Did you grow up in church?
🤔😁👌
Rev Run 🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️yes I grew up in church and it's the best thing that my parents did for me sooo far🤷
Grew up in Church....prophetic background as well
Sure did!
You need to keep sharing that with all the young people I love your hold Family. Because some young people need to hear this on TV
I wholeheartedly believe in God and his son Jesus
Amen sis ❤❤❤
There’s a difference between judging and quoting what the Bible says. And yes sometimes ppl will even quote the Bible but in a not so loving way. You can usually tell when that is happening. God is the judge for sure. None of us can judge but we are called as Christians to share the gospel but to do it with the spirit of love. I had to examine myself many times to make sure I don’t sugar coat God’s word when witnessing but at the same time delivering God’s word with love, hoping it’ll be received. This Christian walk is a die daily to the flesh walk. Meaning die to our desires that doesn’t please God. We all have areas to work on that God sees. Even those who have titles in ministry. Continue to have a prayer life and a repenting heart. God does the changing. He works inside out not outside in.
People have taken bits and pieces of Christianity to fit their lifestyle. They want to believe in a higher power that looks out for them and guides them, but they still want to live their lives the way they want, based on their desires. I don't know anyone who follows the Bible to the T, but these same people will claim that they are Christians. It makes no sense.
PK here...I can so relate, especially to feeling judged. It is great you are teaching your son at this early age. While it seemed like a drag then, I am grateful for having the foundation. #workinprogress
Agreed!
I like to say "I am a friend of God - i am a child of God". I like the Solid Foundation that Going to church gave me and I definitely like that it's made me know who I am.
PK here🙋♀️..Our work is just beginning..
still working on greater 🙏💪
I believe in and love me some Jesus...Father son and the Holy Spirit!!! Can’t live without him!!!
I grew up in a very religious family. Even though I personally didn't spend just about everyday in church, I still live by and believe in Jesus and my higher power. I believe in love respect and honor towards everyone.
I grew up in church a preschers kid and it was hard especially when I got to high school and didn't get to participate in lots of things but now as an adult I appreciate it. I strayed but returned to my faith because I realise that prayers and God has kept me and He is the answer. We are similar in a lot of respects.
Im NOT a pk but I did grew up in church....LOVE the lord❤️
GOD I NEED YOUR EVERY STEP OF THE WAY🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾WALKING BY FAITH❗❗
I grew up in church and got saved a couple of years ago. The best decision ever. I know people say the church is judgmental but it’s not about judging, it’s a standard that we have. Everything people are saying is in the Bible. Part of being a Christian is dying to your flesh and here in lies the issue. Most people just want to have a piece of God and still serve their flesh. But thank God for his redeeming grace. None of us are perfect but there is a way to live when you become a Christian. We are called the salt and light of the world. We are in the world but not of it so our conduct should reflect that. I would never go back to the world. Saved forever until I meet my maker. Galatians 2:20.
What are your thoughts on gay, married Christians?
I'm a PK! You just have to know who you are and be the best you. Love it!
I grew up in church me and my to brothers. Bible study vacation Bible school in the summer yes the whole nine lol. I would not change a thing about it. I'm still active in the church, Baptist as well ❤❤🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽
I grew up as a PK my grandmother, then my own mother were both pastors! I thank God for my upbringing and as a young adult I lean on God more. It can be difficult cause people look at PK life like you under a microscope but like you said it all makes us stronger!
Psalms 91,37,54,100,27,38 these chapter keep you grounded each and everyday .
I grew up in church from birth!! I know that Jesus died for my sins. I trust totally in God!!!!
Grew up in the church. I remember eating after church
Mental illness is what keeps me grounded. Knowing any toxic situations can be room for error in growing spiritually, personally, corporately, academically, & socially. It can also have an impact on self care & knowing everyone including me could easily be in a situation without owning your destiny with adequate support, love, & like-minded people. And people who live differently & not compromise respect & dignity.
Man, I’ve been watching Angela since the show with her family. It’s so nice to see her as a grown woman
I didn’t grow up in church but I accepted Christ when I was 17. I had a phone conversation with a friend and confessed to her that I thought I was bi. She simply invited me to church. I was excited to attend because I always felt I was close to God. I went there for 7 years even after she had gotten kicked out. I’ll never forget that invitation. I don’t consider myself a religious person. I don’t do stuff for the sake of doing them like going to church and so forth; I have to have a good reason. I believe God is real and he is perfect, just, and Holy. I seek to be more like him and I always ask myself what more I can do to be more like him while still keeping it real. I learned that it is better to be an authentic follower of Christ than just a believer or a religious person. As far as not judging, I think that we make judgments everyday and God has standards that we should adhere to. We should hold each other accountable to those standards; however, there’s a fine line. I think the Bible wants us to recognize we too are imperfect when we recognize another persons lack of adherence to what he feels is best for our lives. It says we’ll be judged by the same standards that we judge others. I am still not sure how to make judgments, adhere to the word of God and it’s standards, and still not judge others at the same time. There must be a different explanation or understanding of what the Bible means when it says not to judge since we make judgments everyday.
