58: Cousin 29 - Taylor
from My 99 Cousins Hosted by Devin Andersen
In this episode, Devin and his wife Sarah sit down with cousin Taylor Kartchner and his wife, Wendy (“Saint Wendy”), to explore a life full of faith, family, and unforgettable stories. Taylor, the third of nine children, shares memories ranging from winning an “ugliest driver’s license” contest to serving a mission in St. Petersburg, Russia, climbing the pyramids of Egypt, and even saving his sister Kelly from a dangerous fall while mountain climbing. We also hear about his entrepreneurial journey running a window-washing business and his unexpected love for speed golf, which once took him all the way to Europe to represent the United States. Taylor and Wendy also open up about the love story that began in a Boise State ballroom dance class, a playful Red Riding Hood–style proposal, and the family life they’ve built with their five children. From ukulele bedtime routines to their deeply held belief in trusting Christ’s plan, Taylor and Wendy offer heartfelt advice to future generations: no matter what happens, the Savior already knew and He is okay with it. Finally, Taylor shares his passion for speed golf, a sport he often plays early in the morning to stay in shape and fit in a full round in just about an hour. He describes what it was like to represent the U.S. in a European tournament while traveling with his family, and answers questions about how speed golf differs from traditional golf. It’s a look into both the discipline and the joy of a game that combines endurance with precision — and why it’s become one of his favorite pursuits.
