Religious Trauma, Addiction, Betrayal — Pastor Kim Tells All
5/14/20262 hr 11 min
Throwback Thursday (Originally aired: 11/16/25)
Bunnie Xo sits down with Pastor Kimberly Jones for a powerful conversation about faith, redemption, and breaking generational patterns. Kimberly opens up about growing up in a strict Pentecostal home, the religious trauma she carried, and the years she spent running from the church. She shares her battle with addiction, her experience navigating multiple marriages, and the rock-bottom moments that ultimately led to her transformation.
Kim reflects on the unlikely journey from a party girl who rejected religion to a pastor inspired by Rod Parsley’s ministry. She talks about the criticism she’s faced from the church, the role her father played in supporting her recovery, and how her early motivational videos paved the way for her platform today. Kimberly also gets candid about marrying a man she met on Facebook who later betrayed her, and how that heartbreak fueled her growth.
Throughout the episode, she highlights the themes central to her ministry—self-love, forgiveness, resilience, and authenticity—and shares how her church has evolved along with her. Kimberly also discusses the books she’s written to help others embrace transformation and healing.

Lately, I've been way more intentional about what I'm wearing day to day. I still wanna feel cute and put together, but I also need pieces that are easy, comfortable, and don't require a full identity crisis every time I get dressed. That's why Quince has been my go-to lately. The fabrics feel elevated, the fits are flattering, and everything just works without me having to overthink it, which honestly, we love. Quince makes it easy to refresh your everyday wardrobe this spring with pieces that feel as good as they look. They use premium materials like organic cotton, ultra soft denim, and 100% European linen. Their lightweight pants, dresses, and tops start at just $30, and they're breathable, effortless, and easy to wear on repeat. And what really gets me is the pricing. Everything at Quince is priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands because they work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middleman, so you're paying for quality, not some inflated label price. Their denim has honestly been a standout for me. It has that structured, flattering feel, but it's still soft enough to actually live in. And when I saw the price, I definitely had to double check because it felt way too good for that price point. Refresh your every day with luxury you'll actually use.
