Born in Baltimore Maryland, Jim was raised in a large family of aunts and uncles and a ton of cousins. They all lived near each other and attended the same church where they took over the music department as well as deacons, ushers, Sunday school teachers, youth pastor and whatever else they needed. In ’81 Jim left to attend Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, where he studied music and played bass in several groups during his college years. After college, he met his wife, Tracy, started working at WCIE FM and continued to play bass at the 10,000 seat church. Jim currently lives in Anderson, South Carolina with his wife and two kids while the two older ones live in Reno, NV and Nashville, TN. After 30 years, Jim left radio to work on his voice-over business called Mann Made Productions as well as help with the business side of his wife’s After School Care. Currently, Jim co-hosts a podcast called My Pleasure: The Unofficial Chick-fil-A Podcast with Alison Storm, a former radio coworker.
Now Jim has the privilege of hosting the Healing Strong podcast called, I Am Healing Strong. Jim with his Stage IV Melanoma journey brings stories of those who are thriving in this life that brings so many curveballs along the way.

Our battle scars from life have a way of impacting the health of our soul.
Do we allow our emotions of bitterness and unforgiveness to get the best of us?
Scripture tells us that we are to forgive others in the same way that He forgives us.
As an integrated being, our Soul (Mind, Will and Emotion) plays an important role in our overall health. Our feelings, our stress levels, our thought life, etc., will impact our health in ways we could never imagine.
Head to healingstrong.org/renew to hear our dear friend, @chrisbeatcancer share about the power of forgiveness from our 2018 conference and begin renewing your soul through his encouraging talk.
Kira shares about her story in this quick clip of following the "bread crumbs" as we sometimes say.
She mentions two specific resources that we LOVE.
@reboundair & @chrisbeatcancer
