"There are people out there like my brother, who are probably just tired of church people and the judgment and the negativity…," Kierra told The Huffington Post recently. "This is my way of presenting Jesus in a different way, in a fresh way, in a way I think he has called me to present him."
J. Drew Sheard II, previously opened up to The Christian Post about feeling pressure from church people because of his well known family.
"My dad hates when I use this term but the 'church people' that's probably where the most pressure comes from because I'm a pastor's kid and my mom is who she is. I come from this gospel background (so) everybody expects me to pretty much live a perfect life or do things in the lane of my mom and dad," J. Drew previously told CP, in 2013. "But I choose to do things outside so it's kind of a lot of pressure because sometimes I have to watch what I say because of who my family is. But it's just all about coming out of that box and coming out of those four walls and just being you."