Alright, so I wasn’t raised in church but I attended church a few times in my younger days. I graduated high school in 2002 and I realized I didn’t know what LOVE was. I knew that what I was currently experiencing at that time (in a relationship and at home) was a form of LOVE but it wasn’t what I agreed with. So I thought to myself “What’s the definition of LOVE???” Now you have the worldly definition which involved purchasing gifts and physical acts of expressing LOVE, but I felt that wasn’t good enough. So a year later I opened up the Bible and read the biblical definition of LOVE in the Corinthians chapter of the Bible and that definition made sense to me. I’ve been applying this to life ever since and I have realize that the struggle is the patience part, but it’s cool to apply this discipline to life. I was directed to go to the Bible for this information, because I remembered my Big Mama telling me when I was younger that if you are ever lost in this world and need direction, you should call on Jesus, go to church, because your always welcomed there, or read the Bible and you’ll be ok. Simple story and I hope everyone enjoys their day!
I need to read that
I’m a PK and people were so mean!! Kids and adults! It was all eyes on us! And because my father was well known in our town everyone knew who we were. I moved to Atlanta 13 years ago and when I go home random people still spot me out and say, “hey! Aren’t you reverend Garrett’s daughter?” 🙄
My faith in god keeps me grounded.😄💝🎆🎇
Angela most def have Run's swag but her own incredible beauty. Keep shining !!
Sounds just like how I grew up. I grew up in church. True Worship in Brooklyn NY. Those years shaped the foundation of my life.
I’m a PK kid and I understand you! I was in church most of the time. Lol but I don’t regret it or how I was raised at all!!
I grew up in Church. I had two uncles that were pastors.
Yes, I grew up in church, I am a PK and in a family of a long list of preachers and ppl that work in the church. I went to church so much, I feel like I have church credits lol, I love this new age streaming church
I am thankful for growing up in the church it gave me a strong moral foundation and a respect for love and how to be classy also how to be grateful for all things ....as an adult I do not identify with the church culture however God is real....there are pastors in my family for life.
I grew up in church. I was always at church everyday monday through sunday. A different choir had rehearsal. My dad is a musician and an elder at the church.
Yes I remember that too!!! Born and raised COGIC (Church of God in Christ, Pastored by Late Bishop Ted Thomas). There was Sunday school before services, then long Sunday morning and night services. Especially when it got hot up in there (praising and shouting).
AND yes Summer Bible School..lol! I got in trouble lots of times from talking or laughing during the service. And sneaking candy..omg good memories..lol. But I'm so happy to have that strong foundation in my life. When times it get rough our faith keeps us strong and brings us through...regardless of the situation. Belief that God has a plan and has you. Would not want to trade it.
Myself grew up as a preacher's kid as well, I actually miss these days honestly. Yes, I connect with Angela. Lol the hot plate if you know you know, it different after a long service.
Yesss it just hits different!
In everything give Thanks it is the Will of God concerning us in Christ Jesus🙌🏽
Thank you 🙏🏾 so much for giving so much of yourself. I appreciate it !!! PK kid ? Spending all day in Church ? I think it’s amazing that your Dad was able to remain sane and grounded in the entertainment industry... moreover as the legend Run of the legendary group RUN DMC and Jam Master Jay !!! I think it’s an honor that your Dad decided to bring his family up grounded and rooted in the Church and to become a Reverend . Salute to your Dad !!! Me ... I didn’t grow up in the Church per say ... but my Grandmother was an Eastern Star ... I remember as a kid being dragged in Church 3 times a week plus Sunday ! I mentioned in my new book that I fell out of love with Church when I got into a fight when a kid stole my nowandlaters 😇 . LOL ... that didn’t question my faith ! I guess that just gave me my excuse 🤷🏾♂️ Maybe that’s why I like Jolly Ranchers now ? LOL Nonetheless I still felt however that it was important to keep your faith and stay grounded and rooted in something bigger than you though !! That’s probably why I studied Islam and other faiths ? I just didn’t understand it like I do now !! But we are so quick to devalue the value in something we know little about ... right ? PK kids were teased , and weren’t considered cool in my era !! My era we wanted the fast life ... the right , right now !!! As a kid I had know idea on what my Grandmother was doing for us in keeping us grounded in the Church as I’m sure you guys didn’t either ... you never realize how those tools that you learn are forever apart of you !!! As an adult I think it’s essential though to be rooted in spirituality... spirituality helps you understand your connection , it helps you to identify that discernment.... Got to have a home rooted in the love of the Lord !!! Before the pandemic , before my divorce it was every Sunday and in football season !! It was Church grub and Football 🏈 😇. In my experiences I’ve been grateful for that connection though because with it , you know how to keep GOD on speed dial !! I do have to thank Pastor Jamal Bryant though for me ... this brother made Church interesting for me . I went to the Empowerment Temple for years in Baltimore we drove 40 miles err Sunday and Tuesday... and Church was everything that you talked about about ; The Empowerment Temple was non traditional, but all about empowering your spirituality, advocacy, being involved your community, expanding your financial perspective via all kinds of initiatives !!!
