to look beneath the surface but there are reasons to celebrate.
