Not all pastors kids go to heaven... | Devon Frye

Pastors Kids (PKs) are an incredibly misunderstood people group. After interviewing and hearing from dozens of them I collected stories, and share from them and my own experiences. PKs are known to be one of two things, they're often either in ministry or in rehab, I want to tell you why...

As the father of a Pastor this resonated with me on so many levels. I wish I had a resource like this when I was younger and leader like Devon to be around. I had to work through some of these things very late in life by the grace of God. As Devon’s father I could not be more proud or supportive of these sentiments. He has spoken truth without dishonor. I admire my son and my children for how they have weathered the storms of ministry and still stand loving Jesus and even us as their parents. It’s a privilege to see the grace of God visit another generation in spite of your imperfections as a parent. Thank you Jesus for your faithfulness!

It’s so refreshing to finally hear someone talk about how suffocating being a PK can be. Thank you for sharing Dev!

Eye opening for me to continue to help protect and care for my children. Thanks Dev!

My dad wasn't a pastor but he's always been in ministry my whole life. I resonated with a lot of what you said and have wrestled with much of the same. Thank you for sharing.

I am a PK from Cancun, Mexico. Watching your video made me remembered so many things growing up. I have 6 siblings, so you can imagine. The main thing I struggled with is giving the other cheek (still do). Apologizing for something I didn't do just for "the sake of a soul". Feeling like I couldn't make a mistake because others would murmur about my parents. I kept most doubts, issues, etc. to myself. The least I wanted to do was bring more trouble for my parents. They had enough with everybody else's. I felt my parents didn't really see me, so for a while I went on my own, away from them, away from God. But God's love reeled me back to Him. And this time it was personal, not instructed. I am still a work in progress but I have no question that God's love (and my parents' love)for me is real.

[timtolka]

Same here. Pastor's son. Most of my cousins, too. Thanks for speaking the thoughts and feelings we had but could express.

Thanks for your transparency Devon. I could pretty much relate to all the points you made. Glad you kept the faith and are teaching out of the valuable experiences you had. I know this video was probably a challenge to make... A huge value to many PK’s is maintaining the honor of their family. You got real while still showing your parents respect. Good stuff.

Thanks for sharing; I hate that prople have to give a disclaimer before telling “their” story.
I think Pastor’s kids are so strong.
Y’all sacrifice so much.
Im a Pastor now didn’t grow up a PK.
So, my kids will be PK’s so, thanks for this.

I think this is important even for kids who were raised in ministry their whole lives, very well said

[maxpreach]

Betrayal, Force, Relationship, trust issues...all I can say is I am convicted. Lord help me to be a better father to my kids.

Relatable and helpful. Thank you for speaking up!

[leiloniherrera]

Very well done. I’m a missionary and Pastor’s kid. I’ve spent years in therapy because of it. I always used to say, I can do hell because Being a PK is worse. This video struck a cord. Very well done.

[MitzziM]

Thank you for being authentic and raw and exposing the dark side of the life of a PK. All true.

[AdrianPadarath]

Way to pull back the curtain. Amazing man.
