glennon doyle + abby wambach | couple things with shawn and andrew 

I found myself smiling listening to these amazing couples. Such wisdom, love and authenticity.

I absolutely love how Glennon speaks about who Jesus was and is - and what living a life like Jesus actually looks like. I also love them as a couple, and independently, and love getting to hear them speak in any capacity. So thank you for having them on!

Love when Abby says they don’t try to change peoples mind just try to educate it.... perfect

Great episode! Love that you guys were willing to have this discussion knowing how it would be received by some.

I love seeing the adoration Abby shows in the way she looks at Glennon. The reverse holds true, too.

Untamed is one of my favorite books. I read it recovering from Bulimia in the pandemic and it really kickstarted my progress. Glennon is a hero.

This was an awesome video to watch...great watch. I'm happy I came across this to start my morning

Only 10 minutes in and popping down to the comment section for the first time to say thank you. I love your podcast always- but this one feels incredibly meaningful! As a bi-woman of faith, hearing two powerful women speak with love and integrity is beyond impactful.

It's a good thing that someone with a platform is able to help people find themselves and be who they truly are. I'm fortunate to have lived in a community where acceptance and celebration of people living authentically was part of life. They will always be differences of opinions and views about how people should be and how people should live.

45:14 Abby: "2 women who r very introspective, philosophical, spiritual & seekers & mystics" & gave us a lot of wisdom here

Great guests. Abby is right, Glennon can communicate in a way that can really reach people. What a blessing you are as a team.

I LOVE that they talked about going on a family vacation with her ex. I grew up in a split family from the age of 18 months. But my parents were always friends and could talk without screaming at each other. We also spent holidays together so I never had to pick which parent I wanted to see or be shuffled between the two just when I was enjoying my day. We did have some struggles with step parents but they were told to deal. And I’ve been telling people I’m a recovering Catholic for years so I laughed out loud when I heard Abby say that! Love it. I’m a Christian.

May we all meet our "Abby" as Glennon did.

Best one yet! They do have so much wisdom, could listen to them forever. Love you View on god and how he lives within us.

Oxymoronic: Jesus and Christianity can be different? How? Christian means follower of Christ! What you guys don't like is the condemnation of sin. Jesus NEVER met a sinner that he healed of forgave that he did not tell them to go and sin no more. You guys love the fact that Jesus went amongst sinners, but you failed to understand why. Jesus was not received by his own, so Jesus went to those who had an ear to hear. The Jews were jealous of Christ because of him having knowledge and abilities given him by the Holy Spirit that they did not have. So, in turn Christ went to those in need of forgiveness and healing that would listen to his message. Christ never appoved of their sins, otherwise he would have left them in them. Jesus called out sin, and had the power to forgive it. Go and sin no more does not sound like his condoning sin. Also, if he came to take away the sins 1Jn. 3:5 why in the world would he have taken that brutal beating just to leave us in sin with his approval? The math ain't mathing. I love you all enough to tell you the truth in the hopes that you will repent before it's everlasting and too late.

Love love love this interview! Thank you for giving us an opportunity to witness the deep love of Glennon & Abby and the way they take that love into the world as activism.

Wow! Such a good episode. Really got a lot out of it. 🙏🏻🕊 Thanks~

Loved, loved, loved this podcast....thank you!!!

Please please please!!! Do another podcast or IGTV story of Andrew and Glennon discussing theology. I’m begging! I’m desperate to listen to two rational, intelligent, thoughtful individuals have this conversation.

The hand holding at 44:20 after what was said before is MELTING me ❤️❤️❤️

This was wonderful thank you ☺️

Hi Shawn and Andrew, thank you so much for this 💜 always great to hear good stories and to watch LGBT couples being treated with equality and respect.

Thank you so much for bringing this amazing couple on, been waiting for something like this. Representation and conversation is much needed.

27:31 Glennon, tears welled up in my eyes wen u said it was God & Abby together leaving the church, not Abby leaving the church & God. so true, so true. so profound!!

Really appreciated this video! As a Christian, I found it helpful to hear an outside perspective on the church, and very insightful on how we can better reach the gay community and not shut them out! It is so important as Christians for us to look at our own brokenness before judging the brokenness of others! Our humility and openness to have relationship despite our differences in belief are the greatest demonstration of the Gospel, and I think Andrew and Shawn were very brave in opening up this conversation!☺ Thanks guys!

Best episode EVER. Please don't let the negative comments convince you otherwise. This conversation was so important!!

This has got to be one of my favorite episodes you guys have done yet! Both of you guys are such amazing couples! Abby and Glennon are so inspiring and uplifting!

