Before going on Survivor, Shan was a pastor at the Fellowship Church in Los Angeles. Despite her religious background, however, Shan isn’t afraid to make big moves. Apparently, her senior pastor “blessed” Shan with some pre-forgiveness. She explained, “My senior pastor ‘released’ me. He told me, ‘Just go play the game and we will deal with all of that when you get back.’”

And we can understand why he’s forgiving! Shan clearly has a bright and loving spirit, which is part of what makes it so easy for her to connect with (and later manipulate) the other contestants.

Add in her goofy attitude and acting chops, and Shan is a pastor like no other. Her social media proves that she’s found unique ways to spread her beliefs and reach out to people who might need a little bit of spirituality but wouldn’t typically seek it out.

Using her comedic personality, Shan has made viral videos about being a millennial who comes from a difficult past and joins the church. They’re hilarious, so it seems like Shan has found her true calling. We also can’t deny that she has the best Survivor instincts we’ve seen in a long time.
