Grace to Grow exists to connect you with Jesus! We hope every episode fuels a hunger to know Him intimately and provides spiritual tools for daily life.

Our host, Kristel Ward, is an insightful Bible teacher and inspiring conference speaker. As a former educator in some of the toughest schools in Texas and a 20+ year Christian ministry leader, Kristel’s biblical wisdom has encouraged thousands to follow the example of Christ. She is the founder and director of Grace to Grow, a nonprofit that empowers ministers and supports women around the globe. Whether from behind the podium, social media platforms, or camera productions, Kristel helps busy people grow in their relationship with God.

Kristel is married to BJ, and together they have three smart and sometimes messy children: Abbey, Emma, and Evan. The Wards enjoy road trips, the outdoors, and a good campfire.
