 Let’s face it, families of preachers live by a higher standard, it’s an expectation. They are supposed to represent the leadership and qualities of the pastor himself. Yet, this is not always the case. Often times, the children go astray and lead a rebellious life. They may even be deemed the worst members of the church or the worst kids in church. It’s a wonder more Christians don’t take the time to discover why this may occur.

Some preachers' kids live with the harsh reality of hypocritical parents. Though, they may be in the ministry, their home lives don’t always reflect what the church sees. Leading a double life is one of the most damaging things children face. Ministers feel the pressure of living a perfect life; having the perfect family. Trying to live up to the pressure is the very cause of many family break-ups, because no family is perfect. No child is perfect either.  So, why do we pretend that this is not the case?
