Join me Tuesday, June 16th from 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST as I welcome Rev. Dr. Ken Gordon, Jr. to The Kim Jacobs Show for a powerful conversation about resilience, faith, healing, and choosing purpose over pain. Pastor Ken’s journey has included navigating racism, betrayal, loss, career setbacks, church hurt, failed relationships, and life’s unexpected battles — yet he refused to allow his wounds to harden his heart. We’ll discuss: How do you heal without becoming cynical? How do you overcome betrayal without losing your ability to trust? How do you keep your compassion in a world that can feel harsh? How do you fail forward and turn adversity into purpose? We’ll also talk about his books “Combat Zone: Navigating Corporate America While Black” and “Bad Dogs – The Complete Story” and the lessons he learned from a life of perseverance, leadership, and faith.
