I loved this interview! Mandy and Danae are young, adventurous, thoughtful, and project positivity! I hope their blessings continue.

Christ teaches to love ALL people. You don’t have to agree with the lifestyle but need to love the person!!!! So quit with the hateful comments!

I love Mandy & Danae! It's refreshing to hear a couple speak of not only the good parts but the struggles in navigating a relationship as well. Kudos to each of you!

Haven’t watched in a while. This episode brought me back. Love this!

Dang if you do, dang if you dont. I am a Christian, and get so disappointed when Christians are the most judgmental people out there. I love you guys and your podcast.

Was thrilled and honestly surprised to see Mandie and Danae on the podcast today! Unfortunately, however, am not surprised by the comment section.

Totally resonate with their story, thanks for giving this message a platform 🙏

Great interview I follow Mandie & Danae so love them both so much, thank you for this episode.

I love that you finally had someone from the LGBT community on. I’ve always wondered if y’all were friendly to us, and this is refreshing to see. ❤ good people all around.

Thank you for this podcast episode Shawn and Andrew!

Such a great interview!!

Listened to this driving to work yesterday!! Just love Danae and Mandie and had no idea they were in Nashville!! Great interview!!

Enjoyed this one! Sad to see such terrible comments though

Mandy and Danae are my heroes even though I am a senior, white, straight man. Everybody should have the humor of Danae and the wisdom of Mandy.

Folks please be respectful. Even if you disagree. Especially if you went straight to the comments section.

Such an amazing episode and incredible couple!!

Please say there is a part 2 of this podcast. It has been one of the top 10 best ones. Blessings!

Shawn and Andrew, thank you for bringing this podcast to us. This is what real life and real human interactions should look like. If more people could sit down and have respectful and enlightening conversations like this, our country would be in a much better place. ❤

Shawn and Andrew, I'm so happy you brought on a Christian gay couple and are helping show the world that the two are not opposite! I feel so strongly about that as a Christian, and it's so encouraging that more people are seeing that ❤️

" I WISH YOU WERE MY SISTER DANAE! " (PTSD) I HAVE NO SELF WORTH-(Straight)You ladies are an perfect couple. Your funny, hardworking, and you give great tips on life, You compliment each other.. Congratulations ladies and I wish you both many many lifetimes of love, friendship, laughter, and happiness ❤ Lead with empathy and just listen to others! 🙂 👍❤ 🙂 👍

Great episode. For those of you saying you are disappointed… get over yourself. Don’t be the typical hypocritical/ / how holy art thou “Christian” 😂. We are all made in the image and likeness of God. And it’s only Gods place to judge, so keep your useless opinions to yourself. Or as my parents would say “having an opinion on someone else’s lifestyle is like being upset that the person infront of you at Subway didn’t order the same sub as you….”. Mind your own business and don’t yuck someone else’s yum, it’s doing you zero harm.

This! As an ally that goes to an affirming church, we need more of this.

MY DAD WAS MY BIGGEST CHEERLEADER AS WELL, MY MOM HAD A VERY HARD TIME WITH IT, BUT WE ARE BEST FRIENDS NOW!!

God is still speaking. And he wants you to love everbody.

This is so refreshing to see what TRUE "love all people" leadership looks like 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

This comment section sucks lol Shawn and Andrew should address this hateful comment section of “Christians” 😅😅

Everyone deserves a parental unit like Danae was blessed with.

So awesome.

Just beautiful! I love, love!

Y’all’s support for each other is beautiful! Love me some Shawn but shooting for Simone, Gabby, Jordan, and Suni!!!

Y’all don’t be Facebook old people haters! We are people too! Show some empathy! Roll Tide!

