Daniel joins us to tell us his story of faith, his career as an American Ninja Warrior, and what it takes to glorify God, win or lose. He says “The greatest words of love we can tell the Lord are ‘I trust you.’”

Also in this episode, Shawna shares what she’s learning as she’s spent the last month reflecting on Jesus’ invitation to keep company with Him and to learn to live freely and lightly (Matthew 11:28-30). Perry admits, “I have often felt unworthy to come to God.”

Shawna admits that doing life with others is hard! In Romans Paul prays that God would give us endurance, encouragement & the same attitude towards one another that Jesus had so that God would be glorified through our unity. Last, Perry shares, “In the times I feel that I’m better than you, I’ve found only one remedy. The gospel.”