*sorry this comment is so long....a lot to express* Talk about an amazing podcast! Listening to your conversation with Abby & Glennon was chicken noodle soup for my soul. We have differences in our beliefs, the truth is we are so much more alike than different. Embrace & respect one another. We all want the same things in life as Glennon so beautifully explained, our deepest desire as human beings is to be loved, seen, heard & accepting of ourselves & others. Thank you for that nugget of hope to hold tight to as I've been lacking in that department. I was very touched by the way Abby & Glennon interacted. Wow. Talk about two amazing and loving spirits. Living thru 2020 has been the hardest year of my life. I count my blessings bc I know so many of our brothers and sisters are suffering far more than I can fathom. I want a future where all human beings are acceped, valued, appreciated, loved and safe. Thank you Shawn and Andrew. I learned a lot about myself too along the way. I'm greatful for to all of you. ❤️🤗

Omg this conversation was so amazing!!! Thank you!

I would love to hear a video of Andrew and Shawn sharing their opinions on this conversation separately. Like a commentary or follow up to this video just with Andrew and Shawn on their thoughts and feelings.

Guys. I just love you so much... Andrew! You’re a *fantastic* man, you seem so nice (and you’re hilarious) your daughter looks just like you!! Shawn, I am not American, but holy moly. When you won that gold medal, I had to sing your national anthem! And you are so much more than that. Such an inspiration... Anyhoo. Love from France ❤️

I love this so much 🥺 thank you for having them!!!!

Definitely need a part 2!!! I love them both-such wisdom and love. Would love to be a part of their circle!!!

I love Shawn’s laugh. It’s so delightful.

There should be a 2nd or part 2, beautifully spoken, I really enjoyed this.

Abby is my freaking spirit animal! What a legend!!!!!!

Thank you for interviewing my FAVORITE couple, I've been waiting for this interview for a LONG time!!

I love this so much. "Walking away to protect God in her." Holy are you, human beings filled with love. Thank you so much for these conversations.

My favorite episode so far! This was amazing. Their wisdom is so powerful!

By FAR the best episode! A lot of the other couples on here have had very similar stories and it was getting a little repetitive - I had been waiting for some couples with totally different stories and perspectives and this one delivered. Glennon's conversation with Andrew was fascinating (and I'm agnostic at best) and I could have listened to them talk for another hour. I hope this conversation opened the hearts of more listeners because love is love - and if people still have hate in their hearts after this, they need to get a hobby. Really wonderful. ❤️

Wise words, Glennon! Choose God over church, like Abby!

I was waiting to hear their answers to the questions you ask all your couples (pet peeves, things you love the most about, etc.) I would’ve loved to hear their answers....maybe next time!

Finally!!!! I have waited sooooooo long!!!

By far my favorite interview EVER!!! I could listen to them all day. Thank you!!!

Shawn and Andrew I have listened to many of your podcasts and loved some and some not so much. This one I was glad there was a stop button because I didn't feel like the discussion was of God's Biblical Word. As we can all translate the Bible to say what we want it to say. No sin is worse than the other. Most importantly is that you give your life to Christ, confess Him as your Lord and Savior, acknowledge that He died on the Cross to save you from your sins. Then you will be called a child of Gods. We all have to answer to ONE GOD at the end of our lives and He will be the ONE to either welcome us home or ask who we are for He never knew us because we had forsaken Him here on earth. It is black and white.

Nothing wrong with interviewing this couple but please ANDREW, stand by your convictions and Biblical truth. This couple obviously stood for what they believe in but why do so many Christian's always kowtow on their Christian principles when faced with opposing views. Also, as a Christian Andrew, please don't sit back and allow the Word of God to be taken out of context or misquoted. Always stand firm on the truth of God's Word. Marriage is ordained by God as a union of one man and one woman. Truth is not simply what is believed (being "true" to yourself). A lie believed is still a lie. LOVE is not affirming someone's sin, LOVE is to share the TRUTH of the Gospel and the love and grace of God! The Bible clearly defines sin and TRUTH is ABSOLUTE and not defined by social consensus.

I haven’t even finished watching and this is the best conversation I’ve ever heard!!

Abby wambach is from my hometown of Rochester New York!

Wow I think I learned more about life in this hour than I have learnt in 57 years. I

Great interview to get Shawn and Andrew. What a nurturing conversation for everyone, parents or not, these are lesson that some of us need at any age. Thank you to all four!

I could listen to Glennon's voice all day

Andrew, I see where you were headed in relation to God in us. You don't want to misrepresent who God is (holy/pure) and there's a fine line between being "Christ Like" and being Christ. Overall great conversation opening the floor to different opinions.

