Hope is Where the Heart Is
Jim & Shannon Pourteau
Hope and conquest, loss and renewal, Jim Pourteau’s life is a beacon for people looking to reclaim their own. Surviving an unstable childhood marked by eleven stepfathers, he found a lifeline in his high school sweetheart, Shannon, and a calling to the ministry. With their move from Houston to Connecticut, Shannon worked in real estate while Jim served as a youth and staff pastor. He went on to serve at one of the fastest growing churches in America before their relationship was torn apart by infidelity. Suffering a crisis of faith, Jim resigned from his church, surrendered his ordination, and left to work for his father before Shannon discovered hope, setting them on a path of reconciliation.
