In this conversational interview, host Kim and a guest (Speaker B) explore how biblical stories, especially Joseph’s journey from betrayal to purpose, illustrate the principle that God can turn suffering into good. Kim emphasizes the importance of transparency in her public ministry—podcasting, Facebook broadcasting, and radio—explaining that openness prevents the enemy from using past mistakes against her. She shares her personal testimony, recounting a painful divorce where her ex‑husband weaponized her past (including accusations of being a stripper), her five‑year battle with anxiety, and former habits such as smoking, drinking, and promiscuity. Kim describes how she chose to surrender those histories to God, becoming a “woman of God” who now offers affirmations, encouragement, and faith‑based guidance to listeners. Speaker B reinforces the need for authenticity, noting that audiences often see only Kim’s successes (books, publications, media presence) without understanding the wilderness she traversed. Together they discuss how genuine vulnerability can inspire others facing similar struggles, and they affirm that God’s presence brings joy even in difficult circumstances like prison, as illustrated by Joseph’s story.
Chapters
They hated him because he was always telling on them to the father, and they hated him even more when the father— Joseph's father gave him that coat of colors. But Joseph, he kept his heart pure after all that hurt, and he said, what was meant for evil, God worked it out for my good. Yeah, so I love how you brought that story up with Joseph, you know, like you said, I had to go through it. Like, people that may be going through something right now, they had to go through it. So I like what you said.
I mean, even it— not, not to get off the subject or anything, but even when he was in the prison, oh yes, that was, you know, it baffled me because it say that when he saw the Chief Baker and the Chief Butler, they was— but their countenance was down. I, you know, they weren't joyful like they normally be on any other— I'm sitting up there like, wait a minute, so they was happy in the prison?
You know what I'm saying?
It made me sit back and think about it. But because God was with him, like you were saying earlier, joy— it was rejoicing. They rejoiced every day, you know, because the presence of God was in that place. And, you know, and, and, and then he, he goes there and he tells them that he don't belong there. And he say, well, don't God interpret dreams? Like, wait a minute, it never said that he, he interpret dreams. Said that he had a dream. But when he was in that place that he didn't want to be, Kim, it revealed something else, revealed to him that now he can interpret dreams as well. Amen. I mean, like, so like you say, sometimes we just gotta go through. And I think God put Joseph— man, you know how many times I read chapter 37:45? A lot. And so, uh, yeah, so you host a, a, a Facebook podcast. So what can your listeners expect?
Yeah, so I always try to be transparent. Like, I always try to be transparent because I don't want the enemy to hold anything over my head. Like, people have come to me like, wow, you say these things that you did without any shame. Because let me tell you something, I remember when I was going through a divorce with my, my kid's father, like, he tried to throw everything on my past against me. Like, he went to the judge like, she she's— she was a stripper and all this stuff. So I said, you know what, I told God, I said, God, I would never allow the enemy to hold anything over my head. So I tell people, yeah, I was that, but I'm not anymore. Now I'm a woman of God. Like, what can you hold over my head? There's no condemnation, uh, in Christ Jesus, right? Those that belong, uh, those that walk in the spirit. So, uh, you're gonna— you're gonna have transparency for me. I'm going to tell you about my struggles and how God blessed me to to overcome them, then I'm just going to be able to encourage you as well because I know how it feels to be discouraged. I had anxiety for 5 years, so I know how it feels to be your worst enemy, talk yourself out of something. When God called Moses, Moses was like, God, I stutter. God, I can't. So you're going to hear some positive words or affirmations so you can do what God is calling you to do.
I mean Everything that you said, I, I totally agree with, because to do things on this level like podcasting or Facebook broadcasting, radio talk show host and things of that nature, you have to be transparent. Yes. You know, you have to be authentic. People, you know, like somebody can see Kim where she at right now, you know, 49 books, publication company, magazines, and radio and podcasting. But what about the in-between? What about what she went through to get to where she at? You know, I can see you now like, oh man, she doing good. And people can hate on that, but you don't know what I went through to get there. You know, like you said earlier, you said something about going through the wilderness. And when I first started, I actually did a podcast about that because a lot of times when we go through that wilderness, we going through that wilderness by ourself.
Yeah.
And when God brings you out and cleans you and clean you up, the people, the same people that was around you then, they don't want to be around you because you clean. They want to be around you because they want to throw some more mud on you, you know. Because as you said, that made me think about it when you said it, because people want to bring up what I used to be or what I used to do. You know, but like you say, God didn't deliver me from that, you know. So you can judge me however you want to judge me, you know. What I used to— yeah, I used to smoke. Yeah, I used to drink. Yeah, I used to be with a lot of women. Yeah, I used to do all that, you know. So, but that ain't what I'm doing now. So like you say, I don't let that affect me anymore because people will always, always try to bring up your past.
Yeah.
And you know, you know just as much as I do. And, and I know, and I know your story because I'm one of them.
