Hey there! I’m Shawn Reinsel—43 years old, married to my best friend and greatest gift, Dana, and the proud (and heavily outnumbered) dad of six incredible sons: John, Ximon, James, Ezekiel, Corban, and Jordan. We’re almost empty nesters now—just John still lives at home full-time, which means the house is slightly quieter, the fridge slightly fuller, and the laundry only moderately overflowing.
I was born and raised in beautiful Colorado and met Jesus at the age of 12. Since then, I’ve spent over 30 years learning to follow Him—through every high and low, He’s been faithful. I went to Bible College in Marietta and have served the church in just about every role imaginable: janitor, youth pastor, worship leader, missionary, assistant pastor, small groups pastor, church planter, call-in radio host, and lead pastor. Every role has shaped me—but all of it points back to a singular passion: helping people truly know Jesus and live in the power of His grace.
In 2023, I wrote a book called Simple Grace, and for the last couple of years, I’ve had the joy of training pastors around the world through SimpleGrace.life—equipping leaders to rest in the finished work of Christ and lead from a place of grace, not pressure.
Now, I’ve been called to serve as the pastor of OneTwo Church to continue the amazing gospel foundation Matthew Wyatt laid here since 2021. I couldn’t be more grateful or excited for what God has ahead.
And now, meet Dana—my better, wiser, and significantly more organized half.
Dana and I have been married for 16 years, and she’s the absolute joy of my life. She’s a passionate budget-keeper, doodle-lover (we both are!), sugar glider whisperer, and the reason anything in our world works smoothly. She’s brilliant—having built a successful business from the ground up—and has the uncanny ability to keep our house, hearts, and finances running with grace and grit. She’s also the funniest person I know, though I’m still trying to beat her record on dad jokes.
Both of us come from wild, redemptive stories. We walked through the heartbreak of broken marriages in the mid-2000s, and it was in those valleys that we encountered the staggering, rescuing grace of God. Our story is one of restoration, healing, and hope—a testament to how God writes new chapters we never could’ve scripted on our own.

Together, our heart is simple: to help the Church walk in the fullness of what Jesus has already done, and to live in the everyday reality of His grace.
