So excited that the entire PROMISES OF GOD series is now available on audiobook! If youāre an Audible member, you can listen to the books there (note: AS LONG AS I CLING is currently in review and should be āliveā soon).
ALL of the books are now available on YouTube! You can listen by joining my YouTube channel at YouTube.com/kimcashtate/join (link in bio). Iām excited about offering this alternative, which provides access to the entire series at a cheaper cost (ad free).
Recording and editing this entire series was A LOT of work. Thank you @lamonttblackshire and praise God that you do so much more than music ššš¾š„
I pray the series is a blessing to you. Pass the word and happy listening! š š§šš¾

Had to get back on social media to celebrate this team! Words canāt express what these last few weeks have been like. We went to home games all season but traveling with @lsuwbkb for the past couple months has been incredible. We had no idea how far the journey would go, but we believed! God moved in SO many ways, and now they are National Champions! š
Sharing just a small part of this journey that blessed me tremendously. Love these young women and love this coaching staff! šš To God be the glory! šš½šš½ #lsu #lsuwomensbasketball #nationalchampionship #GODDID
Full recap (plus antics) from the International Christian Film & Music Festival. What a time šš¾ Thank you #icff for supporting independent filmmakers and artists and giving us an opportunity to meet and fellowship with one another. We left inspired as we continue to create for the Kingdom! šš¾š„ #clingteam #filmmakers #filmfestival #deut13
Praising God that @clingthemovie was honored last night at the International Christian Film & Music Festival with big feature film nominations. šš
Celebrating @lamonttblackshire nomination for Best Music Score and @directorwillthomas2 nomination for Best Cinematography šš¾šš¾š„
When God put this team together 8 years ago, we couldnāt have imagined all that He had in store. Grateful for the opportunity to produce films and music that glorify Jesus.
If youāre a fellow filmmaker, keep pressing, keep praying , and keep trusting God to do beyond what youāre able to do. And donāt let anyone minimize the power of creating movies and music for Jesus! šš¾šš¾

To my sisters in the Lord who feel that time is passing them byā¦..
Iām 59. When I turned 50, I was ready to hunker down in the calling God had shown meāwriting novels. That in itself had been a surprise, that Iād gone from litigating attorney (my plan) to storyteller (Godās plan). With my kids graduating homeschool, I could finally write full time. I was thrilled. Didnāt ask or seek to do anything more.
I thought I understood the extent of the call to storytelling.
By 52, God had expanded it. I was telling stories through screenplays and musicā¦..plus acting and singing. The Lord knew I wouldnāt pursue such a path on my ownāat my ageāwithout unmistakeable, providential promptings and sovereign confirmations.
But it wasnāt about writing screenplays and songs. It was about CLING. It was about intimacy with the Lord. I knew that too was what Iād been called to, the ministry God had given based on Deuteronomy 13:4.
I thought I understood the extent of the Cling ministry.
It took another few years for God to reveal more. Itās not just Deuteronomy 13:4āitās the whole of Deuteronomy 13. Itās intimacy with God AND āno other godsā. Thus, itās alsoā¦..warfare.
And hereās the thing: I couldāve never imagined what God had in store for this (older) decade of my life. I couldāve never imagined what He would reveal, how He would move, what I would need to endureā¦ā¦.and so much more.
YOU cannot imagine whatās ahead for you. You donāt know what the Lord is about to switch up, reveal, clarify, deepen, shake up, pruneā¦. You donāt know what Heās about to call you to or how challenging it may be.
And your age is irrelevant to the call.
Well, not true. Age IS relevant in the word, to show us how unlikely it was for a thing to be done, so weād know itās ALL GOD.
Time has not passed you by! How could it, when time is in the Lordās hands and itās always perfect.
So keep walking with Him, keep seeking, keep clinging, and stay deep in His word. He WILL establish the good works He already ordained for you to walk in (Ephesians 2:10). šš¾š

The work of film and music production is largely done behind the scenes. Our work on @clingthemovie has been years in the making. So itās a blessing to be able to enjoy the fruit of that work as a team. šš¾š„ #clingteam #filmmakers #filmfestival #GodDidIt
Thanking God for our first screening! šš¾ We didnāt know weād be doing a festival run when we shot @clingthemovie , but weāve been blessed by the response to the film and the music. It was a lot of hard work to get to this point, so only fitting to celebrate as a team. š„ #clingteam #deut13studios

āWait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORDā (Psalms 27:14).
When thatās one of the verses thatās been on your heart, you know what kind of season itās been. It doesnāt mean that God has been silent (far from it) or that Iāve been inactive, but it feels like Iāve mostly beenā¦..hidden.
Saying no to many things. Waiting to release most things. Rarely posting. Relishing that Iām rarely posting. š And just praying for the Lord to order my steps, order my plans, order everything in accordance with His will. In other wordsā¦..clinging. šš¾
Waiting often isnāt easy but I cherish the intimacy with the Lord that comes with waiting. And I love the promises that come with waiting:
āFor from days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides You, who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him.ā (Isaiah 64:4)
ā. . . Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.ā (Isaiah 40:31)
If youāve been in a waiting season, lean into what God is teaching you and revealing to you, cherish how Heās growing you, soak in His word, and watch for His faithfulnessāitās never failing. And know that in time, He will act. And you will gain new strength. You will mount up! š¦ You will run. Thatās a promise!
P.S. In the waitingā¦ā¦we made a movie, yāall. šš¾š„ Follow @clingthemovie
Such an amazing weekend with family and friends celebrating the inauguration of @williamftate4 as President of Rutgers University. From Friday on the Newark campus to Saturday in New Brunswick for the football game, it was truly a special time. So thankful to everyone who worked tirelessly to make this a memorable occasion. #rutgers ā¤ļø
Super late post but timely since itās about that season again. šš This past June, my last day on LSUās campus was spent with my womenās basketball family. I was so moved that they would take time to gather for lunch and fun conversationāplus parting gifts with memories of my time there. šš
I will be forever grateful for how they took me in two years ago. The practices, the road trips, antics at meals on the road š, special one-on-one convos, sitting behind the bench at gamesā¦.THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP šš¾ so many memories!
I praise God because He shows His faithfulness from season to season, often in unexpected ways. šš½
Alsoā¦. Iām glad weāre not at another SEC school so I can say without hesitation that my heart will always be with this team. I just have to get over watching from afar on tv. š Love always! šš @lsuwbkb #lsu #geauxtigers
