Stained Glass Kids is a podcast, where through raw, redeemed, broken and honest interviews, we bring light to the darkest parts of our stories as PK’s and ministry kids. Hosted by Yancy: Author, Dove Award winning music artist, and chart-topping songwriter. But of all the things she could include in her bio, there is one thing she has been since the day she was born: a pastor’s kid. "Along my journey as a ministry kid, I’ve realized how much isn’t being talked about, both good and bad, and through this series I aim to change that. I love Jesus and His Church. This isn’t about buzz words like Church hurt or deconstruction. I’m not here to drag names and places through the mud. Think of it like a historical home or property. You don’t just take down a wall or make major changes without some critical care and TLC. I want to see the Church capital C thrive. It is a historical treasure, worth celebrating but also worth stewarding, honoring and supporting in the years to come” Yancy shared.   Just like a piece of mosaic art, Yancy has learned first hand that God does make beautiful things out of the most broken seasons of our lives. We all have a story to tell. This podcast is our testimony as Stained Glass Kids. Listen and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Website: https://yancyministries.com/stainedglasskids/

    Ep. 105: Wide Shoulders and Forgiving Hearts with Band Reeves

    In this episode of the Stained Glass Kids Podcast, Yancy talks with brothers Jeramy and Cody Reeves — the PK duo behind the country band Reeves — about growing up in a bi-vocational ministry home in Palestine, Texas. They share how watching their dad live the same life on Monday that he preached on Sunday shaped their faith, and how counseling sessions in their living room gave them a front-row seat to the power of following Jesus. Both brothers unpack the difference between head knowledge and heart transformation and recount being born again themselves. They discuss the weight of ministry and why people in ministry need permission to be vulnerable. They open up about pride, unforgiveness, and how learning to forgive became the roughest, toughest thing they ever did. This conversation is about miracles and provision, the freedom of forgiveness, doing ministry as a family, and what PK’s needs to hear said to them.

    Ep. 104: When Purity Culture Fails You: A PK's Journey Through Marriage, Divorce, and Singleness with Amber Carroll

    In this episode of the Stained Glass Kids Podcast, Yancy talks with Amber Caroll about being a Pastor’s Kid for 40 years. The purity culture that promised her a lifelong, happy marriage delivered something very different. Her first kiss was with a gay man. When her husband came out as gay and left, Amber found herself divorced, single, and raising two kids with questions the church never prepared her to answer. Amber shares her journey through doubt, grief, and rediscovery — opening up about what the church got wrong, what singleness really means in God's kingdom, and how parents and pastors can better love the kids in their pews. This conversation is about the idol of romance, sexual stewardship, teaching your kids to use discernment by hearing God’s voice, sitting with those that are grieving and resourcing parents to be able to have conversations about sexuality.  To connect more with Amber's work, download the free Parent Prep Pack (including a book discount code, a free video teaching, and her complete resource guide) at https://ambergarrettcarroll.com/parent The views and opinions expressed by the guest in this discussion are solely their own and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the host or any advertisers.

    Ep. 103: Broken Pieces Make It Beautiful with Hannah Clements

    In this episode of the Stained Glass Kids Podcast, Yancy talks with Hannah Clements about her life growing up as a PK. 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.  The views and opinions expressed by the guest in this discussion are solely their own and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the host or any advertisers.
