Ben & Jessa Seewald have been married for almost 10 years and have 5 children. Jessa wrote - "I love interior design and am always excited to team up with Jana and do projects for family and friends. Whether it’s for a home or business, we love refurbishing old pieces, shopping for bargains, and seeing an idea become a reality. I love reading—though in this busy season with young kids, I find myself working in hours of audio books on the go, rather than sitting down with a book in hand. I’m grateful to be able to spend so much of much my time with my kids. Even though some days can be a bit crazy, it is also so much fun, and I count it one of my greatest blessings to get to be their mom.

Ben loves reading good books, especially on theology and, because of this, our family library is ever-expanding. Since finishing his degree at Moody Bible Institute online, he has been actively involved in church ministry. Ben is also an adventurous foodie. He loves to take me out on dates to new restaurants, and try out the most unique menu items. He’s a sweet, patient and engaged father and husband. He loves wrestling with the boys, and cuddling his baby girl while he tells the kids a story."

0:19.9	Most folks have.
0:21.3	But our experience knowing the duggers, I call it like the Big Family
0:26.2	Underground because Elish and I were both from big families, the seawalls were big family,
0:30.7	the duggers were, you know, you know super sized family and when we met I only got to
0:36.7	hang out with Jessa for like three days but it was such a great time and we've kind of
0:42.0	reconnected online and this was such a fun
0:44.8	conversation for me because it is so encouraging to hear people that are raising
0:50.3	their families to glorify the Lord, they're humble, they have a desire to grow, and I just
0:57.4	feel like we relate on so much stuff.
1:00.7	And we're in just like a similar season of life, we're dealing with similar life complexities and have a heart to serve the Lord.
1:06.0	And so this is a really fun conversation for us to record.
1:11.0	I apologize in advance. I I think I like jumped in on top of people to
1:16.8	communicate. Yeah. Well I did too. This is always what happens again talking with
1:22.3	Ben and Jess
1:22.8	was such a treat, and it got a little too fun.
