PARENT PROFILE
Meet the Seibers O W E N S B O R O ’ S FA M O U S T I K T O K FA M I LY TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELVES.
We are originally from southeastern Kentucky (our accents give us away). We moved to Owensboro almost five years ago when Scott took a Children’s Pastor position at Walnut Memorial Baptist Church. We have been in ministry together for the last 15 years serving with youth and children, and we both hold ministry degrees. We have seven children (biological and adopted). Their ages range from 17 to 5. We were also foster parents for several years.
WHAT GOT YOU STARTED WITH POSTING CONTENT TO TIKTOK?
We’ve always made silly videos on Facebook for our friends. We love making people laugh. A few youth from our church really encouraged us to get TikTok (and they credit themselves with our success haha!). Our desire was to post family-friendly, positive content.
WHAT IS YOUR MOST VIRAL VIDEO?
Our most popular series is called Things That Drive My Husband Crazy. Several of those have over a million views, but Part 2 of that series has over 2.3 million. It’s about having the TV volume on an even number.
MOST SURPRISING THING THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF TIKTOK?
We’ve had some sponsored content. We partnered with Hey Dude shoes and Crossnet. That was super cool. We’ve also been recognized and asked to take pictures. It’s very sweet, but it feels surreal.
WHAT REACTIONS DO YOU GET FROM FAMILY/ FRIENDS ABOUT YOUR CONTENT?
Our friends and family are our biggest supporters. They are so encouraging to us. We wouldn’t be posting videos without them.
WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY ON PARENTING?
We try to be real with our kids. We strive for consistency and transparency in everything we do. We are followers of Christ, and we teach them to love Jesus, and love people.
BEST PARENTING ADVICE?
Have real conversations with your children. There’s a good chance our kids may know their favorite Youtuber’s opinion, but not ours. OP
