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.
