Podcast appearances and mentions of Shawn McDonald

Shawn McDonald is a singer/songwriter based in the USA. His life has been marked by a string of heartaches, bad breaks, and personal mistakes, events that have landed him both in trouble with the law and in love with the Lord - in that order. The street-tough but tenderhearted McDonald has never shied away from telling his story - of growing up in Eugene, Oregon, as an angry, rebellious teen who was a drug addict and a dealer, looking for any and every way to escape his pain and a dysfunctional home. In 1998, at just 20 years old and at the end of his rope - and facing nine felony counts on a drug bust - McDonald cried out to God… and started turning his life around. He hasn't looked back since. Listen in to his story!

Club Solutions Magazine is celebrating its 20th anniversary this month after two decades of serving the fitness industry. Shawn McDonald and Rico Francis, the co-founders of Club Solutions, recently sat down with Club Solutions Magazine Podcast host Rachel Zabonick-Chonko to discuss the brand's history, culture and what lies ahead for the company in the near future. The duo provides a genuine look into the brand they first started in 2003. Listen to the conversation here.

Santa Fe, New Mexico, paid a local contractor $47,000 to round up about 3,000 shopping carts around the city in 2021 and 2022.Fayetteville, North Carolina, spent $78,468 collecting carts from May 2020 to October 2022.Shopping carts keep wandering away from their stores, draining taxpayers' coffers, causing blight and frustrating local officials and retailers.Abandoned shopping carts are a scourge to neighborhoods, as wayward carts block intersections, sidewalks and bus stops. They occupy handicap spots in parking lots and wind up in creeks, ditches and parks. And they clog municipal drainage and waste systems and cause accidents.There is no national data on shopping cart losses, but US retailers lose an estimated tens of millions of dollars every year replacing lost and damaged carts, say shopping cart experts. They pay vendors to rescue stray carts and fork over fines to municipalities for violating laws on shopping carts. They also miss out on sales if there aren't enough carts for customers during peak shopping hours.Last year, Walmart paid $23,000 in fines related to abandoned shopping carts to the small town of Dartmouth, Massachusetts, said Shawn McDonald, a member of the town's Select Board.Support the showSign Up For Exclusive Episodes At: https://reasonabletv.com/LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new videos every day. https://www.youtube.com/c/NewsForReasonablePeople

Shawn was led to the gates of Warrior by nothing less than perfect timing and divine intervention. After searching for answers to his wife’s eighteen-year condition, it was during a month-long stay at the Mayo Clinic while waiting for his wife that Shawn randomly opened up Facebook. Enter Garrett J White promoting a 30-day challenge. Welcome to the Warrior Week podcast with your host, Coach Sam Falsafi, and his special guest, Shawn McDonald, Warrior Week 54 graduate. Parable #1: Divine Intervention null Shawn was led to the gates of Warrior by nothing less than perfect timing and divine intervention. After searching for answers to his wife’s eighteen-year condition, it was during a month-long stay at the Mayo Clinic while waiting for his wife that Shawn randomly opened up Facebook. Enter Garrett J White promoting a 30-day challenge. At the time, Shawn’s relationship with his wife had gotten to an all-time low, and they were moving closer to divorce. “I was financially very successful, career-wise very successful; I was an executive doing very, very well. Inside? I was literally dead. I was hopeless as to where my wife’s situation was and very hopeless where I was mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. So… I took the challenge.” QUESTION Where were you when you were first introduced to the message of Wake Up Warrior? Parable #2: The Garage The first evolution in the Kings Kit Challenge takes place virtually in the guy’s garages. Previously organized because of his wife’s skills, his garage was now a complete mess, which was a vivid and glaring reflection of the shit taking place in his life, in his heart, and in the relationship with his wife.  “The whole process of bringing practical circumstances to the forefront of my perspective, and helping the other men and me literally walk through a journey of breaking things down piece by piece, helped me to completely get out of my pit and was the beginning of a revolution for me.” QUESTION What is your garage a reflection of in your life?   Parable #3: Exposed One challenge led to another until Shawn eventually found himself in the throes of the crucible, Warrior Week. During the Inquisition process, it felt like someone had peeled back the vale and had exposed where he had been for over 20 years of his life. Although he was ready to understand what was going on inside of him, admittedly, it was so much harder than he expected it to be. “When you finally get down to an understanding of things you have danced around forever, that awakening means everything.  The biggest thing for me was literally coming to a place of acknowledging that I hate myself and that I’ve never loved my wife.” QUESTION Where in your world is it time to shine a light to expose what you’ve been hiding? Parable #4: You’re Not Alone All around us, families are being crushed and shattered. Men are operating at the lowest version of themselves and have been conditioned to believe they have to go through this life alone. But that is simply not the case. “We underestimate the importance of men who have gone before us. In order to walk shoulder-to-shoulder with somebody, you have to have been tested by the fire yourself. You’ve had to have gone into your own pit, and trust another man to help you walk out of that pit.” QUESTION Who has your back in this world? Parable #5: Own Your Why On the second day of Warrior Week, Shawn experienced the next major step in opening his eyes to the work that lay ahead of him. He began identifying and imprinting into his soul the purpose for his existence, shouting to the world the names of his wife and children. “This is why I’m alive! This is my family that’s been entrusted to my care.”He realized it was his unwillingness to show up for himself and his family that led to a path of destruction for all of them. “It led me to five affairs, two bankruptcies, kids who didn’t want to have anything to do with me, a son who got on drugs, and a daughter that got raped.” QUESTION What is your why?   “Parables from the Pit“ “The majority of men don’t have the courage to admit their faults because they don’t want to remind themselves of their mistakes. And so they hide and hang with “positive” people who are also liars, and who will never have the fucking balls to remind them of their mistakes and lies.” –-Sam Falsafi “It’s one thing to point out another man’s lies; it’s a completely different thing to help lead him to the light.” –– Shawn McDonald

