Kristen James

Kristen started her journey at STAR as a promotions intern in 2010 and never looked back! She loves being able to encourage people every day, and finds so much joy in hearing from listeners about how they’ve been impacted by the show.

Her career in radio is an answer to her prayer one night as a teenager: “God, the only thing I’m good at is talking! What am I going to do with that?” She’s convinced that everyone has something inside them that God will use to do great things when you lean into it.

She and her husband, Mike, met in math class in 9th grade and have been married since 2018. They welcomed their sweet son, Noah, into the world in 2022. After a devastating miscarriage in October 2023, little Brielle arrived in early 2025.

She doesn’t have free time (#momlife), but if she did, she’d spend it putting puzzles together or making DIY projects.

Born and raised in New Jersey, she successfully avoided pumping her own gas until she was 33.
