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 every day. 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 her newly released Bible study, Shaped by God’s Promises (Our Daily Bread, 2024) and Comparison Girl for Teens (Kregel, 2024), Control Girl, and Influence. Shannon also hosts the “Live Like It’s True” podcast and has been featured on FamilyLife Today, Revive Our Hearts, and Proverbs 31.

Breakout Session


Five Message Mistakes and How to Kindly Offer Your Audience Clarity

People process information differently when they’re listening from a row, than reading a page. So how can we craft messages that will be easy for our auditory audiences to follow, understand, remember and retain? The process is much more challenging than you might expect!

As a TeachEquip.com lab facilitator, Shannon Popkin has noticed five mistakes that speakers quite commonly make as they craft their messages—all of which, she has made herself! In this workshop, she offers you a plan to avoid these mistakes and offer your audience the kindness of clarity.