Very disappointed in this episode. I listened to the entire thing. This is not in line with God's Word at all.

Loved it

respect this conversation totally. one thing i think that is missing from this conversation is Gods word from scripture. This is a great horizontal conversation. It would be nice to make it a triangle conversation, including Gods words into this. Because you all have background and experience with the word. Our deepest, truest desires - where did they come from? That 'want' comes from God. imo. thanks for being so open. I really liked your identity conversation. if i heard it right, there were 2 identity, one you feel and one you present. I gently would like to suggest that God created and loves your true identity. And thats worth looking for as well. all being said - love you guys tons, tons. thanks for sharing and being so open.

Such an amazing conversation. Thank you!

what a gift to your pod to have these truth tellers! good for you guys so awesome!

You guys are awesome! Really admirable that you interviewed Glennon and Abby knowing that so many of your subscribers would revolt. It's powerful and we need more people like you. Due to your audience, you have a unique opportunity to spread diversity and love of all kinds, something that a big part of your audience needs to see and feel like it's normalized. Don't get discouraged by the unsubscribers, you gotta lose some to gain some, and in the end, you are doing the right thing. God bless and keep on rocking!

I wish this could've gone on for hours. what amazing conversation

41:57 Abby: "wen i'm doing something true to who I am it will be in line w/ the 🌎" this has to be the epitome of The Truth Will Set U Free😊

Ahhhh yes!!!!! I LOVE Abby and Glennon!!! I am a huge soccer fan so this made my day, thank you! And I love this conversation and was very much captivated by the conversation. It is something I struggle with when it comes to religion. I grew up catholic and now struggle with how and the specifics of what I believe in. I am a straight cis gender woman who has family and friends who are LGBTQ+, who never understand the concept of religion and sexuality since we are made In the image of God so how could being gay be a negative thing. I have some moral ideals that I believe are fundamental as humans that does not go with the church’s doctrine, but I can look myself in the mirror at night and go to sleep soundly because I know I am a good, kind person. I resonated so much with what Abby and especially what Glennon had to say. So thank you for making a space for this. Love you guys!!!!

Loved this podcast! My favorite one you’ve done so far, I’ve never saved a podcast so fast. I couldn’t believe you got Glennon Doyle but then on top of it you gave a great interview that sparked interesting conversation. Keep up the great content! Sending love from Canada 🇨🇦

Absolutely love Abby and Glennon ❤🧡💛💚💙💙💜🤎

Loved this and will be following you! Abby and Glennon are amazing! !!

God IS love. We are born in the image and likeness of God . How can we not be God within and without... Glennon’s ability to identify and clarify that to a wounded woman... who felt she had to decide between God and her true self... who God made her to be!? So powerful. So exciting to see God working through Glennon to free Abby’s fear and defiant defense of herself, wounded, pained child of God, and to allow herself to see that she IS love. She IS the image and likeness of God. She IS exactly the perfect storm of brilliance that God made her to be! I am just thrilled to listen to this discussion! And please don’t think I am speaking down to you, Abby... you are a rock star human being. I have such respect for you both!

Love Glennon and Abby!

I believe the Lords word , Jesus himself said, deny yourself and take up your cross and follow me

Amazing, wonderful, totally best “Couple Things”. Great job Andrew and Shawn 🤩🤩🤩

Best episode ever! Love you all! (Also, I notice that Shawn calls Drew 'Drew Hazel' a lot and Andrew calls her 'Drewbers'! Super cute!)

I love all of theses women

Finding our own self in the midst of constant outside pressures from society comes from within, but doesn’t have to be a lonely, entirely self-led experience. Thank you for sharing.

How do these keep getting better? I loved this conversation!!!!! So much fun to listen to and what a cool Couple!!!!!

A must read...Not A Day Care, written by Dr. Everett Piper. "The devastating consequences of abandoning truth"

god is nature and nature is god. It’s an identity!

My favorite episode by far! Although we need a bonus clip cause you didn’t ask them the relationship questions! Those are my favorite to hear 😍😃

33:10 Glennon: Jesus & Christianity to me can be 2 very different things a-ha finally someone else recognizes this! this rings so true to me b/c I see all these people-- so-called Christians-- in my hometown & also people in the public eye being sooo :: exclusionary not inclusive being judgemental not accepting being stingy not giving being selfish not sacrificing being pro-life & not caring one bit bout people dying of Covid not acting like Jesus in many ways yet they luuuuvvvvv their "self title of being a Christian"

HUGE USWNT fan so I’m pumped for this episode! Love Abby❤️

This was an incredible discussion!!! LOVE this.

listening to this while I go on my walk!!!

