Stained Glass Kids

The faithfulness she learned by watching her grandparents serve the same church for 45 years. What being able to go to another church’s youth group meant for her. A pastor's kid can love Jesus, the church, their parents and still be hurt by the church. AND every one of those things can be true, real and felt at the same time. She shares how her journey has shaped her to be aware of the pastor’s kids environment she wants her own kids to have and the questions she’s asking, as a pastor’s wife and PK mom. This conversation is about expectations, being grateful and still acknowledging the pain.
