We wrap up our conversation with Mikel and Kaleigh in this episode. The girls give pastors and their wives some great advice and encouragement and then they share what they would tell their younger selves and what they want to say to other PKs. We had such a good time recording these episodes that we will probably have some more conversations in the future. ENJOY!

In this episode Mikel and Kaleigh give ministry parents advice on how to create safe space for their children to process and develop their own faith in the messy middle of the ministry home.

In this episode Mikel and Kaleigh continue sharing their experiences of growing up in the ministry. Their honest reflections present a challenge to the church. Let's take Jesus' words to heart when He exhorted us to love each other well, don't forget that He said the world would know we are His disciples by how we love one another.

As a pastor's wife and mother of PK's I have often wondered at the unique blessings and challenges the life of ministry creates for us and our children. In this season when the church is being challenged, it's good to hear from those whose lives have been most affected by it. Leighann has invited her daughters Mikel and Kaleigh to share their reflections of what it was like growing up PKs.

On this podcast my mom talks about a lot of things—mostly prayer but also spiritual warfare, parenting us, her adult kids —even though we might not need it as much as she thinks we do, she also shares what it’s like be a “church lady” in an increasingly post-Christian world. And don’t get me started on church ladies! This is the place where mom admits that she contemplates things that are too wonderful to comprehend and where she shares interviews with people whose lives have greatly influenced hers. Just wait til you hear the interviews she did with my sister and me! Mostly she wants to remind us that no matter what we’re going through, “God’s Got This!” I

’m Mikel McCoy and this is my mom’s podcast.

In our final episode of the advent series Leighann shares her reflections on the love of God demonstrated in the perfect gift of Jesus. It's our prayer that you and your family take some time to worship Him as you celebrate the love you share this Christmas.

This is week 3 of advent and we light the pink candle. In this podcast Leighann shares her thoughts on JOY and how its anchored in the steadfastness of God's power and love.

When Jesus died to save us, He gave us 2 kinds of peace. This week of the advent, as we focus on our Prince of peace, we will discuss both our peace with God, and the peace of God that are ours to experience.
