PK Stories: Letters to my younger self

There are few differences between a PK and any other normal person. The spotlight is just hotter. We come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and personalities. Some of us follow in our parents' footsteps into the wide world of ministry. Some of us rebel against what we feel is a calculated and scripted path by our parents. When referencing the behavior of some preachers' kids, the fact that their parents are in ministry is often illuded to being the reason of mischief or transgression. Yet, while we are like any other person, there are those who are completely unprepared for the life and journey of those who love, support and are born into the family of a preacher.

As you think about your journey, what would you tell your younger self if you had the opportunity? Yes, we learn as we grow and go through things and there may not be an ounce of regret present, so what words of encouragement would you share? What hope would you give?

PK Magazine

Greetings all.  This comes after years of wanting to provide opportunities to support and encourage children and families of  Pastors, Ministers and Preachers.  Now, there are enough websites, ezines, and ministries that offer support to Preachers and their families that one may ask, why yet another?


There are so many critiques and sources of criticism that the hope was to provide an alternative.

Also, many preachers' family members are part of or head ministries.  This space would also serve as a way to inform our community of upcoming events and resources.

All are welcome to submit articles and information at preacherskidsmagazine@gmail.com.
