Unlimited Faith: Tom Roy's Journey from Pro Athlete to Global Ministry Trailblazer

Send us Fan Mail

In this powerful episode of Hope Unlocked, host Kristin sits down with Tom Roy, a former professional athlete turned ministry leader, to explore his incredible journey of faith, redemption, and perseverance. From his roots as one of seven siblings in a small Wisconsin town to signing with the San Francisco Giants at just 17, Tom's life story is a testament to God’s transformative power.

Tom shares the heartbreak of losing his baseball career due to injury and the pivotal moments that led him to Christ. A chance meeting with Carin, who became his wife, and a life-changing discipleship relationship helped Tom rediscover his purpose. His path took him to Grace College, where he grew spiritually and professionally, ultimately preparing him for a life of ministry.

Kristin and Tom discuss the founding of Unlimited Potential Inc., a global ministry that shares the gospel through baseball clinics. With stories of bringing Major League players to countries like Russia, China, and Puerto Rico, Tom reflects on trusting God’s provision, as the ministry thrived for over 40 years without ever requesting funding.

Tom’s reflections on leadership, mentoring, and stepping into the unknown inspire listeners to trust God’s plans, even in uncertainty. His humility and faith-driven courage remind us that setbacks can become platforms for God’s greater purposes. Don’t miss this uplifting conversation about unlocking your purpose and following God’s call.
