About Shakira
Hi, I’m Shakira Thomas, and my journey with God has been nothing short of transformational. At the age of 13, I gave my life to Jesus, and from that moment, I began asking two profound questions: Who am I? and Why am I here? What I didn’t know at the time was that God would spend the next decades walking with me and answering those very questions, shaping me into who I am today.
In my early twenties, God began stirring in me a passion for creating resources that make life easier and more meaningful for others. My first venture was an online platform for women, but while it didn’t last, it revealed a deeper purpose—using my gifts and experiences to serve others and glorify God. That seed planted years ago has blossomed into something far greater than I ever imagined.
The year 2013 marked a turning point in my relationship with God. I realized that the answers I sought couldn’t be found in the world or my own wisdom. It was in full surrender to God that I truly began to discover my identity and purpose. I devoted myself to prayer, fasting, and studying the Word, and through that intimacy, God began to transform my heart, my mind, and my life. I developed practices like daily scripture meditation and journaling, which became tools for navigating life’s challenges and deepening my walk with God.
In 2018, God called me to share my journey by writing Life with God, a book that encourages believers to cultivate an intimate relationship with Him. Since then, I’ve witnessed how the Holy Spirit has used this resource to inspire others and help new believers find their footing in the faith.
Fast forward to today, I am stepping fully into my God-given purpose through the Life with God Movement. This isn’t just a program or a community—it’s a lifestyle, believers who are intentional about doing life with God. Together, we’re cultivating a lifestyle of doing everything with Him.
Life with God Movement is a place where transformation happens. We meet every Sunday at 7pm for a teaching designed to deepen your relationship with God and prepare you to walk intentionally with Him throughout the week. The conversation doesn’t end on Sundays, throughout the week we engage in prompts, challenges, and encouragement to help us stay focus and consistent in our walk with God.
As someone who has experienced the power of surrendering to God and walking in His will, I am passionate about helping others deepen their relationship with Him. Whether through group coaching, one-on-one mentorship, or resources like my books and study cards, my mission is to support, nurture, equip and encourage believers to do life with God.
The journey hasn’t been easy, but it has been worth it. And now, I’m here to walk with you as you discover the fullness of life in God. Let’s do life with Him—together.
"Life With God Movement has been a blessing in my life. Being part of this community has deepened my relationship with God and surrounded me with people who truly care. The weekly gatherings and devotionals are uplifting, and I’ve found a sense of purpose and belonging that I’ve never experienced before."
"I was searching for a community where I could grow spiritually and feel supported, and I found exactly that with Life With God Movement. The fellowship, worship nights, and inspiring messages have transformed how I live my life. I’m now more focused on keeping God at the center of everything I do."
Our Mission
The movement is a response to God’s desire for His people to journey together. From the four corners of the earth, believers are coming together to intentionally include God in everything they do. A cornerstone of this movement is our Sunday Set-Up—a weekly virtual gathering where we plan out our week with God, setting the tone for intentional, God-centered living. This will become a way of life, a practice of making Him first in all things.
The Life with God Movement is a new thing God is doing in the earth, and it is an invitation for all who long for a deeper relationship with Him. Together, we are building a movement of faith, devotion, and unity—living for His glory and purpose.
I remain active in my local church, teaching high schoolers, guiding new believers, and serving in leadership roles.
Today, I know the answers to those two essential questions:
- Who am I?I am a child of God, created in His image to live in union with Him.
- Why am I here?To fulfill His will on earth as it is in heaven.
Everything I do—through writing, teaching, and leading—is for His glory. The Life with God Movement is His work, and I am honored to be a part of it.
