Overview
- Speaking on the Oct. 15 episode of Sadie Robertson Huff’s WHOA That’s Good, the Home Town co-host said his parents lost everything financially twice.
- He recalled the bank leaving the family with an old Datsun, describing a childhood memory when the hood flew up, shattered the windshield, and his father tore it off to keep driving.
- He attributed the first loss to what he called an illegal bank loan after his father had been a big farmer.
- He said the second loss followed his father’s decision to leave a lucrative trucking career to become a United Methodist preacher, selling the farm and returning to school for a degree and a master’s from Duke University.
- He said those hardships shaped a be-present approach he hopes to pass to his daughters, while Erin noted her biggest fear is not being prepared, and the couple continue their HGTV work with a new series slated for next year.