Some friendly conversation with Ben Shive & Shawn McDonald mixed in with top-notch songs by Matt Wertz, Julie Lee, Seabird, and Young Oceans.

Great conversation with singer, songwriter Shawn McDonald. I have always loved his music especially, because he is a storyteller. It wasn't at all surprising to me when he shared with me some of his inspirations growing up. I could say to myself, "Yes, yes, I can see that." As in his songs, our conversation is just as varied and colorful! He's a very interesting guy and his new CD The Analog Sessions is really good! Analog, has fallen by the wayside for so many looking at a fast, easy, cheap way to disseminate music digitally. BUT, when it comes to sound? Nothing compares. Shawn talked to me a little bit about what it meant for him going into the studio and recording on analog tape. It's a bit of a different process. I think musicians and singers will appreciate this interview for all the technical talk about the whole process.

This is Session 15 of the Worship Song Video Blog includes an example of playing the song "Rise" (written by Shawn McDonald). This is a video blog of guitar tips and ideas for playing worship songs. This song edition includes a video demonstrating the song arrangement on guitar and a downloadable PDF chord chart with the lyrics and chords (courtesy of WorshipTeam.com). CHORD CHART PDF: download here. Video Demonstration: See below. This video became very popular and people have been asking a number of questions (all of which are explained or demonstrated in the video). But to give some written information here will help. Guitar Tuning- This song is done with D-tuned guitar strings. This means that instead of the standard EADGBE tuning of the strings, the guitars low E string is tuned to D, not E. This means the tuning becomes DADGBE. UPDATE: Actually, the original version of the song by Shawn McDonald is done in the DADGAD tuning. I am not sure how I missed that, but it it certainly would make the song pitch to D much more "dronelike". Try it with both tunings and pick the one you like- but the original should be DADGAD, not the D-tune that I have noted in the video. Tempo/meter - I play this demonstration around 70bpm, although the original song is done around 74-76 by Shawn McDonald. Strumming Pattern - The strumming pattern on this song is demonstrated on the video, but some folks wanted it written out. Here is a staff measure that shows the pattern. The notes are just chord strums (I couldn't figure out how to get Finale to do it any other way). Anyways, for each note is a strum. The letters indicate which direction the strum is. D for down, U for up. For churches using WorshipTeam.com, the song, chord chart, lyrics and audio are already available and pre-loaded for you in the WorshipTeam.com system song database.
