This episode’s guest on “COFFEE with Kim” describes herself as “a child of God and a child actor.” And certainly, without the confidence of belonging to God, the rejection and obstacles and distractions of being a movie and TV actor would overwhelm a seasoned adult, let alone a 13-year-old. That’s why “focus” is such an important word to  Kylee Levien…specifically focus on how God wants to use her life.

Join John and host Kim Crabill to hear this compelling story of renewed hope and purpose.

Jesus clearly told His followers that we will have trouble in this world. Yet when hard times strike, we persist in asking “Why is this happening?” When Mike Gordon faced a life-threatening medical crisis a few years ago, he asked that question—as did many of his well-wishers. And when his father died in 2021 after surgery, Mike’s heart wrestled with the “why” question again.

At age 25, Luke Bernard was in a single-vehicle crash that left him with a broken neck and back and a traumatic brain injury.

Creating art was Tere Samayoa Schwartzbart’s dream from her childhood, yet opportunities to pursue that dream were limited in her native El Salvador.

An unprecedented mental and relational health pandemic is sweeping the globe. People are hurting in myriad ways and in record numbers. Unfortunately, churches historically have not been safe havens for people to be transparent about their pain. In order to be Jesus’ hands and feet lovingly extended, we must end the silence, expose the secrets, eliminate the shame, and erase the stigma of mental and relational health disorders. Training and equipping ministry leaders to address this crisis is the passion of Dr. Jared Pingleton, this week’s guest on “COFFEE with Kim.” In his conversation with host Kim Crabill, he unfolds some of the tools and insights that can bring help, health, healing, and hope to the hurting.

Here’s a sneak peak of this episode of “COFFEE with Kim” in the words of guest Aaron Schwartzbart: “I came out of the womb hardwired to drive like a homicidal maniac. I devoted the first 30 years of my life to relative madness and should have been dead or in prison 100 times over. Much to everybody’s surprise, I got born again at about age 30 and have been using my pathological tendencies with a steering wheel for good instead of evil ever since.” That should whet your appetite for the conversation between host Kim Crabill and Aaron about the good he is doing as founder of MotorGospel Ministries, which supports the LAPD, LA City Council, and the courts in addressing community problems such as gangs, drugs and illegal street racing. A rocket scientist with degrees in physics and theology, Schwartzbart is a 5-time-champion race car driver and an ordained minister. This promises to be a memorable COFFEE! 

From the time he was a young youth pastor, Kevin Almond was bothered by the lack of unity in the Body of Christ. Unity among believers mattered so much to Jesus that He prayed for it just hours before He went to the cross. Kevin resolved to discover everything he could about biblical unity and share it with anyone who would listen, which he has done for 30 years as a speaker, teacher, and author of 9 books. Among his key discoveries is the link between our God-given destiny and a lifestyle of unity. On our next “COFFEE with Kim,” host Kim Crabill’s conversation with Kevin Almond will dig deeper into what that lifestyle looks like and why it matters so much to God. Join us!

Have you ever thought about how many people you’ve encountered in the course of your life so far? Impossible to count, right! But have you ever thought about how many of those encounters were divine – directed by God to enrich your life and theirs? During the pandemic lock-down, speaker and author Sue McGray began to explore divine encounters in the Bible and discovered a wealth of application for our 21st-century lives. On next week’s “COFFEE with Kim,” Sue talks with host Kim Crabill about how the biblical encounters she studied opened her eyes to the divine appointments God was using in her life.

You could say Candace Kirkpatrick was born to perform. From childhood, this award-winning actress was constantly jumping through hoops, checking off boxes, striving to please. This pattern suited her career but stunted her growth as a follower of Christ. As much as she longed to understand grace, she kept reverting to trying to earn God’s favor by her own efforts instead of resting securely in His love and acceptance. On the next “COFFEE with Kim,” Candace tells host Kim about the transformational moment on a NYC bus when grace took on fresh meaning for her. Her story will move you. It will also help all of us who struggle daily with setting aside the perpetual performance and instead relaxing in God’s amazing grace.

She learned joy strategies that have turned her life around, and she will be sharing those strategies with us.
