Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew

I LOVE the raw and realness of these episodes. I have learned so so much through each episode you guys put out but I have to say my favorite thing about it this pod is the true emotional realness you guys are willing to share, it feels like listening to friends talk. And it’s always SO relatable. Obsessed with both of you, and thankful for this podcast!❤️

I have been listening to this podcast for a couple of years now and I think Shawn and Andrew overall produce great content. In the most recent episode about faith, I agreed with much of what Andrew was trying to say and was able to fill in the gaps to some thoughts that maybe weren’t articulated as well as they could have been. Andrew has been tackling some heavy topics lately and I’m convinced that Shawn enjoys arguing more than listening to his perspective. I’m tired of her splitting hairs so often! They often have the same perspective but Shawn just has to nit pick the wording of it all. I think she brings in great perspective from someone that is less analytical and more emotionally driven, but the podcast would be much more enjoyable to listen to without so much argumentation. I felt this way about the topic they covered on not needing to make your spouse happy as well. In the end, our purpose, happiness, and fulfillment comes from pursing Christ. Happiness from a relationship with Christ is permanent. Happiness from a spouse is fleeting and should never be the main source. I totally get what Andrew has been trying to communicate. I also think Shawn is constantly assuming Andrew’s motives and she needs to focus less on assuming and more on listening.

I’m struggling so much to listen to the latest episode. Andrew was basically trying to explain that whatever you’re idolizing in your life is your God. Yes, There is only one God. But if you idolize the games in your life or your children or whatever it is, that becomes your God (on how you worship it and put so much stock in that thing) and you’re not actually putting GOD FIRST. Shawn is being very critical and not letting him explain or get through his explanation and saying she completely disagrees when she doesn’t even understand what he is saying. This was a tough listen.

Listening to Andrew chastise Bri was cringy. Acting like he cares but the way it came off was too much.
