Shannon is from West Michigan. She's a wife, mom, as well as an author, speaker, and Bible teacher. She's happy to be sharing life with Ken, who — after 25 years, still makes her laugh every day. Together they have the joy of watching their three kids/young adults become the amazing people God created them to be. We also have two adorable Shih Tzu’s, who — unlike the kids -- have no plans of moving out.
Her family loves to open their front door to others, and they're deeply invested in Ada Bible Church. They're incredibly thankful to be part of a ministry where the Bible is central and people are welcome.
As an author and speaker, Shannon loves to combine her gifts for humor and storytelling with her passion for Jesus and the truth of God’s Word. She speaks for ladies’ events, retreats, and moms groups. She's the author of Control Girl, and her latest book is Comparison Girl, published by Kregel (visit ComparisonGirl.com to learn more). Shannon has appeared on one TLP episode.
I've said to so many friends, lately, who are facing parenting challenges: "Hey, there's this podcast..."
I so appreciate the way Aaron balances hard-to-swallow truths with a tone of love, concern and "yeah, me too..." empathy. I've been binge-listening the past month or so, and I find the truths shared on Truth.Love.Parent to be both intuitive and greatly clarifying. I'm feeling more equipped to parent even my young adult children--not with ease, but with peaceful confidence.