I love Danae and Mandie they are so real…

Watching Danae & Mandy’s “love story” is both bitter and sweet for me. I identify with Danae’s mother because my identical twin sister left a heterosexual relationship for a homosexual one. She was in the homosexual lifestyle for 20 years. It was a extremely painful to watch my twin break away from her Christian upbringing to explore “spirituality” in gay affirming, universal churches that teach their followers to become their own inner Goddess; hell is a fictitious place; and all “good” people go to heaven or they get reincarnated, if they weren’t good enough to make it to paradise, the first round. Danae has been estranged from her mother for five years. And she has turned herself into a victim by stating that her mother’s religious upbringing and conversion therapy is what caused her the “trauma” that remains with her today. I don’t doubt that Danae has experienced emotional pain, self doubt, confusion, and self loathing given that her parents have responded to her adult choices very differently. Her Dad has embraced her choices, whereas her mother has rejected them. It is easy for me to see that Danae became “the boy that her father always wanted!” She imprinted on him, just like my twin sister imprinted on our father. What is most likely missing from Danae and Mandy’s story is the high probability that one or both have been sexually violated or assaulted by a male sometime during their earlier years. Statistics show an alarming percentage of lesbians and bisexual females were sexually assaulted. Sexual trauma then causes a psychological break - (an unconscious fear) of being in a relationship with (the same sex of the person) who sexually harmed them. In his book “Homosexuality and the Politics of Truth,”. Dr. Jeffrey Satinover discusses his research with identical twin sets (both male and female). Out of the 500 sets of identical twins 👯‍♂️ he studied, he did not find one set where both twins were gay. His reasoning is that both twins can not be in the same places, experiencing the same things, every minute of their lives. My twin was sexually assaulted in childhood (by neighbor boys) whereas, I was not. I do not understand why Danae has chosen to remain estranged from her mother. To do so, is to remove 50% of herself. Had my twin done this to me, I would have been devastated! While my twin was living a lifestyle that I could not affirm, I loved her unconditionally! I welcomed her and her partners into my home (with boundaries in place), and I never discussed my sister’s choices UNLESS she brought them up to me (which often times, she did). After my twin turned 50, she walked away from her sinful lifestyle, asked God for forgiveness, and re-dedicated her life to Jesus. The turning point for her was she was tired of receiving curses in her life, and no longer receiving blessings. She grew weary of carrying shame and not living in peace and contentment with God. Purposely removing yourself from family who love you, who spent many years nurturing and raising you is a sin! Specifically the sin of divisiveness. Satan wins when we divide ourselves into us/them. When we cannot tolerate someone else’s beliefs that does not line up with ours, the world 🌍 instructs us to cancel them. To go no contact, and to label them “toxic.@ My prayer 🙏 for Danae is to reestablish a connection with her mother. To set some ground rules on what is allowable topics and what is not. HATE is a three legged stool of Isolation, fear, and anger. Replace one of the legs with LOVE and the relationship has a chance of being restored. Doing nothing to this stool of hate, hurts yourself and the people who love you. Loving someone does not mean we have to approve all of their choices…..sometimes we have to agree to disagree.

I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE Mandie & Danaes story seriously.❤️‍🔥🥹

I see two beautiful people just live love and it makes your relationship like Mandie says refreshing.

As believers, it’s not judgmental to be a little shocked by this episode. If you know, you know. It’s not about being unloving. It’s about being bold in faith and what you represent. You can love people and still stand for truth. That is all.

Look at you momma!! Lookin good 🎉❤

I follow them on Tik Tok . Love Them

Listening to someone else's feelings is the most that that person loves the most, when you have a spouse that'll just sit there and listen to you that makes you love them more just to have them there when your going through trauma or anxiety it's good to have that person to sit and just listen even if they don't give you answers they can't you gotta have them to just sit and listen without getting mad with you.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW ME (C)2006

I was trying to catch up on episodes since I’ve missed in life’s craziness but man this sucked to see show up. I think as Christians it’s one thing to accept others choices and not treat people who are in different walks of life differently but it’s another to support and broadcast something that is just so against gods word.

👏🏼

To my fellow Christians: lead with empathy (as Mandie so beautifully says in the episode). If you'd like to know why there are some Christians who support gay marriage (and yes, we read our Bibles), and you are willing to approach this topic with an open mind, I highly recommend reading Torn by Justin Lee. You may not come to the same theological conclusions as he does, but you may come away with more empathy/kindness. To Mandie and Danae: thank you so much for being vulnerable and bravely sharing your story. Danae, I'm sorry for the religious trauma you've experienced and for the ongoing pain of estrangement...bravo for making choices that preserve your mental health and for doing the hard work in therapy. And it is clear that Mandie has been an incredible support. Shawn and Andrew, thank you, thank you, so much for this episode.

