Kim M. Clark, M.S.B., is a powerhouse spirit-filled speaker, award-winning publisher, bestselling author, former marketing professor, and bold nonprofit founder whose mission is to ignite hope and healing in the most unexpected places—especially behind bars. 

With six books and counting, Kim leads Deep Waters Books and Lift Your Gaze, equipping trauma survivors, inmates, and those in need of hope with life-altering faith tools for transformation. 

She’s known for her raw authenticity, strategic brilliance, and uncanny ability to market ministry, share the Gospel, and help others share their messages with expertly woven storytelling. 

Kim’s innovative methods—such as leveraging AI avatars, short-form video, and correctional outreach—have helped her scale her messages across print, Kindle, audio, and an explosive podcast. 

A sought-after speaker and media guest, she brings humor, grit, and divine perspective to every stage. 

When not writing or speaking, Kim loves teaching the ladies in maximum-security jail, taking long prayer walks, and giving belly rubs to her 95-pound yellow Labrador, who insists on wiggling her way into every prayer circle—all while finishing her seventh book on spiritual warfare.
