The favor factor challenge presented by author and pastor Wanda Faye Shaw is a 30-day devotional designed to help the reader recognize the favor factor in every situation. Operating off of the belief that it takes only 21 days to form a habit, Shaw proclaims that if applied and accepted, focusing more on God’s favor rather and less on the circumstance will become habitual by the end of this book. Favor Factor is designed to help the reader start recognizing the presence of God’s unmerited favor and ultimately recognize that no matter what trial or triumph arises; God is in control. Compelling, creative, nurturing, motivating and devoted are a few of the myriad of attributes others would account to Executive Pastor Wanda Faye Shaw. Though she is a highly accomplished and celebrated preacher, teacher, mentor, mother, and wife, Pastor Shaw would simply describe herself as "favored." "Faye" as she is affectionately known, was born, reared, and educated in Birmingham, Alabama. The youngest of ten, she constantly acknowledges her late parents Havell and Lavada Johnson for introducing her to Jesus Christ, "the One who forever changed" her life. Since that introduction, her spiritual journey has caused tremendous growth both personally and professionally.Her candid, yet loving nature draws others to the God that she proclaims. She received her spiritual foundation at an early age and discovered her love for singing the gospel. She now serves as executive pastor of Grace Community Christian Church, in Kennesaw, Georgia under the leadership of Dr. Christopher Chappell. In addition, Faye also serves as, Adult Women's Lifebuilders Instructor, and Praise and Worship Leader. Faye truly has a heart for God's people and believes that she is walking in her calling to empower and motivate. Her transparent and contemporary approach to teaching the Word of God enables people to understand and apply the Word to their everyday lives. Whether singing, preaching, or teaching, listeners hear the voice of God speaking directly to their situations. Anyone who encounters Faye's spirit will attest that she has an anointing that commands others to realize their full potential through Christ. As a result of her own testimony and obedience, God has bestowed countless opportunities for Faye to witness globally to all of His people from the saved to the lost, hurt, depressed, broken, and unsaved. Whether keynote speaker, guest psalmist, or simply a worship participant, Faye is always accessible when God calls. A special heart for women and single mothers, Faye is constantly amazed at how God's favor has transposed her own life. She is committed to her assignment to help others realize God's favor in every aspect of life. Faye's most sacred treasures are her loving husband Darrell, beautiful daughters Kristen and Alexis, and her amazing granddaughters, Jalyn and Emerie.
