Never Say Never: Becky Stanley & Kris McVaney on Women Rising, Global Impact, and Answering God’s Call

“Never say never.” Because Becky Stanley once said she would never do ministry work. God had different plans.

In this powerful podcast episode, Krystal sits down with Becky Stanley and Kris McVaney from Kairos Global Foundation (KGF) for a conversation about purpose, empowerment, sustainable impact, and what happens when ordinary obedience turns into global transformation.

KGF exists with one bold conviction: women are called by God to rise, lead, and transform their communities. And they are doing exactly that.

Through partnerships with local churches across India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Thailand, Kairos Global Foundation equips women spiritually, economically, and relationally — helping break cycles of poverty while restoring dignity, leadership, and hope. But this isn’t charity. It’s transformation.

Women’s Transformation Groups

Becky and Kris share how KGF comes alongside women through Women’s Transformation Groups — equipping them with mentorship, discipleship, financial literacy, leadership development, job skills training, and opportunities to launch small businesses through microloans.

The result? Women becoming leaders. Families becoming stable. Communities beginning to flourish. And the impact compounds for generations.

You can adopt a village and help impact 10,000–15,000 lives. Let that sink in.

What This Conversation Explores

• Why sustainable Kingdom impact must empower people — not create dependency
• The connection between identity in Christ and transformational leadership
• How local leadership changes everything
• Why multiplication — not just programs — is the key to lasting change
• The “ROI” of Kingdom work: spiritual, economic, and social transformation

Kris also shares her own “only God” story — how a call to missions early in life didn’t happen immediately, but how God used every season, every skill, and every experience to prepare her for the work she is doing now.

This entire episode is a reminder: nothing surrendered to God is ever wasted. KGF is building bridges between women in need and those willing to answer the call, and proving that faith-driven, sustainable development can transform entire regions.

If you’ve ever wondered whether one act of obedience matters, if you’ve ever questioned whether your skills could serve a greater purpose, or if you believe women are called to lead, disciple, and transform communities — this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
