Shane was raised in a pastor's home, with both grandfathers also serving as pastors and ministers. In his late twenties, he entered a long season of wandering from the faith he was raised in. He describes the return in one line that recurs across his work: *"Grace has a long reach, and you can't outrun the feet of Jesus."* He writes for readers who have lived both the running and the return.

Outside of writing and speaking, Shane has led a home-services company in the greater Houston area for more than fifteen years, and is an audiophile with a 2,000+ album vinyl collection spanning jazz, funk, rock, soul, gospel, R&B, and Dolly Parton.
