He Who Overcomes!

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.”

— Revelation 2:17

Kip Klingman, MBA

Kip is a compassionate and humble administrator at the Christian Clinic for Counseling (CCC), who is dedicated to serving with understanding and forgiveness. With a heart set on exemplifying Christ in every interaction, Kip strives to navigate the complexities of life with grace and compassion.

Laughter is found in the joy of shared moments and the beauty of God's creation. His favorite books reflect a deep spiritual journey, from the transformative power of the Holy Bible to the practical wisdom of "You are what You Think" by Dr. David Stoop. Kip finds inspiration in the allegorical journey of "Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan and the purposeful insights of "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren.

Family holds a special place in Kip's heart, with a missionary father who has traversed the globe and a mother who provides steadfast support. The best part of Kip's life is experiencing God's transformative love, which has redeemed him from past struggles and brought newfound peace and purpose.

Through his educational journey, including a B.S. in Family Studies and Gerontology from Southern Nazarene University and an M.B.A. in Business Administration, Healthcare, Kip has cultivated a deep understanding of human behavior and organizational dynamics. However, it was a spiritual awakening that reshaped Kip's perspective, leading to a wholehearted commitment to follow Christ's calling.

Kip's ultimate goal is to honor Jesus by walking closely with Him moment by moment, allowing his life to be a testament to God's grace and love. His journey of faith began in childhood but took a profound turn towards surrender and transformation in recent years.

Today, Kip is most thankful for God's saving grace and the profound changes it has wrought within. His life verse, Revelation 2:17, speaks of the deep longing for intimacy with Christ and the joy of sharing that hope with others, as expressed in 1 Peter 3:15.

In answering God's call to serve at CCC, Kip seeks to embody Christ's love and bring healing to those in need, one compassionate encounter at a time.

Hope

“but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,”

— 1 Peter 3:15
