When we don’t deal with grief, it can turn into a plethora of issues from depression, anxiety, stress, tumors and much more. It affects more than you might know. Mental Health is real and should be dealt with and not overlooked. Take care of yourself like I did, and start the healing process. Me and Teddy P. are here for your healing!
In this episode, we will explore how to hydrate! Our bodies are made up of about 55%-78% of water. We need to hydrate to keep things normal around here. Oh yeah, we as vocalist and speakers need to hydrate for our vocals to be on point in all of our endeavors!
On today’s show, we will discuss three tips that every vocalist should know. Tip #1. Establish a Practice Routine/Warmup. Tip #2. FAST before any major event. Tip #3. Celebrate both your WINS and your LOSSES. I hope this helps you in your vocal journey as a singer and may God bless you and your endeavors. Remember, people need you to do what you do best and they are looking forward to hearing you be a blessing to them. God bless.
For today’s show, I had the awesome opportunity to interview one of my former music students. Angeline’s family is originally from San Luis Potosi Mexico but she was born and raised here in America. She will be sharing how they celebrate Cinco de Mayo and Hispanic Heritage Month. Angeline will also share how she initiates “self-care” in her personal life. What did you do for Cinco de Mayo? What do you do for self-care? Let us know via Instagram!
On today’s episode we will hear about how Steve got his start as a bass player. We will also get an opportunity to see his heart for worship and learn about the ups and downs that band members go through within the church. Things are not always what they seem when you are a true worshipper and have to be bound by restrictions and limitations. But we as worshippers do what we do because we love the Lord our God. If you need tips on pressing through, please inbox me and I will send you some information on self care and tips to keep you moving forward during those tough times when we need God and peace the most. Let me just say that the answer is found in your quiet time with Christ. Hope you enjoy listening today and be blessed!
Happy Womens History Month. We thank GOD for every woman in the world. You MATTER! Please don’t give up on your goals nor dreams.
In this episode I will give you a whole lot of reasons to celebrate life. If you don’t hear anything else from this podcast today, I need you to hear that you are “loved” and it’s not too late to give love nor receive love. As for me, well, I learned a whole lot this month about different moments of love that happen throughout the month of February. Don’t be discouraged if you didn’t get an opportunity to do all of the special things with your loved one that you thought you could or would. If you have breath in your lungs, there is still time to celebrate. Happy belated 02-02-2022 on a Tuesday called TWOSDAY. Lol. And Happy Singles Awareness Day, yes it is a real thing! 🤣😉🥰💃🏽
Happy New Year! Welcome back to another year. You made it to 2022 and you should have a smile on your face considering all that has been going on. You are definitely a trooper.

Sit back after you have written your vision and “Watch what God will do” with all that you place in His hands. God bless!

Guess who is turning 1, we are, here at the Preacher's Kid Perspective!!!! That's right, we are celebrating the one year anniversary for the Preacher's Kid Perspective. On today's show you will hear about how I spend a typical day, from daily prep, to meal prep, to mindfulness, what I do for my mental health, for fun, and so much more. One of my good friends will interview me and ask me some candid questions. Joining me is my book writing coach, the one and only, Ms. Toni Williams! She is my personal coach, friend, and someone I trust bouncing ideas off of and she will be on the line with questions and "coming" in her own way.

My top three tips for worship leaders is my opener for today.
1. Be sure that you have a personal quiet time.

Well, we have made it to one year and this has been a blast! In this episode I am going to share how I got started doing my podcast and what inspired me the most. I will also share with you some women who have been very influential in helping me find my voice throughout this journey called life. I pray that this blesses you and if nothing else, it inspires you to move on to the next phase of your life and get you some counseling along the way. Enjoy!
Self care is important for all people of all ages and styles. I can not say it enough. In this episode, I had the awesome opportunity to interview Comedian Stacie Cramer. She is a wife, a mother of three boys, and a minister. She does different things in the community to help the homeless and the people in her neighborhood as well. She loves children and has a heart to see people reach their greatest potential. Personally, she too has endured, and is currently enduring trauma and will share with us what she is doing in her spare time and what she does for self care. These things counteract the traumatic events and help her make it through the day. I pray that this blesses you. If you and your spouse are going through something, or someone you know is going through something, please consider praying first and counseling second. God bless you and thank you for tuning into the show today.
It is the month of the woman and I've decided to celebrate myself and encourage women everywhere to celebrate one another, themselves, and to pray for each other. As a certified life coach, it is what I love to do, encourage others. I wrote one book called "How to Suit up for Quiet Time" and I have coauthored a book with other women disruptors this very month. I have music on amazon and itunes and other digital platforms where music is sold. But enough about me. What have you done for yourself lately women? If not, there is still time, go out and do something great as a woman for this month of March. I'm looking forward to hearing about what you are doing my loves. Be blessed! 💜
Plenty of people have asked the infamous question, "Why are you single" and "When are you getting married" to me time and time again. My answer is always the same, because this is where God has me for this season of my life and for such a time as this. Here in this podcast, I go into detail about what I say and why, in response to this question as well as share scriptures from the word of God that explains my "WHY". What's your why? Email me and let me know and I look forward to hearing from you soon! preacherskid777@gmail.com
This season has been an interesting one with covid-19 and the social distancing mandate that has been placed on us. New strands have come out and it might seem hard to cope. But I want you to keep hope alive and hang in there. Grief is something that none of us are exempt from. I personally have loss two family members, one of my favorite uncle's in the entire world, and one of my funniest aunts, and we are just getting started with this year. But I trust that God will heal my wounds as I keep pressing forward and it is my prayer that you too will continue to press in His presence. God bless and again, keep hope alive and know that you are loved by God!
Be encouraged family as you leave one year and enter into a new one. Only God knows what 2021 has in store for you. Hang in there and make the most out of what you have in your hands and begin to plant. Philippians 1:6 says that he which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. His might and power, not ours. Be blessed family!
Due to Covid-19, our family had to split up for Christmas to keep down the spread. However, it did not stop us from being grateful and sharing the holiday cheer! Tune in as we each share what Christmas means to us. I hope you enjoy!

