She was Executive Producer and Host of the radio and online feature, Life Redeemed™ presenting first-person narratives of healing after abortion with commentary from Gary Thomas, Randy Alcorn, Theresa Burke, John MacArthur, John Ensor, and other leading Christian voices.

Kim’s book, Cradle My Heart, Finding God’s Love after Abortion (Kregel, 2012), features a foreword by Ruth Graham and was awarded First Place in the Sonfire Media contest at the 2010 Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference.

Judy Ducharme was a teacher for twenty-two years. Coming from a family of teachers, it seemed a natural fit. She retired in June of 2012. She grew up in the small lakeside town of Harrisville in the northern part of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, the youngest of four children. Following college, Michigan State University, Judy worked as an announcer at a Christian radio station near Lansing. She married Lee in 1975 and they lived in the Detroit suburbs of Berkley and Royal Oak until moving to Wisconsin’s beautiful Door Peninsula in early 1984.

At her first writers’ conference, Judy met Eddie Jones of Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas. He was the one who suggested TheCheesehead Devotional. Anyone who knows Judy knows what a crazy Packer fan she is. So, combining two great loves—first and foremost her love for the Lord, and, secondly, her love for the Packers—seemed a perfect match. Several months later, The Cheesehead Devotional became a reality.
