E63 | Peace in the Tension: Yancy on Church Hurt, Healing, and Family-Centered Worship

What does it look like to find peace in the midst of tension?In this intimate conversation, singer-songwriter and worship leader Yancy invites us into her remarkable journey—one marked by music, ministry, and the quiet strength forged through seasons of transition.From her early days as a pastor’s kid singing in church to becoming a multiple Dove Award-winning artist, Yancy’s path hasn’t always followed the expected route. With refreshing honesty, she shares how a painful church transition—one that felt like exile—ultimately became the gateway to her promised land: a thriving ministry to children and families. “God is always good, even when His people aren’t. Never confuse the two,” she reflects, offering wisdom for anyone walking through hurt in ministry.Together, we explore the nostalgic heartbeats of ‘90s Christian music, reminiscing over Carman concerts and DC Talk albums, while Yancy explains how her reimagined version of “History Maker” is bridging generations of worshippers.But some of the most powerful moments come when Yancy recalls how simple words of encouragement from church volunteers helped shape her destiny. “The ripple effect of your obedience goes farther than you could ever imagine,” she shares—a reminder of the lasting impact we can have on the next generation.Whether you’re a parent, a ministry leader, or someone shaped by church life, this episode will stir your heart to listen more closely for God’s voice, respond to His promptings, and embrace the value of multigenerational worship.You’ll also hear about Yancy’s vision for family-inclusive worship and what she’s learning from hosting her podcast Stained Glass Kids, where she interviews fellow pastor’s kids about their unique journeys.This is a conversation for anyone navigating transitions, parenting with purpose, or seeking hope on the other side of hard seasons.Have questions, comments, or ideas?
