As he enters the home of our next guest, Kerrie Stone, Ed's presence commands attention. With his long white beard and weathered face, it is clear that he has lived a life filled with experiences and wisdom.
Ed's journey began as a Texas farm kid, cherishing the freedom and simplicity of rural life. However, at the age of seven, his family relocated to Fort Worth, and Ed embarked on a new chapter of his life. Coming from a large family of six kids, with a loving stay-at-home mom, Ed's upbringing instilled in him the values of love, warmth, and togetherness.
Throughout his life, Ed has embraced various careers and ventures. Yet, the roles that he treasures most are those of a devoted husband and a loving father.

His eyes reflect the depth of his grief, and his voice carries the weight of a broken heart. It is through his unwavering faith that Ed finds solace and strength, drawing on the wellspring of his beliefs to guide him through the darkest of times.
During our conversation, Ed opens up about another tragic loss he has endured— the passing of his daughter from an illness. He recounts the heartbreaking moment when she expressed her desire to meet God before her departure from this world. Through these poignant moments, Ed's resilience and steadfast faith become evident, illuminating the power of spirituality in navigating life's most challenging trials.
Join us as we embark on a profound and moving journey with Ed, accompanied by The Jar podcast. Through his story, we are reminded of the fragility of life, the enduring power of love, and the unwavering strength of faith. Ed's remarkable resilience will inspire and touch your heart, leaving a lasting impression of the profound impact of faith and the enduring bonds of love.

#271 Revealing Identity: Kim's Journey of Adoption and Self-Discovery with DJ Kimmy K
We are delighted to introduce our next guest, Kim Middleton, known affectionately as DJ Kimmy K. Our encounter takes place at the Austin Windsor branch of the public library, where Kim graciously welcomes us with her warm and gentle presence. She hails from a small Texas town, a place reminiscent of a bygone era, where coming home at the sight of street lights illuminating the neighborhood was the norm—a testament to the innocence and simplicity of days gone by.
At the tender age of 12, Kim's world was forever changed when her father revealed that she was adopted. While this revelation had been their plan all along, the message was poorly delivered, leaving Kim to grapple with a sense of betrayal and a feeling that her entire life had been a lie.
Kim's family dynamic involved a working mother and a father pursuing education, leading them from their small Texas town to Houston, and eventually settling in South Florida. Despite her Texas roots, she grew up as a Florida girl, embracing the vibrancy and diversity of her surroundings.
During her high school and college years, Kim unexpectedly stumbled into the world of radio through a journalism internship. What started as a temporary opportunity blossomed into a remarkable career. Today, she is a full-time DJ, gracing some of the most renowned venues and captivating audiences with her infectious energy. Her journey even took her to the enchanting realm of Disney World for a year.
In the midst of sharing her life's adventures, Kim opens up about a profound experience she had—an encounter with her mortality due to a brain blockage in the back of her neck. During this challenging time, she saw Jesus in the window of a passing car, enveloped by a profound sense of peace and serenity. Kim attributes this spiritual encounter to her subsequent healing and restoration.
Kim's essence shines through as a beautiful, warm, and loving individual. Her story, vibrant personality, and zest for life radiate throughout our conversation on The Jar. Join us as we have the privilege of hearing Kim's inspiring journey, marked by resilience, self-discovery, and the transformative power of faith. DJ Kimmy K brings her unique blend of music and life experiences, enveloping us in a captivating and heartfelt narrative that will leave a lasting impression on our hearts.
