Shawn Thornton’s “All But Normal” Childhood and Path to Ministry (Part 1)
If you've ever wondered where is God in the middle of your pain, or if your story has purpose, don’t miss this conversation with Shawn Thornton, our Joni and Friends President and Chief Ministry Officer. Shawn joins host Stephanie Daniels on the podcast to share his raw and redemptive story of growing up with a mother who had suffered a traumatic brain injury. Reflecting on his childhood experiences, which he describes in his book, All But Normal: Life on Victory Road, Shawn recounts how God used challenging life circumstances to shape his heart and call him into ministry, first as a pastor and now in leadership at Joni and Friends.
