What Does Jesus Do for Disappointed Followers?

By shauna 1 Comment

The apostle Peter followed Jesus around Israel for three years. He walked with him, learned from him, and witnessed mind-blowing miracles by which Jesus declared himself to be the rescuing King God had promised. Each miracle—opening the eyes of the blind, making a paralyzed man walk, feeding thousands of people by multiplying a few loaves of bread—were glimpses of the kind of kingdom Jesus would establish for his followers. A kingdom of wholeness, abundance, and holiness. And that was exactly … [Read more...]

What Does it Mean to Follow Jesus?

By shauna 9 Comments

Years ago, late-night comedian Jay Leno used to do a segment he called "Jay Walking." He'd walk around New York City and ask the "man on the street" random questions – questions the average person should be able to answer like, "In what month do we vote for President?" or "Who is the Vice President of the United States?" Leno's audience would laugh and roll their eyes while grown-up American citizens searched their memories for the correct answer that they knew they should know! Kurt and I … [Read more...]

When Your Efforts Seem Wasted

By shauna 2 Comments

It's been one month since we emptied the contents of our home into a dumpster. After our house fire, a friend texted to see how I was faring and to find out how she could pray specifically.

The truth was, I was heartbroken and sick to my stomach over the loss of it all. For twenty years, we've worked to make a … [Read more...]

House Fire, Graduation, and God’s Provision

By shauna Leave a Comment

On a gorgeous May evening, the night before our middle son Spencer's high school graduation, our house caught on fire. Our family and our pets are all safe. Uprooted, but doing well overall. In the past two weeks, our family, church family, friends, and community have absolutely bent over backward to anticipate our needs and meet them. We have been first-hand witnesses and beneficiaries of the body of Christ working together, each member doing its part (1 Corinthians 12:26-27). It has been … [Read more...]

When Jesus Whispers Your Name

By shauna Leave a Comment

Based on the gospel accounts in Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24 and John 20. I know Easter Day has come and gone, but there was one moment from the Easter story that wouldn’t leave me even after I’d picked all the plastic grass out of my carpet. Every time I read the story of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, the Sunday morning scene captivates me. Though Bible scholars disagree about the chronology presented in the four gospel accounts, Jesus' resurrection rings true from every … [Read more...]

HI THERE!

I’m Shauna, and I help worn-out Christians find permanent rest and relief by retelling gospel stories that highlight Jesus’ kindness toward ordinary people like us.

In my books and on this blog, I weave history, theology, and fictional detail into a fresh retelling of familiar Bible stories. I started writing them because I needed them. When I shared my stories, people said they made the Bible come to life.

If you could use some permanent rest and relief, download my free Bible story devotional.