We all stray off but it’s imperative to reconnect and stay grounded .Reconnection to spirituality doesn’t mean being disconnected to being human , or being a person that’s going to experience the world , say some curse words , listen to hip hop music etc ... it just means that you Love God and you have integrity and try to be a good person & that’s what I teach my children !! Anyway... thank you 🙏🏾 and your family & Your Dad he makes it cool to be a Reverend. 💪🏽 Folks need that ... folks need to know that it’s ok to love God and be cool 😎 🙏🏾 !!
i Love you Angela simmons❤️
I grew up in a Christian Family, Christians are the Church. The building is just the building.
My husband is a Pastor, and we observe the Sabbath in our family.
Sabbath is the Day That God ordained as the Day of rest and the day to Worship Him.
Sunday-Friday are days of work. Exodus 20: 8-11,Mark 2:27,Isaiah 58:13, Hebrews 4:9,Ezekiel 20:12-24,
I not a preacher’s kid, but I still remember my dad telling us if we can go to a dance on Saturday night, we definitely can get up and go to church on Sunday morning.
It would be cool to see some kind of collab with Katching Kierra (Kierra Sheards YT channel name). You both seem to keep it real, and have strong faith 🤎
I grew up in church and I am a pk I agree with what you said about being in church everyday and meeting people. Also I can say other children looked up to PK kids
I liked before I watched! This is so relatable !! Being a PK was not the easiest but definitely built a solid family with other PKs
Beautiful testimony Angela. I am not a PK, but I was the sister of the Pastor, two times. Two of my brothers were my Pastors at two different times. I can relate to a lot of what you shared. I remember you and your family from Zoe. And you are right; the prophetic is indeed a game changer. I enjoyed this!
Jo Jo is hilarious 😂
He’s sooooo funny! I’m glad he’s on GUHH now lol
@@LadyK007 I agree and the Simmons fam is one of the reasons why I watch.
Preach
Brings....back memories....
In church.. 24/7
Now I Understand and Respect Ang even MORE
I grew up in church(just Sundays though) and I loved it. Loved your explanation on prophecy- our intuition really does guide us, it's pretty amazing ❤
My mother sent me to private schools, which were churches.I thought the preacher / principles kids were my friends. But they abused me. It was in Georgia and I was the only biracial person there. They flushed my head in the toilet and called me zebra. I quit school and never went bk. I wish I would’ve made better choices and not let anybody bully me into quitting
I grew up in church. I thank my grandparents for planting those seeds. I believe in God and his son my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I got baptisted at 12 but did it again in my twenties when I had a better understanding of what it means to be saved
I watched a few of your videos but this video made me subscribe. I knew he was Rev Run and wore the priest attire but I didn’t know he was really really “Reverend” Run like for real. I knew he believed in Christ but I didn’t know he was really preaching and in church with his family 2-3 days a week. I would have never thought of his children as PK’s. My grandfather was a pastor of a Pentecostal church so I know the schedule of bible study, prayer service, and my church and morning service and evening service…and going to both! lol. Keep doing your thing.
Enjoyed the episode, your funny! Can’t
wait until the next one ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
Love your story! My husband and I both grew up in church. I was definitely exposed to the prophetic at a young age but it took me until I was an adult for it to be activated within myself.
I grew up in church, my grandfather was a preacher and had his own church... I was there to open the church and close the church, mic check one two one two lol 😂
God is faithful
I love how you love the lord.Yes it's important to be in the house of the lord to praise and worship and feel his presence.We are living in a satanic world Satan knows is time is drawing near so he trying to posses individuals but we have to grounded Angela.We also have to be discerning.I am still a Christian I do attend church pay tithes,offering.We also have to be obedient to his word .Don't get caught up with witchcraft, blasphemy, unforgiven, formication,lust,greed,power,selling your soul and so on.I can go on we have to be careful.we all are here but we have live a clean lifestyle that is pleasing to him.Thanks for sharing blessings to you and your son.We love you thank you💖💖🙏
Yes. I wouldn’t be where I’m at in life without God. The good, bad, left and right God has been there at every turn. Even when people left, God has been there always. I pray that everyone has peace in life, relationships, jobs, etc. Love church! Blessings!!🥰🥰
Love this Angela! I’m a PK too. I understood all of this. I’m still active in church and helping the community. That’s all I knoooowww 😭 I’m blessed so no worries or complaints.
lol yes I grew up in church a baptized girl it was fun I love it!
