Ep 3 - The New Kid with Emily Funkhouser

Pastor's Kid

In this episode, Piper Ramsey-Sumner interviews one of her oldest friends, Emily Funkhouser. They talk about how moving across the country multiple times for her father’s ministry affected her childhood and how being married to another pastor’s kid has helped her feel seen and understood. Piper and Emily catch up on life after Christian college and discuss being the new kid, the importance of music, hell houses, shifting faith, and even a Fear Factor-themed Vacation Bible School!
