about our family
Get to know us
We’re a small family that loves making big memories. We live in a small, country cottage nestled in the hills of Tennessee.
Our faith, our families, and our friends are the most important treasures that we have. We love sharing our experiences, our adventures, our challenges, and our happy times with others. It is our prayer that this site will encourage and inspire you in this wonderful journey of life.
Chad Paine
Chad grew up in a large family in northern Indiana. At an early age he grew to love working on the farm, raising goats and chickens, and driving the tractor. He is probably the most diligent person you will ever meet, and he credits his dad for his strong work ethic. He spent many years working with youth and his humble and gentle spirit impacted countless lives. He graduated from a private College with an Associates in Youth Ministry. In 2013, he moved to Tennessee and married the love of his life, Erin Bates.
Over the years he has really enjoyed working with his hands, refinishing furniture, remodeling, and building projects. Chad started Paine Construction in 2017, and stays quite busy working full time, and making people’s dreams come to life. He is a proud father to 4 children, and every evening you can find him giving the kids wild piggy-back rides, breathtaking pushes on the swing , and telling the most exciting Bible stories. He is constantly investing into his family, and there is no job at home that he isn’t willing to do. He is a true example of a Christian and leads his family by serving, loving, and giving.

It was a sad day at our house. A coyote got in our goat pen and killed one of our goats. 😭 Lots of tears were shed and the kids planned a little funeral for her. Goodness, there’s nothing harder than watching your kids cry. God gave us the most beautiful rainbow tonight. I know He cares when we’re hurting. ❤️

I love being a Mama and I love making time for God’s Word throughout the day. ❤️
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
Joshua 1:8

A photo dump from Grandpa Paine’s 90th birthday celebration! 🎉 It is an honor to be related to such a hero of the faith. The kids had so much fun getting to spend time with cousins. ❤️ We had the best time with some of Chad’s family as well. Friends and family are such a gift from God.

I grew up listening to YOUR STORY HOUR, which is fully dramatized, true-to-life, character-building stories. I made the best family memories listening to audio stories, and now that our kids are getting older, they get just as excited about listening to each new adventure. As a mom, I love providing entertainment that sparks the imagination while teaching Christ-centered virtues. I hope you find as much joy in them as we have.
