That is Trace Bates (damn you auto correct!) and his fiancé, Lydia Romeiki. Is the church in AR or TN?

Not a clue where the church is. Gospel Light Baptist is an EXTREMELY common name. It could be just about anywhere.

 I think Trace Bates has been working on Jessa and Ben's house so they are probably in Arkansas.

Jackson Bates has been working with Jason and James. Trace is taking over Paine construction with Warden Bates as Bates construction.

 I don’t have the time or desire to dive into TN rules and regulations. It seems unusual for me that they can basically call themselves contractors without training and licensing.

Evan spent 5 years training to be an electrician, Kelton did jump through training hoops to be a plumber. Trace and Warden have nothing in terms of training.

Joy needs a haircut

[StaceyNotStacie]

I didn’t recognize Austin at first. Joy has such a youthful face. She looks like she’s about 15 years old. 

[floridamom]

How is it that Trace's fiance' is allowed to live on her own BEFORE marriage? Doesn't that make Trace feel like a child that he was/is not allowed to leave daddy's home?

That's the couple who just had a vow renewal a couple of months ago. They're associated with Mediccorps.

drew and gabrielle patton - he is listed on the training team page for the cosplay mediccorps and she goes by drewsgal on instagram. He also has a business called Freedom Tree Service, but used to be a firefighter I think.

What is it with fundies that they always have to have "an occasion?"  If they can't have a courtship, engagement, wedding, pregnancy, gender reveal, shower or birth announcement they resort to a vow renewal.

her name in Tannan Millsap

Her IG username is "ohtannanbomb".  I'm certain there's no use even betting that she actually thinks that is how it's spelled!

Agreed.  I think he looks handsome in that pic.

Abbie looks adorable in the group vacation pics.  I hope she's truly as happy as she always looks.

Joy and Austin look the most normal in that group. They could be any young family at any of a thousand evangelical churches on a Sunday.

Wouldn't even have to be at an evangelical church.  They look like a lot of young families at any mainstream church, too.

A way to get more attention for themselves and feel superior. And also spend a lot of money they probably shouldn’t. Their kids don’t need college funds, though, so they save on that!

[GeeGolly]

Is this cutie Evvy Mae or Gracie?

Because every special occasion in their lives revolves around marriage and babies. So they have to make up special occasions once they run out. The alternative is the endless slog of diaper changing, folding laundry, and cooking creamo casseroles.

Evy, wearing the same dress as group picture above. But darn, she really looks like Gracie in that picture. Now I’m doubting myself. 😂

If only they'd start waking up to the idea that there are other, productive, healthy, enjoyable ways to expand their lives -- ways that embrace faith meaningfully without all of the pointless, meaningless, manmade, cult nonsense.

I don’t think it’s Evy.  The material of the dress is the same but the dress is made differently.  I have no idea whose child she is, but IMO it’s not Evy. (Please forgive me if I’m wrong.)

That's Trace Bates. He was with Joy and Austin a couple of days ago, so it follows that the toddler is Evy. 

[Tdoc72]

Looks like Gracie to me. Evy is less cute. (Yes, it’s mean. I know.)

[madpsych78]

Evy looks like Gideon. That girl looks like Gracie.

What was the name of that group they did a YT video with in which they mocked covid? The Reber son and a couple howlers also affiliated with them.

Something like “Futureists” IIRC.

Thank you! I kept calling them the Reformists.

So many young men opt for those long, bushy beards. At the age when they (even Austin!) look the best they'll probably ever look, it's a bad choice imo.

I think its a young adult realization that they'll be shaving forever and they're like, screw this. 🧔🏽🙃

My son doesn’t shave all summer while not teaching. Still not a good look but I understand the dislike of shaving.

Has there been anything posted lately about Joy and her bestie Carlin? Or is Joy too busy with the other Meddiccorpp housewives?

I so doubt he would be onboard with Joy growing out her leg or pit hair.

Video. Refurbished RV, Silver Dollar City, and Jer's wedding.

Austin also seems to have put on a lot of weight.

[GeeGolly]

I need to go back and look, but I think I saw a miscellaneous woman holding a little blonde baby, standing next to Josiah and Bella, who were next to, I think Lauren. Maybe the woman was holding their baby?

Also did anyone else notice Joy only filmed herself from the neck up?

Edited August 7, 2022 by GeeGolly

[Salacious Kitty]

Would Joy know not to put their new baby in a video if the birth was never announced? I have no clue how close she is to Lauren/Josiah.

[Stevie Nicks]

So in the video, when they're in the RV, the kids are in car seats (which is good), but the seats appear to be on a homemade thing made from plywood. That's dangerous it seems. The seats aren't belted into seats that are bolted to the frame of the RV. Am I seeing things? The kids are really cute tho.
