Dan Shannon: Experiencing Extraordinary to Stay Awake in the Ordinary

Do you remember where you were the first time the message of God’s love really came alive to you? Do you remember the last time you shared your faith? Perhaps it was in a recent conversation with a good friend just needing the encouragement to keep going. Or maybe it was a colleague or a neighbor you know who you just feel drawn to be a light in their life and point them to Jesus. While sharing our faith isn’t always at the forefront of our minds daily, I do know how incredibly impactful it can be. And I love hearing when other passionate followers of Jesus are empowering others and discipling followers of Jesus to do the same. On today’s show I have a special guest doing just this with Youth With a Mission, otherwise known as YWAM. Their ministry is all about equipping a generation with a passion to know God and make Him known and they do this through a number of ways in small groups, one on one, locally and internationally. Dan Shannon dives into just a BIT of what his journey with YWAM has been like over the last 20 years. Starting what feels like a lifetime ago in the early 2000s, Dan has traveled globally with YWAM and continues to serve on staff out of their KONA HAWAII Base. Dan and his lovely wife Meehan have been living their dream adventures of raising 3 kids in Hawaii and showing up to life daily with the excitement for “what God has for them and how can they include him into every faucet of who they are! (A challenge for all of us to live this way!) Well, I’m excited for the stories and conversation we’re going to get into today, so why dont you pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee and dive in with us to the places between.  Learn more about Youth With a Mission at YWAM.org Learn more about Alpha and Youth With a Mission here. _____ COSTA RICA Coed Retreat has already taken place.
