Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew

Today’s conversation was such a meaningful one, wow we loved this couple. Rebecca St. James has won countless Grammy and Dove awards, is an accomplished actress and the author of more than a dozen books. You probably recognize her husband, Cubbie Fink, as a founding member of the multi-platinum Grammy-nominated band Foster the People. While they’ve both experienced high success, one of the coolest things about them is that they’ve been so open about the hard seasons they've walked through together and it’s helped so many people. In their new book, they open up about their journey with infertility, childhood trauma, depression, processing emotions, career, parenting and more. Honestly anyone can learn something from their story, they’re amazing. We hope if you’re going through a hard season, after listening to this episode you feel encouraged to keep going.  We love you!Shawn & AndrewGet a copy of their book “Lasting Ever” ▶ https://www.amazon.com/Lasting-Ever-Faith-Music-Family/dp/0830787852/Follow along with Rebecca ▶ https://www.instagram.com/rebeccast.james/?hl=enFollow our podcast Instagram  ▶ https://www.instagram.com/shawnandandrewpods/Subscribe to our newsletter  ▶ https://www.familymade.com/newsletterFollow My Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/ShawnJohnsonFollow My Tik Tok ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@shawnjohnsonShop My LTK Page ▶ https://www.shopltk.com/explore/shawnjohnson Like the Facebook page! ▶ https://www.facebook.com/ShawnJohnsonFollow Andrew’s Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/AndrewDEastAndrew’s Tik Tok ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@andrewdeast?lang=en Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we got to talk about one of our biggest passions in life and that’s family. Our incredibly wise guest, Jeremy Pryor, is basically an expert on this, as he’s founded several businesses and nonprofits including FamilyTeams, which provides training content for families around the world. He’s also a husband and dad of five so he really knows what he’s talking about :)  We got to dive into how to build a strong family unit, what we can learn about the importance of family from different cultures, leaving a legacy for generations to come and more! This was a really important conversation and one we’ll definitely revisit to stay on track with our own family “team”  :) Love you guys!Shawn & AndrewFollow Jeremy on Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/jeremympryor/Follow our podcast Instagram  ▶ https://www.instagram.com/shawnandandrewpods/Subscribe to our newsletter  ▶ https://www.familymade.com/newsletterFollow My Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/ShawnJohnsonFollow My Tik Tok ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@shawnjohnsonShop My LTK Page ▶ https://www.shopltk.com/explore/shawnjohnson Like the Facebook page! ▶ https://www.facebook.com/ShawnJohnsonFollow Andrew’s Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/AndrewDEastAndrew’s Tik Tok ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@andrewdeast?lang=en Learn more about your ad choices.

You may know John from his most popular book, Wild at Heart, a book Andrew recommends to everyone. “Wild at Heart” has inspired a ministry that currently includes events, retreats , a podcast and several additional books published by John.
