She hated God, drank, did drugs, and smoked two packs a day — and believed she was too far gone for God to ever want her. Then one Sunday changed everything.

Kristin Kurtz didn't grow up in church. She grew up in chaos — constant moves, trauma, and a deep belief that if God existed, He wouldn't want anything to do with her. By her teens she was numbing the pain with alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes, living what she calls a "Russian roulette life." She got a DWI at 20 and half-joked she'd burn a church down just by walking in.

But when her sister invited her to church in November 2002, something happened she never expected. Within one or two services she gave her heart to Christ — and then every addiction, every craving for alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes just fell off. No withdrawals. No rehab. Just God.

That supernatural deliverance was only the beginning of a life marked by miracle after miracle — including children doctors told her she couldn't have, and a house God so clearly prepared just for her family.

Today Kristin hosts the Hope Unlocked podcast and runs New Wings Coaching, where she serves as a "wonder activator" — helping women discover the everyday miracles God is already doing around them.
