This episode of The LeadingSmart Podcast is one of my favorites yet—because I get to sit down with all four of my kids.

We talk about the good, the bad, and the funny moments of growing up in a pastor’s home—from staff parties in the backyard to the challenges of living life in the spotlight. You’ll hear their honest reflections on faith, family, and what it was like to be raised in ministry.

Whether you’re raising kids while leading in the church, or you’re just curious about what happens behind the scenes in a pastor’s family, I think you’ll find this conversation both encouraging and real.

Episode Highlights:

* Growing up in a ministry home: the good, bad, and funny
* Lessons about family, freedom, and faith
* Why family should never come second to ministry
* Honest reflections from kids who lived it
