STEPPING FORWARD
Determined Joy Ministries help women become more determined to keep joy in their lives through faith in Jesus and the Word of God.
Kim uses her unique skill sets as an attorney and a kindergarten teacher to help women find more joy in their life. Kim uses her attorney stills to research, study, and write about faith and the Bible. She uses her elementary education degree and kindergarten teaching experience to break complex things into simple bites everyone can understand. Because Kim’s desire is to see lives change, she also makes sure you can take what you learn and apply it in practical ways in your everyday life.
What can you learn from a lawyer and
kindergarten teacher? ANYTHING!
Meet Kim Erickson
Hi, I’m Kim! I’m passionate about helping women find true joy through Jesus and the Word of God. I believe we have to be determined to keep joy in our life. Although I battle through the loss of a child and the loss of two siblings, grief does not have a hold on my life.
This life can be difficult and overwhelming, but faith in Jesus changes everything. Is my life still hard and overwhelming at times? YES! But, there are things I do to shift my mind and my heart to the joy Jesus promised. I’d love to show you how to do this in your own life. I’ve been helping women seek joy for almost two decades.
I pray you’ll click around here and find resources to help you become determined in joy!
If you have any questions, or want me to come to your area for a women’s conference or retreat, please use the “Let’s Talk” page and reach out to me. I’d love to talk with you.
Bible Studies
Determined Joy Ministries offers online, live Bible studies for you to connect with other women who want to study God’s Word in a way that is practical and impactful for busy lives.
Grief Groups
Oh friend, how I wish you never had to click on this tab! This space is for grieving moms. The loss of a child is unique. It’s different from other forms of grief and loss. Yet (and you may not believe me now), there is joy to be found when you lean into God and His Word.
