Here's How 'Counting On' Star Ben Seewald Can Afford His Growing Family With Jessa

To kick off 2019, Jessa and Ben Seewald announced they are anticipating their third kid together.
"We are overjoyed that God has blessed us with a baby, due late this Spring," the couple said in a statement. "From the day we found out we were expecting, we both guessed boy, and if our predictions are right then we already have a ton the clothing and accessories ready to pass down! At the same time, we would absolutely love it if we found out we were having a girl — though we’ve joked that we’d be starting from square one and might have to learn a few things."
And while fanatics of Counting On are excited to fulfill the brand new addition — who will sign up for older brothers Spurgeon, 3, and Henry, 23 months — they still have one lingering query on their brain: what does Ben Seewald in fact do for a living?
Longtime Duggars followers know the women are stay-at-home mothers, so it is up to the men of the family to be the suppliers, no less than financially.
So, what is Ben's job?
His job title is technically "handyman," and seeing as he married Jessa at the very younger age of 19, he by no means completed earning his affiliate's stage in political science. Instead, he has been recognized to paintings the occasional job for Jessa's dad, Jim Bob Duggar. This method TLC exams principally make stronger the circle of relatives.
"You know what would be fun? A reality show about Ben Seewald applying for jobs," one viewer hilariously tweeted. It would cross for at least five seasons two times a week."
Ben is also known for taking on preaching gigs, similar to fellow Duggar in-law Jeremy Vuolo, who married Jessa's sister Jinger, and works as a preacher at a small church. In a clip on YouTube, Ben preached about "submission," a topic he spoke about at the Evangelism Reformation Conference last year.
"As we're in a tradition that praises individual autonomy, that praises individual freedom, we need to ask ourselves, 'how does this affect our considering? How does this impact our church lifestyles and the way does this have an effect on our evangelism?'" he says in the video. "These are questions that we have to ask ourselves."
Last year, Ben and Jessa were accused of "mooching" off her grandmother, who sold them land for less than $1 before turning around to sell it for $200,000. Shady.
However, Ben's less-than-stellar occupation is not stopping the family from having more kids. "We notice that, in going from two to a few children, we’re about to change from man-to-man to zone coverage, so we’ve without a doubt been taking advice from friends who are already on this stage," Ben said. "We love being folks and are truly having a look forward to this new arrival!"
Jessa also hinted that "adopting and fostering to adopt may be very much in our hearts" — meaning even more children are within the Seewald circle of relatives's long run. And while we should not have a child title yet, we all know the Ben and Jessa will persist with faith for the foundation. We can not wait to meet this latest addition.
