JANA’S PREGNANT! 🎉 In today’s episode we react to the big Duggar family news and swap our best (and worst) gender-reveal stories—from helicopters and skywriting to James launching a car into the pond…and our infamous Connect 4 “almost blew it” moment. Joy & Austin even FaceTime in with their favorite reveal! We also share why we reveal the gender but keep the name private, and how we accidentally (almost) slipped more than once.

Tell us your most epic gender reveal—wins or fails—in the comments!

In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane to Jeremy’s very first appearance on Counting On. From tagging along with Ben on grocery runs for baby food to showing up at Jessa and Ben’s baby shower, Jeremy recounts what it was like stepping into the Duggar world for the very first time.

We reflect on those early days of getting to know each other, the funny behind-the-scenes moments (including Jeremy’s “dad joke” debut), and the unique culture of relationships and “guarding the heart.”

Plus—we talk about parenting updates, Finn’s checkup, and some of the real costs behind podcasting.

If you’ve ever wondered what it was like when we first met, this one’s full of sweet memories, funny stories, and God’s providence in bringing us together.

Are the Plaths basically the Duggars? Do they share the same beliefs, values, and lifestyle? In this episode, Lydia Plath — now Lydia Wyse — joins us with her husband Zac to answer that and more.

Lydia gives us a rare, behind-the-scenes look at her childhood: the farm life, food storage, shower schedules, and quiet emotional world she grew up in. She opens up about her family’s unique beliefs, their motivation for off-grid living, and what emotional connection looked like (or didn’t) in the Plath home.

Then things take a turn — Zac enters the picture. From meeting at church in Colorado to a sunrise mountain hike, a spontaneous dance in the road, and a whirlwind love story that led to a quick marriage, they walk us through the real story — including the drama that came with getting married so fast.

In this deeply personal episode, Jinger sits down with her sisters Jessa and Joy for a raw, heartfelt conversation about miscarriage—something all three have experienced and grieved. Together, they reflect on the heartbreak of discovering their babies were gone, the emotional toll of walking through loss, and the fear that lingers in future pregnancies.

They open up about how they found peace, comfort, and even joy in the midst of sorrow—through faith, through community, and through the unshakable hope of heaven. The sisters also share practical ways to support someone grieving, the vital role of husbands and family, and how to speak honestly with God in times of darkness.

Whether you’ve walked this road or know someone who has, this episode offers a tender reminder: you’re not alone, your grief matters, and there is eternal hope when the cradle is empty.

We just got back from Arkansas—and this trip was one for the books. In this episode, we reflect on what it was like returning to the Big House, reuniting with family, and introducing our girls to the places Jinger grew up—including a sweet moment showing them her childhood room.

We talk about the joy and complexity of going home: Jinger shares how it felt to be back, the unexpected guilt of living far away, and why this visit brought both comfort and healing. Plus, a full broomball reunion (yes, with all the gear and none of the rules), cousin time, and a necessary stop at Braums!

It was nostalgic, emotional, and surprisingly refreshing—and we’re excited to bring you along for the recap.
