Shauna loves telling stories from her everyday experiences and connecting people in her winsome ways. She is the author of Love Where You Live and Translating Jesus, both books written out of her heart for the people of San Francisco. She and her husband, Ben, co-lead Epic Church, a multiethnic faith family in the city. She serves as the Strategic City Director for Alpha USA serving the city and the Bay Area. Shauna is the mom of four.

But let her speak for herself…I’m a pastor’s kid and lived my childhood in a small farming community in south Georgia. I’m emotionally nostalgic by storing up memories and reliving them. I’m drawn towards words - lots of them. Jekyll Island, Georgia is the best little island in the world. I’d travel anywhere with Ben and we’re attempting it as often as we can. I love adventure, but adventure doesn’t always love me. Biking is pure joy. My kids lavish ridiculous amounts of grace on me and teach me how to share Jesus. I am no help on pop culture, but can get us lost in any magical and poetic world. I love hosting and the details, but we’ll order take-out. And if today were my last day to live, I’d invite all my seeking friends over and offer them once again, this abundant Jesus life.
