Life IS Jesus Christ – Shawn Paul

Life IS Jesus Christ

Shawn Paul

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to just go “all in” for Jesus? What would that mean for you. Don’t worry about what someone else did. Don’t worry about somebody else is going to do. Just “knowing” this is what the Lord has called you to do – and then just DO IT. Just go all in… What would that be like? Would you go to a foreign land? Would you teach others about the Word? Would you go into full time ministry? Would you go into becoming a caretaker of a church or church grounds? Really – the possible ways are endless. The only requirement is – you’re doing it for the Lord. Amen! Our guest today has followed that path. Shawn Paul owned his own construction company. He became successful in real estate, flipping houses and was living the life. But, he gave it all up to become a full-time missionary, blending his faith and technical skills to impact Central America and around the world, with the Gospel. Amen! He believes you can follow the plan God has for your life and when you walk firmly in your faith, the extraordinary will follow. There is nothing a person cannot do if God has told you to do it. Amen! He is also a podcaster, a radio broadcaster, short term missions leader and is raising up and training pastors through a 2 year Bible College program in partnership with Mark Barklay Ministries. Amen! Shawn has taken a break from all of that to give us a few minutes of his time today… so help me welcome to the program, the founder of “Morning Star Missions,” Shawn Paul. Amen! Shawn it is so good to finally get you to sit down for a minute and come on the program! I do appreciate it! First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Shawn Paul?” You’re affiliated with Mark Barclay Ministries. Mark Barclay has a great ministry based up in Michigan. That’s where I’m from originally. Great man of God. Amen. You’re originally from Iowa, I believe I read. You now live in Guatemala as a full time missionary and serving the Lord there. Let’s start with your background. Were you always interested in preaching and teaching the Word or did you was it something that evolved over time? I know… I believe… that God has a unique calling for each and every person. He uses our experiences, our pains, our failures and our victories to form us into the person He needs us to be. Your calling started by going into business. God needed you to learn those principles so He could use you later. How did God lead you to start your business and how did that evolve over the years? Living in a foreign land is not easy. I know… I lived three years in Korea. It is also enjoyable, exciting and all of that. But there are challenges. My unique calling is to minister to the people of my own land…God specifically used Ezekiel chapters 2 and 3 to call me into the ministry. That evolved into ministering to the world through the Internet and to help others do the same. I know…I love what I do, despite the challenges. How does God give you His Peace in knowing you are doing, right now, exactly what He needs you to be doing? How do you “know that you know that you know?” Tell us about your podcast, “Life is Jesus Christ” podcast. How long have you been podcasting? How often to you release new episodes? Shawn, this has been so interesting. If someone would like more information on you or your ministry, or possibly would like to get you on an interview like this – how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? You also have a support page on your website for the ministry work. Amen! I’ll put that link in the show notes as well. Folks, the work like Shawn Paul is doing is vital to fulfilling the Lord’s command to “Take the Gospel to the Ends of the Earth.” It is vitally important that we support ministries like Morning Star Ministries and folks just like Shawn Paul. Amen! You’ve heard me say before, every person – every believer – is called into ministry. There are those that GO, like Shawn Paul. There are those that HELP. It could be a ministry of helps at your church or short term missions trips, etc. Then, there are the MOST IMPORTANT ministers of all – those that SEND those that Go. Amen! That is the finance ministry. It costs money to preach the Gospel. You may not think it is that much… but believe me, it costs money. And you may not be called to Go or to go and help those that go. If that’s the case – YOU ARE CALLED into the SEND ministry of God. Folks like Shawn Paul cannot not fulfill their calling without support of folks like YOU. Amen! Every person Shawn and his team wins to the Lord – YOU get the same credit as if you were on the ground with him. Amen! WHY? Because you fulfilled YOUR CALLING and he was able to fulfill HIS CALLING – but both of you are called by GOD. Amen! Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Shawn Paul right now. Right NOW! Go to his website by clicking the links below and click on that DONATE TAB right now, too. ANY offering can be multiplied multiple times over by the Lord. Amen! If every person listening to me right now would pledge to just send $1 per month for the next year… do you realize how much that would impact Shawn Paul’s ministry work over the next year? Amen!
