    Mama B is GORGEOUS!! (Inside❤ and out) and Zack is Such a Good example of what men should be to their wife, children and family in Christ and Whitney is Beautiful!....thank you and God Bless and Protect the Beautiful Bates Families. We Still don't understand how they will put out shows and movies that cater to the world, but took away a show that showed how a Christian family with 19 children does life in Christ and all the natural zaney, hilarious and heartwarming and miraculous things that can happen with Jesus at the Center and just how Christians handle the day to day. That was ministry and it encouraged us out here and gave us something that we knew our children and Grandchildren and grandparents could watch all together as family......no cussing, no drinking or drunkeness, no filth or anything you might see on a current PG or R rated show or movie not to mention the commercials and talk shows that pretty much show the same things.😢 Just sayin...when did quality stop being good enough so they could pump out meaningless quantity. Thankful that you do your youtube channels so we Still get to be a part of your Lovely families....Thank you!!❤

    This is one of the few women that seems to be so 100% happy and content with life and marriage. WOW. I’m literally in awe because my childhood was very dysfunctional and very toxic. I never saw my mother happy. I never had a birthday party. I never saw my parents love each other. I am just in awe of this family from day one.
    I’m literally traumatized after all these years.

You and your brothers also got the good looks going on, courtesy of not only mom but also your handsome dad. More importantly, they were good examples on how to be good, kind people! Thanks for sharing glimpses of your life! I'm grateful 🙏 BLESSINGS 🙌 🙏 ✨️ Oh, a bit of useless information: I have that same black cabinet that was in the video ( background). Good taste on your and Whitney's part, guess I have good taste too. Lol ❤ Again, thanks for sharing 👍.

I love hearing about the special dishes growing up and it reminds me of my parents telling their memories of the same. I was born ,and still live, in the Northeast U.S. but have ALWAYS made cornbread stuffing/dressing and it's always been a huge hit with everyone. One of the ingredients I always add to it is sauteed ground sausage (usually Jimmy Dean brand) to it. Keep on with your amazing, fun, fulfilling videos, Zack! Bless you and your entire family.

    I loved this Q&A. All of you guys are just the sweetest. Momma Bates, is so pretty, and precious. Thank you for this time. I’m looking forward to you two making that salad. Also, could you show how to make the pork & beans sandwich? When I was in England they would have pork & beans with their eggs for breakfast. It was actually delicious. God bless all of you. ♥️
