About this episode

Annie F. Downs discusses community and commitment with guests Shawn Johnson and Andrew East, exploring their experiences and insights.

We’re talking about community and commitment today… something we all can get a little bit better at, and one of my favorite couples is joining us for this conversation.  I’ve watched Shawn Johnson and Andrew East build such beautiful friendships here in Nashville, both in their season of life before kids and now with kids. As we get spiritually stronger, this is our reminder that we do not have to do that alone. We’re going to spend the next few weeks really talking about what it looks like to commit to community, how to communicate well, and why it matters. Their new book, The Courage to Commit, recently hit the New York Times bestseller list, and we got to celebrate that at the start of the show because there’s always a good reason to pull out the confetti poppers. Shawn and Andrew joined us back in 2019 for our couples series AND you can find them in episode 5 of my TV show, I Gotta Ask. They are just such kind and wise friends who are navigating both parenting, marriage, businesses, and casually winning reality shows like Special Forces. You know we had to talk about it. . . . .  Thank you to our sponsors…
