As a Pastor's Wife and Worship Leader for the past 18+ years, Shannon has learned the root of what leads us to overwhelm, burn out, and discontent in our lives, stealing us of the joy and peace that Jesus promises is available to us. She is passionate about helping Christian women, women called to ministry, and pastor’s wives seeking encouragement, spiritual renewal, and emotional healing through biblical truths and the way God wired our bodies. Her greatest joy is helping women step into the greatness God created them for in a powerful, life giving community of like-minded women!
