Episode 4: The Door That Finally Opened

Episode 5: Jesus Didn't Leave Me There

Meeting Jesus wasn't the end of my story. It was the beginning. After twenty years of searching, I thought saying "yes" to Jesus would instantly erase the pain, answer every question, and heal every wound. Instead, something even more beautiful happened. He began a relationship with me. If you are new here -  I encourage you to begin with Episode 1. This season is one continuous journey, and each episode builds on the one before it. In this deeply personal episode, I share what those first months with Jesus were really like—learning to recognize His voice, discovering the joy of Scripture, journaling with Him, experiencing His love, and watching Him gently undo years of guilt, shame, perfectionism, and striving. I also share one of the first things Jesus ever spoke to my heart: "Expect the extraordinary." Looking back, I realize He wasn't simply saving me. He was introducing me to Himself. If you've ever wondered: • Why you still struggle even though you love Jesus • How to recognize God's voice • Whether healing is a journey instead of a moment • Why Jesus doesn't leave us where He finds us This episode is for you. Healing isn't about becoming perfect. It's about learning to walk with the One who loves you perfectly. ✨ Download the free chapter of my book, A Heart Fully Alive, and continue the journey.

Episode 4: The Door That Finally Opened

After twenty years of searching, Kris finally found what every well, philosophy, practice, and pursuit had failed to provide. But the story didn't begin with a church service or a dramatic altar call. It began with closed doors. A job search. A light blue blazer. A woman who would be my boss. A woman who was a Pastor. And an ordinary walk that changed everything. In this deeply personal episode, Kris shares how God was pursuing her long before she understood what was happening. From an unexpected longing for repentance to praying prayers she barely understood, she discovers that Jesus was already moving toward her while she was still searching for Him. If you've ever wondered: • Why you still feel hungry after trying everything • Whether God sees you in your searching • If you've gone too far or taken too many wrong turns • How Jesus meets us before we have all the answers This episode is for you. Sometimes the door you think is about a job is actually about a Savior. And sometimes the One you are searching for has been pursuing you all along. ✨ Free Chapter Download: A Heart Fully Alive: From Brokenness to a Journey into the Heart of God Visit: heart2heartministry.com #TheWholeHeartedWoman #AHeartFullyAlive #ChristianPodcast #FaithJourney #HeartHealing #JesusHeals About the Podcast The Whole Hearted Woman Podcast with Kristen Rey is a faith-based podcast for women who love God — or want to — but know there are parts of their heart that still need healing.

Episode 3: Every Well I Could Find

After a devastating season that left me searching for answers, I began a journey that would span nearly two decades. I searched everywhere. Meditation. Eastern spirituality. Self-help. Inner healing. Ancient wisdom. Anything that might satisfy the ache I carried deep within my heart. For a while, each well seemed to offer something I needed. A glimpse of truth. A moment of peace. A sense of hope. But the thirst always returned. In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of my search for healing, meaning, and God—and how I eventually discovered that I wasn't lost at all. I was being led. If you've ever found yourself searching for something that still feels just out of reach, this episode is for you. In This Episode: • My search for healing after a painful turning point • A powerful experience that changed me forever • The spiritual wells I drank from for nearly twenty years • Why nothing fully satisfied the deepest thirst of my soul • How God was leading me long before I knew Him 📖 Read the first chapter of A Heart Fully Alive for free!

Episode 2: The Whole Hearted Woman: When the Pain Became Too Much

Most people don't break because of one thing. They break because a hundred things were already resting on their shoulders. In this episode, we go back—not just to the hospital room I told you about last week, but even further. Back to the little girl who learned to listen for footsteps. Who learned to read the emotional temperature of every room before she walked into it. Who was learning to survive long before she learned who she was. I'm sharing the years that formed the wound—the instability at home, the voices at school that planted a lie so deep it attached itself to everything, and the relationship that ended when the entire structure finally gave way. Not because that relationship was the cause. But because it was the crack in the dam. The moment the accumulated weight of a lifetime could no longer be contained. If you have ever felt like something is fundamentally wrong with you... If you have carried the quiet belief that you are not worth staying for... If you've wondered why certain wounds seem to follow you no matter how much faith you have... This episode will meet you there. Gently. Honestly. And with great care. Because what was spoken over you is not the truth about you. What happened to you is not who you are. And you are allowed—finally—to call it what it was. Bring your journal. There may be moments you'll want to sit with long after the episode ends. ✨ New episodes every week. 💛 Share this with a woman who needs to know she is not alone. 🌿 Learn more at heart2heartministry.com About the Podcast The Whole Hearted Woman Podcast with Kristen Rey is a faith-based podcast for women who love God — or want to — but know there are parts of their heart that still need healing.

Episode 1: Welcome Home - A Heart Fully Alive: A Journey from Brokenness to Whole Hearted Living

What if the very thing you've been hiding is the thing that sets someone else free? This is Episode 1 of a brand new season — and a brand new beginning. If you've been here before, welcome back. If you're finding this podcast for the first time, I believe you found it for a reason. This episode is an invitation. Into a heart room — a safe, judgment-free, pretending-free space where your story matters, your pain is welcome, and healing is not just possible. It's the whole reason we're here. I'm Kris Rey, founder of Heart 2 Heart Ministry, and in this episode I'm doing something I should have done from the very beginning. I'm stepping out from behind the curtain and telling you the truth about how I got here. At 22 years old I was in a hospital. Not because I wanted to die — but because the pain had become louder than any hope I could find. I grew up in a home that wasn't safe. I learned early that love was something you earned, that keeping secrets kept people close, and that performing okayness was how you survived. And I performed it so well that even I forgot what was underneath. If you have ever whispered — even just to yourself — I don't want to die, I just want the pain to stop — this episode is for you. You are not alone. You are not beyond repair. And God is closer to you right now than you may realize. This season, A Heart Fully Alive: A Journey from Brokenness to Whole Hearted Living, walks chapter by chapter through my book and my story — from the darkest places of brokenness, through decades of searching, all the way to the healing and wholeness only Jesus could bring. Bring your journal. Bring your honest heart. And know that whatever you carried in today — you are welcome here, exactly as you are. ✨ New episodes every week. 💛 Share this with a woman who needs to know she is not alone. 🌿 Learn more at heart2heartministry.com About the Podcast The Whole Hearted Woman Podcast with Kristen Rey is a faith-based podcast for women who love God — or want to — but know there are parts of their heart that still need healing.