I’m definitely a PK and totally understand what you saying
Such delightful young lady. Wow . Use to watch the mom and dad show . Exactly something I just learned and be mindful of not judging others. I may have some opinions, or disagreement . But I decided not to do so . God is great let be a reminder with thankful heart and attitude every day . ❤🙌great conversation. 🦋🦋🌸🌸🦋🦋.
I am a Christian thank God for changing my life.taught me to know myself worth i had married my soul mate he passed away in 2018. I lost two son one committed suicide and my other son got murdered. It been hard God continue give me the strength continue go forth in life.
Awesome 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
Yes grew up in church and now my husband and I are pastors. Never ever thought of being a pastor. I just want to sing in choir and that it.
Angela that's so right . We have to tell God thank you and also it will also teach us how to say thank you to others..
i am a non dominational christian. i grew up in the same church that i still go to now and it started off as a pentacostal church and when i was 9 or 10 we became a non dominational church. my dad growing up was the head usher and i would go with him at 5 or 6 am on sunday and on wensdays, fridays and special services we would be there all night from 3pm till between 10 and 1. depending on the service. harvest festival, thanksgiving, christmas, and new years services were till 1 am. and as a teen we had all night friday services once a month from 3 pm friday night til 5am saturday morning.
So true. I think the role that your parents play you always get judge from that wouldn't giving you the opportunity to prove and be yourself
Boy you bought up some good memories.i couldn’t look at my brother's cause they would make me laugh.and
I was a minister of music and one time the organist made me laugh cause he was mixing in the pink panther theme right in the middle of a religious song
I’m a PK and there was a LOT of church events.
I love your videos will you teach us more things about….your success business ideas and daily operations…..and how you balance your weeks
Grand daughter of a Pastor. It’s the Hot plates after service for me!
I grew up in church and spent a lot of time in church from being plugged in. I went to church 3 times a week and sometimes more depending on the events. I went to a missionary Baptist church and boy it was exhausting 😂. My friends were not about that life. I agree I enjoyed going to church and meeting the different people. I also agree eating after church was the best. I believe in the trinity and I appreciate the Christian values I was taught.
I’d say the best part would be the New Years service it was soooo fun to be with my friends and bringing in the New Years.
Born and raised in the church ⛪ learnt and still learning ❤❤❤❤👑📢📢
Yes/No... I didn't grow - grow up in Church, but as I aged I've spent at least 35 Sunday's and a few other day's of the week at Church. I've been the (Social Media and Video/Sound Minister) at the church during that period of my life I was there every Sunday for seven years or more.
I grew in church I know the feeling

Please do an assumptions about you
Loved this episode! 💞👑
I grew up in Church in South Africa 🇿🇦 when I was growing up in church was extremely serious and my father was extremely into it so on top of him being abusive it was even harder because it was one his way to control so I didn't like church as much because of my parents. We went to church everyday, wake early morning to pray and when we about to watch our favor he want to pray. We were forced to sing or else you in trouble. I hated that he was so nice and kind to church people and so evil at home. We we're not allowed to have friends. When I grow up meeting young people as me I didn't know how to relate as I never had friends except at school. Yes growing up it give a foundation for spiritual growth. I volunteer go to church now but I don't enjoy it as much as people are nasty in church, they jeleous, gossip, evil, nasty, and judgemental. I love God but I'm struggling to be active to church as it no longer fulfilling as it was in my youth being in College. I read the Bible and do prayers they more fulfilling to me. I have an amazing connection with God. It great foundation though but I don't think it okay to force kids to attend.
Thank you for sharing!!!❤️🇳🇱🐣🐤🐥🌞
church skillz are real life skillz
I would say I sort of grew up in church because my grandma and I would go ...she was the children’s choir director ...my mom and I went a few times but everyone who knows me or knew me through church is because of my grandma

I love you
☝👆☝👆 I grew up as a PK as well and it was SUPER SUPER F-U-N!!!!. It definitely helps to keep you grounded...believe it or not. I've learned a lot and seen lot as a PK....The expectations of you...the disappointments in.... but also my expectations of others and disappointments in others. PKs are usually and wrongfully held to a higher standardly others from the outside as if you are not allowed to make mistakes or you're not a allowed to have imperfections ...when we are just as human as anyone else. So Being a PK has it's ups and downs but I wouldn't want to change the journey I have gone through because it has shaped the person I am today.
