Love or Work?
Jeff and André Shinabarger

Drawing on Barna research and their own marriage, Jeff and André Shinabarger, co-hosts of the podcast Love or Work, ask, “Is it possible to change the world, stay in love, and raise a healthy family?”

Jeff Shinabarger is the founder and executive director of Plywood People, an Atlanta-based non-profit that helps launch and sustain start-ups. He is  the author of the book More or Less: Choosing a Lifestyle of Excessive Generosity, which challenges readers to become aware of where they have enough and to give away what they have more than enough of, and Yes or No: How Your Everyday Decisions Will Forever Shape Your Life, which gives practical advice for how to make good decisions and say “no” when necessary.


Born in Bolivia, André Shinabarger  has a deep passion for building community with marginalized people groups. She works for Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta as a Physician Assistant and is an adjunct professor for Emory University and is an Advisor to Plywood People. Together with her husband Jeff, she co-hosts the podcast Love or Work, where they ask, “Is it possible to change the world, stay in love, and have a healthy family?”
