Welcome to Tea Time with ThanDreza! We're excited to have you.
Our names are Than & Andreza Owens. On our podcast we discuss our life and how it is going with honest conversations about what we are learning along the way. Our hope is to encourage you on your personal journey.
This podcast is meant to accompany our newsletters and vlogs. We are a work in progress and are still working out all the details, but who isn't... In fact, that's part of the journey we want to invite you on... You might hear a baby crying in the background, or even a washer. That's our life - we might as well share it!

2024 Election | Talking Politics
Politics is one of those topics we don’t normally discuss openly. We have found that it is not always beneficial, especially in today’s culture, as it has a tendency to create relational barriers with people. However, given that this is a major event, we felt we wouldn’t be sharing our life with you if we didn’t let you in on our conversation.
Here’s what we’ve been talking about…

Overview
This is our first Week In Review episode.
The idea is to give you we give you a brief look at what we did last week and how we are processing through it. This week's episode is a little extra special because we had some technical difficulties. We recorded it 5 different times over 2 nights. It was a little frustrating and discouraging.
You'll hear that when you listen because that's what was going on when we recorded it. That's how we're trying to keep it - real and honest.
What We're Talking About
In this episode you'll also hear us talk about some of the highlights from our previous week. The main topics include:
- Visiting the Shasta Dam for the first time
- Attending a Salmon Festival
- Dealing with conflict

Intro Series: The 2nd Year
Our second year of marriage was a roller-coaster. In this episode we discuss the following:
* Our first vacation and how we missed our flight home
* When Than couldn't get a job for several months
* How Dreza found out she was pregnant with our oldest, Bethel
* Our experience of having to be on food stamps (SNAP)
* People in our community supporting us and what we learned
* How God met us and molded us during challenging times
This was one of the most defining and marking years of our life. It shaped us in multiple ways, humbling us and causing us to learn dependence upon God in ways we had never known.
(Side Note: This is our favorite episode we’ve done so far.)
Here is a link to the book Than mentions in the episode:
A Life Well Spent: The Rewards of Investing Yourself and Your Money in Your Family (https://a.co/d/i6h0dYU)
There are newer editions, but this is the one that impacted us and our family values in a significant way. We will probably have a deeper discussion about the concept of “spending time” in a future episode.
Blessings!

In our last episode we gave a brief overview of our dating relationship and our engagement. We ended talking about our wedding and the 2 weeks following.
In this episode we are talking about our first year of marriage, especially in light of the marriage counseling we received during our engagement. This first year really set the tone for most of what our relationship has looked like up to this point.
A few highlights include:
* How we navigate doing dishes in our house
* Dreza’s greatest annoyance with Than
* How we think about time spend with people
Thanks for taking time to listen to our story! We are honored to share it with you.
Blessings!

Intro Series: A Brief Introduction
Welcome to our podcast!
In this episode give a basic overview of why we started this podcast and provide some insights into what we are attempting.
Here’s a few things to know:
We are trying to keep this as raw and unfiltered as possible. We feel like there are lots of great podcasts that are "clean", edited and nicely done. We love those shows, but we are trying to invite you into our real lives. That means there might be crying kids, subpar sound quality (we record at our kitchen table) and mess-ups. We won’t be making any edits. In fact, we won’t even listen back through it most of the time before posting.
In short, you get our conversation as it happened, flaws n’ all.
The above being said, we are going to be sharing our highs and our lows as we go week-to-week. We won’t, however, talk about other people in a negative light. If you know us well you’ll probably notice when we skip over small parts of our story. This is because we want to be careful to not dishonor people. We want to be real about ourselves but not talk about others.
We to provide you with insight into what we are thinking and how we are processing things that happen in our life. This is very vulnerable and honestly a little scary. But we feel that we need to show you how we really live and to share our true journey with you, not a curated experience that makes us look better than we are.
Along the way we are going to bring on guests to talk about things we care about or we find interesting. We hope you enjoy those conversations, too!
In order to create boundaries, we are planning to have paid and unpaid subscription options. The paid subscriptions are where we will be posting more in-depth looks at how and what we are doing, while the unpaid is meant to provide limited access to our lives. We are still working on the logistics, but that is what we are thinking.
All that being said, we are excited to share our lives with you. We love our life and want to be an encouragement to anyone who might want or need it.
Alright… We think that’s it… Thanks again for joining us!
Have a blessed day!
