“Jesus, come renew my peace of mind!” sings Kim Gentry Meyer in a beautiful song titled, “Mind of Christ.” Kim is an award-winning songwriter, poet, singer, and visual artist. She also won the title of Mrs. Massachusetts in 2020, an experience that she says gave her the confidence and the tools she needed to pursue other areas of passion. Kim discusses what she would have told her younger self about the beauty pageant world, and how young Christian women can pursue the competition without getting in over their heads and remaining focused on God’s love and truth. From Kim’s music to her poetry, she puts the grace of God’s gifting into everything she does and is committed to sharing her story with others to inspire and uplift them through music and art.
