In this episode of Hope Unlocked, I’m diving into the powerful truth of who we are at our core. Each of us has been called by name, crafted with intention, and known deeply by God. Yet, in life, it’s all too easy to question our identity and purpose, especially when doubt creeps in.

Episode Highlights:
- Being Called by Name – I explore the meaning of being "called by name" and what it reveals about our unique purpose. We’re not here by accident; we’re here on purpose, known by God even before we were born.
- The Meaning of Your Name – Names carry deep significance. Have you ever thought about what your name means? I discuss the importance of names and how they can reflect a part of our identity that’s rooted in something bigger.
- Who Are You? – When someone calls your name, you respond without hesitation, instinctively recognizing who you are. We reflect on standing firm in this identity, knowing that it’s not defined by circumstances or opinions.
- Facing Doubt and Lies – Life can sometimes make us question our worth, especially when negative voices try to shake us. I talk about the importance of recognizing and rejecting these lies, standing firm in the truth of who He says we are.
- You Are Not a Mistake – For anyone who has ever looked in the mirror and felt inadequate or questioned their worth, this episode brings comforting truths. Every part of you is intentional, and you are here with purpose.

Reflection Questions:
-Who are you? Who does God say you are?
-What does your name mean? Is there something special about it that you hadn’t considered?
-Are there any lies or doubts you need to release in order to fully embrace who you are?
- What truths from God can you speak over yourself each day to remind you of your true identity?

Tune in to this empowering episode designed to encourage you to stand strong in your God-given identity. Whether you’re facing doubt or simply seeking a deeper sense of purpose, this episode is a reminder that you are uniquely called, loved, and seen. Listen now to rediscover the power of who you are and embrace your true identity!

In this solo episode of Hope Unlocked, host Kristin Kurtz takes a reflective walk through her podcasting journey and shares the heart behind Hope Unlocked. Inspired by a God's nudge to be a voice "booming through the airwaves," Kristin launched the podcast to give a voice to others who have faced adversity and emerged on the other side, filled with hope. In this candid reflection, she talks about her obedience to God’s call, her hesitations, and the incredible lessons she’s learned along the way.

Key Topics Covered:

1. Podcasting by Faith: Kristin opens up about her initial doubts and comparisons to Moses, questioning her own ability to speak and share. Despite this, she followed God’s call, launching Hope Unlocked without following the typical podcasting blueprint.
2. Cutting Through the Noise: Kristin discusses the challenges of being shadow-banned and how that revelation led her to podcasting as a key to bypass censorship and amplify God’s message in a crowded world.
3. Season Reflections:
   • Voices of Hope from the Valley: Season 1 was about highlighting testimonies from people who had walked through the fire and emerged with a message of hope.
   • Launching Pioneers: Season 2 focuses on women in ministry and business who are "Noah builders" — those doing things differently in obedience to God, even when it doesn’t make sense to the world.
4. Obedience in Action: Kristin encourages listeners to step into their God-given roles, even if it feels impossible. She likens this to the stories of biblical figures like Moses and Esther, who stepped out in faith despite the challenges.
5. Exponential Impact: Kristin reflects on the ripple effect of obedience — how one act of faith can multiply and touch countless lives. She challenges listeners to embrace their roles, knowing that someone is waiting for them to step up.
6. The Importance of Mentorship: Kristin shares her personal experience with the support of coaches, mentors, and prayer warriors, emphasizing the need for guidance and community when walking out God’s call.

If you’re feeling the pull to step into something new, or you’ve been hesitating
