Seven Minutes and Seven Years

Shannon Quintana

Shannon Quintana

Shannon’s parents were church planters, and they introduced her to Jesus at a very young age. Coming to faith so early allowed Shannon to grow up with Jesus as her guide. Through the ups and downs of life, she has always known God loves her and has a plan for her life. As such, Shannon is passionate about her walk with God. He has brought her through the deepest valleys and led her toward great victories and triumphs without leaving her side. Having never seen a trial wasted, and through it all knowing God has never left her side, Shannon knows first-hand that God’s promises are available to everyone. It is no surprise that Shannon is known as a personal encourager. Over the years, Shannon has been blessed to travel the world leading worship, as well as speaking at women’s events and retreats, leading small groups, and serving as a trusted confidant to friends. However, one of her greatest joys and privileges is working as a biblical counselor to women, walking them through the darkest times of their lives and helping them by revealing the hope Jesus offers. Shannon is married to her best friend, Jessie. They have two grown daughters. To contact Shannon, visit the following: www.shannonquintana.com Instagram: @shannonquintana Facebook: The Quintanas
