To Kim Wagner, mediocrity is not acceptable. She seizes every opportunity to enlighten, challenge and motivate people to look at their imperfections and see themselves as fabulously, unique people!  She has inspired thousands of people to look at life as a series of celebrations, encouraging with spontaneity and humor.

Kim has enjoyed numerous roles over the years. She is a singer, songwriter, seamstress, quilter and friend/fund-raiser for various organizations. However, the roles that have brought her the most joy and reward are that of wife to pastor, Dave and mother to Isaac, Margot, Lucas and Abram (though standing ovations are few and far between for the mom-wife gig). Without granting permission, these children grew up before Kim's eyes, thus making her an expert on child development. The Wagners are presently empty-nesters with two dogs, Gimli & Wilson who determine their daily agenda.

She delivers life-changing messages to parent and women’s groups, church gatherings, community events and is well known for her entertaining and dynamic delivery, often sharing real life stories sprinkled with a song or two.

Being average or simply par is not good enough. From one’s first breath to one’s last, it is imperative that the journey be accomplished with joy & laughter.

Kim married her college sweetheart, David Wagner in 1981 and proceeded to follow him to seminary in St. Louis, Missouri to internship in Lake Worth, Florida to their first years in ministry in Beach, North Dakota. Eventually, the Wagner's ended up in Fargo, where they yet reside.

"Kim spoke to our MOPs (Mothers of Preschoolers) group and I heard nothing but great things – we all loved her real-life stories, giving us that glimpse of grace found within her home, raising kids and giving them wings to fly.
She inspired all of us!”
Karla Lynstad, First Lutheran Church

"Kim's interaction with the audience was amazing. She made us laugh and cry and feel more alive than many of us have felt in years. I would have her back next year to speak & sing for our Mother-Daughter brunch at Trinity."
Sara Peters, Trinity Lutheran Church

"What a message! Her ability to speak in a compassionate, empathic way generated an extremely positive and enthusiastic response from all who attended. Obviously her humor mixed with serious undertones was appreciated by young and old. Loved her real-life stories!"
Nicole Swartzel, TwinWest Chamber of Commerce

"I've heard Kim sing on other occasions - but her rendition of "Little White Shoes" at our Spring Luncheon was the best ever - absolutely awesome. There was not a dry eye in our midst. "
Sandy Hyland, North Buffalo Lutheran Church

"I went to college with Kim and at that time in her life, I saw her as an extremely talented, determined, strong-willed, Godly woman. When I recently had the opportunity to hear her talk and sing - it suddenly hit me that Kim has found her real "purpose" and calling! I could have listened for another hour."
