THEE PK POD
Thee PK Pod is an intergenerational faith and culture podcast sharing real, unfiltered stories from Pastor’s Kids (PKs), Church Kids (CKs), and friends of the faith community. We explore how growing up in ministry shaped our lives, choices, and callings — proving our platforms aren’t always pulpits!
From breaking PK stereotypes to discussing purpose, creativity, and life beyond the church walls, we highlight inspiring guests and honest conversations about faith in modern life. Whether you’re a PK, CK, or simply curious about life behind the sermons, you’ll find connection, laughter, and truth here.
