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.
