Corey Kent shared “one of the most raw and vulnerable conversations yet,” on a new episode of The Upload with Brooke Taylor.
The Texas-born country artist, 31, caught up with iHeartRadio’s Brooke Taylor and Pastor Mark Evans on the newest installment of the faith-focused podcast, which released on Wednesday (April 8). Kent, a husband and father of four, candidly shared his experience with grief, faith, redefining success and more during the deeply personal discussion.
“Corey opens up about navigating miscarriage and loss, sharing how one of the hardest seasons of his life became a defining moment in his faith—not just for him, but for his entire family,” reads The Upload’s description, in part. “The conversation also dives into fatherhood and purpose, as Corey reflects on raising four kids, how becoming a dad reshaped his priorities, and why he believes success 50 years from now has nothing to do with awards—and everything to do with whether his kids still want to be around him.”
Kent said in a clip from the podcast shared on Instagram, “what I thought I wanted and what I actually want are two different things. I thought I wanted to be the most successful, record-breaking, you know, like the country artist that’s everywhere. And to have this realization like, ‘oh, God’s looking out for me,’ …He knows that I want, first and foremost, a great relationship with my wife and my kids, and I can’t do both. Like, I’ve seen what people have to give up to be as successful as I thought I wanted to be.”
