Listen Later

Have you ever wondered who you truly are — beyond the labels, the opinions, and the plans you've made for yourself? Do you wonder what your purpose is here on this earth and how to walk in your true identity? Shynna Harper, a former Lakers Girl, shares her journey of faith, personal growth, and the pursuit of her dreams as a professional dancer. She reflects on her childhood, the challenges of being a pastor's kid, and how her relationship with God transformed her life and her relationships. Shynna also encourages us to use our God-given gifts and talents to serve others and shine the light of Jesus wherever we go. This special conversation shows us the significance of Christian community, the freedom of walking in our God-given purpose, and the beauty of surrendering to God's plans for our lives.

Episode Topics:

Shynna's personal journey shows the struggle of discovering our true identity and purpose in Christ while striving to live for ourselves.

Growing up as a pastor's kid, Shynna's initially resisted her faith and wasn't sure what she truly believed in.

A bad relationship led her to rediscover her faith through reading her Bible and surrendering to Christ.

God's love and grace transformed Shynna's heart over the years, allowing her to see His hand at work in every detail of her life.

Pursuing your dreams can lead to unexpected challenges and growth, but God's plans for your life are always greater and come in His perfect timing,

Shynna's experience as a Lakers Girl taught her the importance of serving others through the gifts and talents that God gives us.

Trusting God's timing is so important when pursuing your personal dreams.