A pet peeve, pet aversion, or pet hate is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly irritating to them according to Wikipedia. And I have to agree. Here in this episode, I will share a couple, yes 2, of my pet peeves with you all. Why do I have a pet peeve, because even as a preachers kid, I’m not perfect. Hope this blesses you. To all the worship leaders out there, can you relate to this show?
We always say that I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. But do we really believe that? Are there times when we do too much or when you specifically are doing the most.

Every living creature, is fearfully and wonderfully made. God took His time to make each and every one of us. Nobody has ever created a human being quite like you! God is amazing. He knows the exact amount of hair on your body. The human heart actually is unexplainable. No one has to wake up each morning and jump start their hearts by pushing a button. No, God made us amazingly beautiful beings. And there is nobody like Him in all the earth. Right now we are going through this pandemic and epidemic together and it’s a huge crisis over the land. But sometimes, you have to encourage yourself. I’m reminded of the song by Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers called “Encourage Yourself”. Songs like these will give you that extra boost that you need in times like these. So hang in there, go read the word of God, and play some worship music that is encouraging in order to get you through this tough time. Call and encourage a friend. And remember, you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14.
This episode is about Juneteenth, or freedom day, which is an American holiday celebrated on June 19. In 1863, on June 19, the Emancipation Proclamation was signed which freed slaves. In Texas, this didn’t touch down until 1865 which was almost 2 1/2 years later after the slaves were free. Proverbs 27:17 states as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. We are better together. In Ecclesiastes 4:12 it states though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Let’s work together family and do better! Erase racism. Bring on equality!

If you are suffering from any type of trauma, please don’t hesitaste to reach out to me or my colleagues for help. If this is an emergency, please call 911. If you are suffering from domestic abuse, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1−800−799−7233. You are not alone and we are better together.
During this podcast, I will share a small and brief history of becoming and being a preachers kid. I will also challenge you not to look up to idols but to be yourself. Be the woman of God or the man of God that HE has called you to be and nothing less. Matthew 6:33 challenges us to seek first the kingdom of God and all of these things will be added unto you. Don’t allow envy and jealousy to stop you from being yourself and obtaining all that God has for you. Be blessed!
Today we will discuss Cinco de Mayo and how I celebrated it in the past and how I will celebrate it in the future. It is my hope that you get an opportunity to explore different cultures and allow days like this to inspire you to become a part of a community and reach out to those that you know feel left out or as if they are alone. We are a family and we need to act like it. Let’s remove these color lines and other barriers and love each other through this pandemic called Covid-19 aka Corona Virus. What the world needs now is love sweet love. Make it a great day family!
Toxic thoughts can lead you to a lot of health issues. Most often, these thoughts are stemmed from what others have said about you and to you and they have caused you to believe them. I want to remind you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Here, in this podcast, I will share 3 steps which are practical ways that you can change those thoughts from negative to positive using the word of God. Psalm 139:14 states “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” and we need to use the word of God to come against anything that the enemy throws our way. I pray that this encourages you and blesses you indeed! God bless.
In this episode I will explore the meaning of Romans 8:28 and the value that it has over my ministry and life. Romans 8:28 is the sole purpose of my ministry. Many people need to know that even in this evil time and during these evil days, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is working things out for our good. He sent a comforter, the Holy Spirit to be with us every step of the way. Therefore, when you go through things, you have to believe that the Lord is working things out for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Are you called, do you have a purpose, are you filling the need? It’s time to represent and move forward in Christ.
In this episode I will share a little bit about myself and about a time I was in college when I was feeling myself. And we all do from time to time and the truth is, sometimes, we just need to let go of pride, slow down, and chill all the way out! You will also get an opportunity to hear a brief hello from one of my many siblings! Lol.
