What begins with a few seemingly ordinary encounters becomes the start of a life-changing journey with God.

| When Obedience Looks Reckless: The Return on Obedience with Tasha Glover | 21 Sep 2026 | 00:58:47 | |
A dream awakened Tasha Glover to the realization that she was living beneath her true identity—and obedience led her into a season she never could have planned. Tasha shares the emotional unraveling that followed leaving a job she loved, including sleepless nights, and how God continued meeting her in the unknown. Tasha talks about identity in Christ, hearing God through relationship, trusting His timing, embracing being multi-gifted, and learning that obedience doesn’t always make sense in the moment. At the heart of Tasha’s journey is a truth she continues to live by: return on obedience is greater than return on investment.

| When the Job Disappeared, God Became the Provider with Mick Wienholt | 18 Sep 2026 | 00:58:09 | |
What happens when the career you built your security around suddenly disappears? Mick Wienholt, host of the Coincidence or God podcast, shares how a rescinded job offer became an invitation into surrender, trust, and a radically different relationship with God. We talk about ambition, the pull of money and financial security, fear of lack, fasting for direction, and 18 months without a paycheck as the sole breadwinner. Through unexpected provision, a family “miracle wall,” and learning to wait on God, Mick discovered that worth was never meant to be tied to income, performance, or success.

| ALL CLEAR: Faith in the Middle of an Unexpected Health Journey with Kristin Kurtz | 16 Sep 2026 | 00:39:52 | |
In this deeply personal episode of Hope Unlocked, host Kristin Kurtz shares her health journey in real time. Before receiving biopsy results in February 2024, she heard two words in her spirit: ALL CLEAR. She has stood on those words ever since, even as she pursued natural healing—and then learned in June 2026 that what she believed had healed was still there. In a special host takeover, Kristin is joined by her dear friend and spiritual mama, Sherri Conran, who steps into the host seat as Kristin shares the shock, questions, peace, and faith of now facing surgery and reconstruction in November. And once again, ALL CLEAR is weaving its way into the story as she chooses to trust God in the middle, before knowing how it ends. Kristin’s dear friends Rebecca Stuart and Sherry Conran have also created a GiveSendGo to help with medical expenses and missed work during this season.

Mediator Amy Vanderbeek shares how her own high-conflict divorce during COVID became the doorway into restorative mediation and helping others navigate difficult transitions with greater clarity and confidence.
