Welcome to the Raising Boys and Girls Podcast. I'm Sissy Gough.

I'm David Thomas. And I'm Melissa Trevathan.

And we are so glad you've set us out a few minutes to spend with us today.

In each episode of this podcast, we'll share some of what we're learning in the work we do with

kids and families on a daily basis at Days Are Counseling and National Tennessee. Our goal is to

help you care for the kids in your life with a little more understanding, a little more practical

help and a whole lot of hope. So pull up a chair and join us on this journey from our little

yellow house to yours. The Raising Boys and Girls Podcast is brought to you in partnership with

Menno. Menno provides meaningful screen time and shared experiences for families to help you grow

in your faith together. Check them out at podcast.gomeno.com. That's podcast.goMINNO.com.

Dave Barnes may be best known for his successful career as a musician and songwriter or as co-host

of the wildly popular podcast, Dadville. But when his work day is done, when the tour bus parks

back in Nashville or when the song is written or even when it's not, he returns to real life as

husband, his amazing wife Annie and dad to his three kids. Annie is the beauty and the brains

behind this incredible family holding it all together with lots of wisdom and love.

Dave and Annie, we have wanted you on this podcast for so long. I think we mentioned it to y'all

two years ago probably when I ran into you once. Y'all charged so much. So it took us,

it took us a couple of years just to get the money together. But we are thrilled. Thank you for

investing in raising wisdom girls. I think even before we knew you, we both considered you friends.

Just to have loved y'all and heard about you in the community and different things y'all do.

And so we're so excited for you to be here. And we'd love to start with y'all telling us

a little bit about your family maybe. Yeah. Which one? Y'all buckle up for this.
