    Get To Know Shannon


    From the platform and page, Shannon Popkin invites you to open your Bible, drink deeply of God’s story, and live like it’s true. Shannon is from west Michigan and is happy to share life with Ken, who makes her laugh daily. Together they have the joy of watching their three young-adult children become the amazing people God created them to be. They also enjoy their two adorable Shih Tzus, who—unlike the kids—have no plans of moving out.

    Shannon’s books include Comparison Girl, Control Girl, and Influence, and she hosts the “Live Like It’s True” podcast. Shannon has been featured on FamilyLife Today, Revive Our Hearts, and Proverbs 31.
