Preacher's Kids turned celebrities

The number of celebrities that grew up in the church is outstanding. You'd never know it because they rarely, if ever acknowledge God for their fame & fortune. Many music celebs got their start in the church: Snoop Dogg, K-Ci and Jojo, Jennifer Hudson, Toni Braxton and her sisters, etc. The most notable ones are Toni Braxton and her sisters because both of their parents were pastors and they frowned upon secular music. After a while, the Braxton sisters parents eventually let them do their thing and from what I can see, they haven't forgotten where they come from and I respect that. From time to time, they broke out some old-school church harmonies on Braxton Family Values. Many singers got their first start in their church choir and from that point on, God anointed them to sing and it was a wrap. You have celebrities that grew up in the church and go bonkers. I guess being raised in a strict religious household can cause one to rebel because the assumption is that your life has to be based around church; having a life is frowned upon.

  1. With everything, there must be balance. Every opportunity can be used to be a minister of GOD but everyone needs recreation. This is where many parents fall short. They hold their kids so tight that the kids don't get to learn how to make good decisions since their decisions are just based on being free from their parents. Life cannot be just about any one thing.

    1. I heard that. That explains why many people that were raised in religious households go buckwild once they leave the nest. They finally have the freedom they so longed for.
