The Finally Free Conference is something that is very special to me because I remember vividly what it was like to be bound, even as a Christian, and the day God began to set me free. The baggage, or stones in my life as I like to call them, were fear and anxiety. You combine those with a strong sense of feeling worthless and you get a devastating result. I believed for many years that my entire worth and value as a person was solely based on what I had to offer and what I did with my life. Constantly trying to be “good enough” to receive love is a tough way to live. The fear and anxiety began to rule my life and for a time even took my voice. Then one day God intervened in such a loving way and put me on this wonderful freedom journey. I remember Him whispering to my heart, “Kim, you say I’ve set you free, now it’s time to start living like it.”
A few years after this special journey began, Brian and I wrote a song titled, Finally Free, which was based on my personal testimony. The subject of God’s freedom quickly became a passion of mine as I began to share my story with others across the country during our concerts. In my travels, I was amazed to find so many others with a similar story of bondage. It was during this season of my life that I found myself on the beach in Ft. Myers, FL for a week of vacation. I have had some of the most wonderful “God moments” while walking the beach. I spent hours during that week walking by myself and just talking with Him. During one of these walks God deposited an idea in my heart and mind. I felt Him whisper something once again to my heart just like He had all those years ago at the beginning of my freedom journey. “There’s a reason I’ve allowed you to cross paths with so many amazing women through your travels. I want you to give them a platform to tell their stories and share with others what I’ve done in their lives.” My mind started racing as faces started popping into my head of women that I knew who had their own powerful stories of freedom and redemption.
This God encounter led to our CD, book and conference. God is the only One who can set a person free and He uses whatever and whoever He wants in order to make that happen. Right now we are seeing some amazing things during these conferences and we know it is not of our power, but God’s alone. We are humbled that He is choosing to use these events to impact women’s hearts to bring about transformation, not just for a weekend, but for their entire lives! We can’t wait to see what He has in store in the days ahead! For more information on the Finally Free Conference, CLICK HERE.
