Summary

Today on the show, we’re answering the question, “What should I take with me from spring into summer?” and y’all are in for a TREAT. You’ve been asking for these guests for a long time and today my new friends Ben and Erin Napier from the show HGTV’s Home Town and Home Town Takeover are here. You’re going to love getting to know them and hearing how their work and their shows have not only revitalized families, but entire towns. You know we love talking about revival around here, and we’re going there today. The work God’s put in front of them isn’t just captivating millions on TV, it’s changing the future of small towns. If you’re following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 57. We’re getting so close to the official start of summer, which means new guidebook pages are coming!
