Shannon is a fiery Christian who developed a passion for ministry following her radical salvation in the middle of a thunderstorm ten years ago. This passion is driven by her journey from darkness to light, and the transforming power of God’s grace before she ever knew she needed it. “Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!”         Luke 1:45. You will find her story “Defined by the Storm” to be both an inspiration and encouragement.

Shannon is a member of Prestonwood Baptist Church, and lives in Plano, Texas with her husband. She is popular speaker for Stonecroft Ministries, Gideon’s International (shared stage with Dr. Erwin Lutzer, Moody Bible Church at their 2008 Convention), Gideon's State Conventions across the country, Pastor's Appreciation Banquets, and has been featured at Ziglar, Inc.'s Monday Devo, churches, and women's ministry events.  Shannon is member of the National Speakers Association and the International Speaker's Network.  Mightily influenced by Jean and Zig Ziglar since coming to Christ, she shares her relational message of motivation and hope without reservation- from the podium, as well as the marketplace.

My Beliefs

There is one God:  The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  He is Eternal Creator.  Jesus Christ is God's Son, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, was buried, arose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and WILL return to earth again!  The Bible is the entire true word.  It is errorless, and God breathed (inspired).  Salvation is the free gift through Jesus Christ our Lord- who is the single way to the Father- and ANYONE who believes in Him, through repentance and faith- their salvation is secure forever!  Amen and Amen!
