Summary
What happens when gospel royalty gets real about faith, insecurity, purpose, and pain? In this episode of The Deep End, I sit down with the one and only Kierra Sheard.
Kiki opens up in a way I've never seen before—about the weight of legacy, the wounds of relationships, body image, her deep love for Jesus, and the moment cops showed up at the GRAMMYs. Yeah… it gets real.
We talk about: Spiritual battles, transformation, and the meaning behind her new song "Rain"
Navigating heartbreak, insecurity, and finding healing in God's presence
Stepping into her calling as a singer, actress, author, and now a mom
The raw moments of faith after miscarriage and what it means to carry the promises of God
The Glorilla gospel song controversy and why she refuses to compromise her witness
Growing up in the shadow of gospel legends—and choosing to rise anyway
This one's vulnerable, hilarious, and full of the Holy Spirit. If you've ever wrestled with purpose, pressure, or pain—you're gonna feel seen.
Let's go to The Deep End.
