In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones connects with Kimberly Joy from southeastern Wisconsin. Living up to her namesake, Kimberly discusses the deep, layered reality of joy as a fruit of the Spirit, revealing that when we feel a lack of joy, the true danger we are facing is actually hopelessness. She shares her incredible journey of becoming a teen mom, marrying at 18, and raising 11 children; an experience she jokingly credits with revealing the weaknesses that prepared her for the intense challenges of entrepreneurship!
Listen in as Kimberly recounts her professional transition from running a house-cleaning business with a standard of excellence to overcoming crippling imposter syndrome and her terror of the word "no" to become a certified life coach. Today, she is the founder of FEW (Fellowship of Extraordinary Women), a rapidly expanding national network for faith-forward women entrepreneurs. If you are lacking joy in a dark season or feeling paralyzed by business rejection, Kimberly’s powerful reminder that every "no" is just a brick on the road to your destiny will completely renew your courage!
