Resilience, Purpose & Love with Shani McKoy - Episode 25

Family, this conversation had me smiling, tearing up, and nodding my head the whole way through. I had the joy of sitting down with Shani McKoy—a Jersey girl who thought she was headed for Hollywood, but God had bigger plans. Instead of scripts on a stage, He handed her the script of her life: to lead women into truth, resilience, and purpose.

Shani opened up about the raw grief of losing her father just three months into ministry, and how that season forced her to cling to God in a deeper way. She shared how resilience is forged in adversity, what it means to live a life of daily obedience, and why success isn’t measured by applause or titles—but by faithfulness to God.

And then… she shared her love story. Y’all, it’s the kind of story that makes you laugh, shake your head, and say, “Only God could write this.” From knowing her husband since she was 13, to missing every single sign, to finally realizing God had aligned them for something far greater than themselves—her testimony is a beautiful reminder that when you know your purpose, you can recognize who’s truly aligned with it.

This episode will encourage you if you’ve ever questioned your calling, struggled with loss, or wondered if God really has a plan for your love life. Spoiler: He does.

About the Guest

Shani McKoy is the founder of Shanispeaksup, an online women’s ministry that she launched during the pandemic. What started as a simple act of obedience has grown into a platform dedicated to teaching women God’s Word and helping them live a life that truly honors Him.

Her heart is especially for single women, encouraging them to navigate singleness with purpose, rather than pressure. She emphasizes abstinence, self-worth, and spiritual growth, helping women understand that finding their purpose first is key before seeking a relationship. Shani believes that when she aligns with God’s plan rather than societal expectations, she positions herself for the life He truly desires for her.

Through Shanispeaksup, Shani has been blessed to impact countless women, encouraging them in faithful living, obedience, and spiritual empowerment. It hasn’t always been easy, but she’s learned that true success isn’t about striving—it’s about surrendering to God’s will and trusting Him in every season.

Now, Shani is focusing on Dreamscripted Podcast, a space where faith and purpose collide. This podcast is about helping people script the life God has written for them, rather than the one they’ve been pressured to create for themselves. Dreamscripted is about saying yes to God’s vision, even when it looks different from what she imagined. Through deep conversations and real-life testimonies, Shani wants to help others see that God’s script is always better than our own.