Andrew and Shawn read your Bible cover to cover. Telling the truth is love. We can not pick and choose what we agree with from the Bible. I do want to be clear, if these women are not Christians they have free will to live as they please. If they are Christian and you are Christians you are to lovingly tell them what the Bible says. If they ask what you believe you are to truthfully share what the Bible says. No where in scripture is homosexuality condoned. It is listed with all other sins.

“There is no hate like Christian love”

Who knew Mel Robbins was her wingman

I agree with this comment: To tell people the truth is love. Sin is sin. There is no where in the Bible that supports homosexuality in any faith. People who claim to be Christian need to read the Bible front to back. If the guests aren’t Christians they are not held to that standard. The disappointment comes from Andrew and Shawn being Christians and not addressing that they either agree with or disagree with this sin. It comes off as they do. Like I said, non believers are not held to the Bible standards and have free will to live as they choose. But if you are asking a Christian person what they believe, it’s directly from the Bible.

I’ve actually always thought Shawn and Andrew didn’t support the LGBTQ+ community. I clicked so fast when I saw this bc I was so pleasantly surprised to see this upload from them. Good for you, S&A.

Some of y'all on here need to really check y'alls self. Y'all being judgemental are the reason people move away from Christianity that's the truth. Shouldn't judge people because of who they are.

This is so disheartening to see you side with the world and not the Bible.

❤

this is really sad. we need to be loving towards all, as Christians. At the same time we can't condone "marriage" that is not marriage as God created. shawn and andrew are failing as Christians by condoning this. Mandie and Danae are precious souls from God and deserve all of the love and the truth of who God calls them to be. Tolerating sin is a grave disservice to both of them. We all have to pick up the crosses of the sins we fall for, and these women should be encouraged to pick up the cross of their disordered desires (we all have disordered desires) and strive for holiness in Jesus. Shawn and Andrew, please repent and do better. This is no longer family friendly content. Family was created by God with a man and a woman and their children. Children have a right to their mom and dad together in true marriage. You should be ashamed to call this "familymade".

Whoa. 😦 This is an interesting conversation to listen to. It is brave to have such guests that open the floor to this discussion of controversy... Homosexuality. The fact that God is referenced and quoted here gives way to BOTH sides, and the 'not so comfortable' Truth should also be shared/ spoken of. God does not condone this lifestyle choice. Plain and simply. Straight or homosexual, there is a deep, individual relationship to be had with God. I'm thankful Danae is now in one with our Creator. He loves us even as the sinners we are, yet He does NOT love and approve of sinful choices we make. Making mistakes/ messing up is inevitable. He grants mercy and grace, and He forgives, over and over. It's choosing a lifestyle of habitually living in disregard of His instructions where the danger is prevalent. While we are to love everyone, this does not mean to edify behavior and choices that God says are an abomination, which He says towards the homosexual lifestyle. I hope that since you two chose to have these guests on, you will be open to going deeper in discussion about your faith and what you will promote on your channel. I am in no way indicating that homosexuals should not be welcome; I am simply saying that given your biblical beliefs that have been shared thus far, I hope you will be willing to get uncomfortable and go further with this topic. 💙

Andrew and Shawn, y’all say y’all are Christian and y’all waited until y’all said “I Do!” Yall consummated your marriage. Yall know how good and powerful that is, and yet y’all are going to acknowledge that homosexuals can be married to each other? Seriously? Nobody can out love God. We are human beings. We cannot do better than Him. God IS love and is a God of order. He didn’t just declare marriage to be man and woman. He literally created it that way, Gen two: 24-25; 1 Corinthians six: 16. People tell Christians to get over themselves? Human beings need to get over themselves. “Today, some Christians are content to merely exist until they die. They don’t want to risk anything, to believe God, to grow or mature. They refuse to believe His Word, and have become hardened in their unbelief. Now they’re living just to die.” - David Wilkerson “Too many people want a God that saves them, but doesn’t change them. The Gospel does not work like that.” - Shane Pruitt

