Pastor Shawn, I wish I knew the words that would truly express to you how your brokenness and vulnerability and your obedience to God to share it with the world has literally saved my life and turned my life around. It’s too much to put in this comment but I found you online a couple years ago on “accident” around midnight on a Tuesday night, a night that I was planning on taking my life. Life had gotten too hard, I was tired of fighting and hurting and just didn’t feel like I could do it anymore. That’s when God put you on my phone, you were crying and sharing your story about the night you pulled over on the highway. It was your story that changed everything for me and I could never thank you enough for being you, for being real and being honest. Thank you for not giving up Pastor Shawn because God used you to save my life. I’m a single mom of a terminally ill little girl, and it was your story that gave me the strength to keep going and to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I have rededicated my life to God and today I am a new person, I love my life, I have a very close relationship with God and I now thank God everyday for choosing me to be the mommy of one of his special little angels instead of being angry at God and blaming him for the condition of my baby girl. What I thought was a curse turned out to be the biggest blessing I could have ever been given. I could never thank you enough for just being the REAL you. I love you and appreciate you!

It’s amazing how God works through us and there’s a good chance your story could help someone else be saved which is why God always wants us sharing our stories/struggles as a pay it forward. I’ll pray for you and your daughter. God Bless!

[@redrockschurchYT]

Thank you so much for sharing your story! We are grateful for your vulnerability and glad you are a part of our community!

[@user-sf7ve9fm2t]

Praise God. Keep strong in your faith. Jesus loves a broken and contrite heart, and our suffering indeed is a blessing because it keeps us clinging to the Most High God. Trust Him every day, never give up. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

This is the single most powerful sermon that has ever spoken directly to my soul. The recent years have been so difficult yet I lean on my Lord to carry me through every hurt, every hardship and all the pain. I will run the race and through my pain I will help others who are hurting. To God be the glory! Thank you Shawn Johnson, the truth you speak has helped me today…

[@jamiekristen8695]

BEST Pastor I have ever been blessed to listen to!!

[@CandiceKreidel]

Thanks so much I needed to hear this

[@ayvin_the_dev5650]

For the ones who claimed you haven’t helped anyone- shame on them. If anything they made you are stronger believer in God. And thank God you didn’t quite- I wouldn’t have found you. Lol And for the joy of seeing your son preach. Priceless.

[@pleasure95]

No you shouldn't quit. You're the only pastor I can listen to so that's not bad communication. This doesn't work for that person so instead of transferring they tell you to go. No they should go and let you continue for the people it works for

[@nickbarillamusic2566]

You and your church are such an inspiration. thank you! Praise God

[@sukaapikali9830]

[@tina-ec7ce]

Wow… thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for that message. I’m so grateful and thankful that God was able to guide you and keep you and that you did not give up… Because I can’t even put into words how much I needed that message. I ended up in tears and blessed and, just I don’t know I don’t have the words I just thank you for not giving up and I thank God for people like you that help us to not give up

[@msmedina1365]

You are such an amazing pastor so good at what you do

[@olivermullin6558]

Sounds like today what we are headed for… false profits! Everyone against us, (real Christians) I won’t stop the good fight And pray for all Gods people.. we are fighting against pure evil.. we need our FATHER! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thanks Shawn!! Love Red Rocks church!

[@lindamogab8352]

Excellent message!!!

[@nonya7099]

Im struggling. The enemy is accusing Gods faithfulness day and night and truth is I am doubting God as a good father in my life. Ive experienced so much pain, betrayal and disappointment year after year. I cant turn from God but I cant continue living in this brokenness. Im typing this just as an act of faith. Father I need You to embolden me.. I cant do this anymore on my own. I need my hope to be restored..
