On Hope Unlocked, host Kristin Kurtz interviews Todd Reynolds of Sunrise New Testament Ministries on the calling that shifted him from sales to Scripture distribution. After a Sunday school plea for “Bibles in native languages,” Todd launched a lean model that partners with missionaries and local distributors to place affordable Bibles where access is scarce. Hear his near-death testimony, service-first sales mindset, and a VBS story from France that changed a family. We unpack why heart-language Scripture fuels evangelism and discipleship, how to endure dry seasons and practical ways to pray and support the Great Commission.

She shares chemo tips—what to wear for ports, what to pack, why to bring your own low-sugar food, and how to read labs to ask better questions. We cover boundaries, forgiveness, stress patterns, and practical faith.

Join me on Hope Unlocked as I chat with Judy Flumer, a testimony weaving together the threads of family, career, and unwavering faith in a rural South Carolina setting.

Sometimes, life calls us to take the road less traveled, leaving behind the familiar for new horizons that beckon with hope and growth. Judy and her family took that leap, trading city life for country simplicity and discovering along the way the profound provision and guidance that faith in God can bring. Their experiences, from the heartache of miscarriage to the joy of fulfilled dreams, underscore the transformative nature of trust, especially when coupled with the homeschooling journey that brought unique challenges and victories.

This episode is not just about recognizing one's calling but having the courage to follow it. As a mentor and coach, she's seen firsthand the impact of nurturing young minds, especially those educated at home, toward collegiate readiness and beyond. Judy discusses the importance of personalized guidance and the creation of resources like an ACT prep course to help students stand out.  We hope to inspire you to embrace your path with confidence, knowing that the right tools and a trust God can unlock doors to a future bright with hope.

Ever felt like you're standing at the edge of your dreams, unsure of how to leap into your true calling? This episode brings you the remarkable story of Kendra D Carroll, a homeschooling mom and ranch owner, as she launches her new book, "Step into Your Calling." Her story promises to be a lighthouse for anyone navigating the waters of their own purpose and faith journey.  She shares her revelations about how journaling and songwriting were the unsuspecting precursors to her authorship.

As we unravel the intricacies of the writing and publishing odyssey, she lets you in on the behind-the-scenes  moments that shape a writer's path.  Empowerment takes center stage as we explore what it means for women to amplify their voice in spaces where it's often stifled, highlighting initiatives like Ministry Makers and God's Yes Girls that encourage women to rise into their multifaceted callings and identities.

If you're passionate about the intersection of creativity and faith, tune in for a discussion centered on unleashing the inner roar rather than just finding your voice.
