In this episode of the Stained Glass Kids Podcast, Yancy talks with Amber Caroll about being a Pastor’s Kid for 40 years. The purity culture that promised her a lifelong, happy marriage delivered something very different. Her first kiss was with a gay man. When her husband came out as gay and left, Amber found herself divorced, single, and raising two kids with questions the church never prepared her to answer. Amber shares her journey through doubt, grief, and rediscovery — opening up about what the church got wrong, what singleness really means in God's kingdom, and how parents and pastors can better love the kids in their pews. This conversation is about the idol of romance, sexual stewardship, teaching your kids to use discernment by hearing God’s voice, sitting with those that are grieving and resourcing parents to be able to have conversations about sexuality.  To connect more with Amber's work, download the free Parent Prep Pack (including a book discount code, a free video teaching, and her complete resource guide) at https://ambergarrettcarroll.com/parent The views and opinions expressed by the guest in this discussion are solely their own and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the host or any advertisers.
