Over at the Blazing Center, Barnabas Piper, son of pastor John Piper, has an article on what to do when you meet a pastor’s kid.
He’s apparently written a book about what it’s like to grow up in a
pastor’s family. As a pastor’s daughter and missionary’s granddaughter,
I’m generally interested to hear other “stories from the trenches.” Life
in a pastor’s family has its challenges, but it also has great
blessings. My friend, Megan Hill, has written a series of great articles
on the subject that I highly recommend: part 1, part 2, part 3. (Megan is both a pastor’s daughter and a pastor’s wife, so she knows what she’s talking about.)
Back to Barnabas’ article. I was interested to read his take on being
a pastor’s kid. Reading his list, though, I realized that I couldn’t
relate to his concerns at all. It took me a minute to realize why: I’m
not a celebrity pastor’s kid. Apparently it makes a big difference. Continue at Rachel Miller