I woke up the other morning and I heard a word from the Lord for you guys, I want to be faithful…. I wasn’t planning on sending this but I feel convicted to say this….you are gaining the world but loosing your soul. There are the moments when we want to please the world and be okay with the worlds agendas like gay/lesbian ….But at what cost? To loose your own soul? Seek the Word of God on this matter and I genuinely really care for your family. Blessings

Amen love what she said. Everyone deserves to live their authentic life. People just need to quit using their sexuality as their identity.

I appreciate that they aren't in your face about their lifestyle and wanting everyone to agree with it. They seem like really cool, kind people. With that said, having them on condones their lifestyle, and with yalls channel having faith incorporated, I find that disappointing since God's teaching on this is quite clear. It's not a worse sin than any other immoral behavior, but it is still wrong.

To all of you that seem so shocked and disappointed. I believe the clear message here is communication and love for another human. Face it this is the world that WE have allowed to be the acceptable norm. If you want to quote the Bible it says we should love and have compassion for all living things. No where does it say that we are the judge and that we should shame those with different lifestyles than the majority. They will answer for themselves at the pearly gates just like you and I. But if this couple, who doesn’t shove gay down anyone’s throat, could be an example for those that do and open their eyes how to live their lives just as quietly as the rest of us then more power. No where did they get praised for what they are but rather for who they are as they bring comedy back into this messed up world, show love and communication, that we scared disillusioned turn a blind eye republicans have become.

Nope. Sorry. Y’all claim to be followers of Jesus. Y’all know what the Bible says and this is not it. You either stand on the Bible or you don’t.

Don’t even tell me you are going there. Very shocked. So sorry you are supporting this.

”Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.“ ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬ God’s word is clear. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves and pick up our cross. You can’t be a Christian and still actively living in sin. Following Jesus requires repentance. This isn’t about being judgmental, this is about speaking the truth. If they are claiming to be followers of Jesus, then it would be unloving of us to just ignore their sin. I pray they come to the true knowledge of Jesus.

So disappointing. Given an opportunity to trust God and proclaim His word boldly, but choosing to spread deception and confusion that pulls other people away from God’s peace that passes all understanding. That’s not love.

🤔 It's interesting that only people's comments who lifted up homosexuality got 💕s from you, Shawn and Andrew. How about giving 💕s to those who are being bold for God in expressing His Truth and the danger and error in edifying such a choice as this lifestyle ? Please open your eyes and minds to what you seem to be promoting here. Are you for God ? Please make this clear. Are you serving God or the world ?

As a Christian mother of a daughter living in the alphabet world this deeply saddens me. I cannot waiver in my belief in God’s holy word. I still love my daughter and her partner. But cannot condone their relationship. Their eternal future is of greater importance than this temporary one. Carnal Christians will become casualties. Jesus is coming back soon. This world is falling apart. Praying for you and your family.

Disappointed 😞

Do u believe the Bible in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11? I’ve watched Danae and she is very funny but I believe the Bible teaches homosexuality is a sin. So I’m praying that this couple will be set free from this sin. Only God can change any of us. The Bible tells us that God sets us free from all sin. Anyway, I love Danae n Mandi and only God can judge any of us. We all need to pray that God will work on our hearts to make us clean n help us to make it to heaven. No one is promised tomorrow. Satan lies to all of us. One of my best friends died of aids. Peace! ☮️ Jesus feels clean like springtime and he is worth it all. Blessings

every christian, please un follow all of their accounts, family made and their own. We need to hold our fellow Christians accountable. We will be at Jesus' judgment at the end of our lives and we must call each other higher!!!!! We aim for heaven and must want that for other people. I was an avid watcher and follower but I can no longer support them.

As you guys say yourself that you are Christian's I'm a little taken a back that you would do this interview. This is not a Christ centered relationship.

GROSS. Such a SIN