Praying for wisdom for you Andrew and Shawn. First and foremost, I'm a sinner every. single. day. I'm thankful for a Savior who forgives and extends grace. But this truly was disappointing to me. You guys have a huge platform. A lot of people look up to you. Please make sure to dive deeper into the Word of God and speak truth. God's truth. Not the "truth" of humans who twist scripture to get themselves off the hook. God is a loving God, but He's also a just God. Just like a parent/child relationship, there are rules set in place that He made for our good. The Bible is crystal clear on homosexuality. Yes, God wants us to love everybody, but sometimes love means having tough conversations with people and holding them accountable. Going out of our comfort zone and shedding light on something we KNOW is wrong according to God's Word. It's not our job to bring them to their knees in repentance and spread judgement. But I do think sharing with them privately what God's word says about marriage between one man and one woman is loving them. Not in the worlds eyes. But in the eyes of our heavenly Father. He wants each one of us to enjoy marriage, enjoy life abundantly and he knows how we can experience that joy because He created us. It's our job as christians to follow HIS desire for marriage and be obedient to HIS definition of a marriage covenant. As a Christian, NO don't treat gays meanly or harshly. But be up front with exactly where you stand in your beliefs and don't stray from the Bible. Stand up for what is right and don't conform to this world. As a huge media influencer, the content you share reaches several ears. Be careful what you condone. Especially If you claim to be christians and share christian content. This video is deceiving to both new and mature christians. We are told to not be a stumbling block for anybody. Your choice of using this couple to "inspire" others is unwise. I'm praying that God will instill wisdom in you to use your platform and voice for His glory and to spread the Gospel, (the hard truths as well.)

Soooo the conversation close to the end ,turns towards children...for some reason I encourage EVERYONE to look up Doloras Cannon and her lifestyle work. SHE passed in 2014..but is definantly still alive threw her work...I really think the 4 of you and many readers may find her very intregeing

Best Couple Things EVER!!!

Oh wow, this is awesome, you guys!

Love these two

Love, love, love this interview! ❤️❤️❤️

I want one of Abbys shirts!! Really enjoyed this couple things!

That was an amazing conversation!

Andrew, completely agree that we are Gods creations. No humanbeing, in the flesh, is God or even close to "God-like". BUT I respected this conversation because having a relationship with Christ myself, its hard for me to get deeper insight besides just seeing protests or posts on social media.

Abby 💛 yor hair & yor shirt! Glennon 💙 yor hair & the color. I can't tell if it has a pink or blue tint?

This was so good!

Hmmm... as a Christian couple it makes me sad to be supportive to same sex marriage... the BIBLE IS CLEARLY against same sex marriage, and it is clearly a SIN. We are all people of GOD yes, but we have to stand firm on his word, and what his word says. I love you both, but it really makes me weary of the what you preach or say you believe.

We are going to need a part two!!

I felt like it was just a friendly catch up with friends. It was really nice listening to this today! :) All the best to all.

Seriously???

It seems to me that Andrew needs to read Glennon s book. Abby and Glennon are GREAT. You can sense his discomfort due to his rigid religious background that is imprisoning his spirit and heart and growth. Shawn is light years ahead of him on this issue clearly. I like Andrew but he might need to re think his parents expectations of him and if those rules still apply to him as an adult. Can they still love him if he can fully support a gay couple? As I read these "Christian" comments, I am saddened. These two people, Glennon and Abby do the Lords real work. They show up to be better people, better parents and better citizens of the planet. what is wrong with that?

Church & manmade religions hav done so much to harm that goes against so much of wat we r to believe about Jesus & God. like unconditional love

some of these “christian” comments ain’t sitting too right with me.......i personally loved this podcast. would love for y’all to interview more gay couples in this coming new year!!!

This is sad. I loved watching this podcast but I will have to unsubscribe. This world is twisting verses in the Bible to fit what they want in life. God never changes and His word never changes. It clearly states in scripture that same sex marriage is wrong. I have gay people in my family. I love them dearly but as a Christian I know it’s not right. I’m not perfect, by any means. I have sinned but I try every day to overcome giving into sin. Don’t give in to evil. Turn to God and He will take away all of your struggles. God bless ❤️

I got to the end of this video and my first thought was I want and need to watch this again!

20:53 God is not religion. Religion is NOT God. o. m. g. this is wat has been missing in the conversation wen it comes to understanding faith & religion. Religions can be sooo tainted that we end up giving up on God. wat. a. travesty. God must be soooooo disheartened & devastated by wat religion has done in His name
