Eight seconds can define a bull rider's career. For Tyler Kippes, the greater test began after the ride was over.

In this episode of Out Loud and On Purpose, Kyle Hargrove and Amy sit down with professional bull rider Tyler Kippes. Tyler began riding full-sized bulls as a child and entered professional competition while still in his teens. But in March 2025, his career took a terrifying turn when a bull's horn pierced his heart during Rodeo Austin.

Tyler shares the courage required to pursue one of the world's most dangerous sports, the injuries and setbacks he has faced, and what it takes to rebuild your life when your physical momentum suddenly stops.

This conversation goes beyond bull riding. It is about resilience, identity, and finding your "why" in the silence when the future you planned is no longer guaranteed.

How do you keep moving forward when the thing that gave you purpose nearly takes everything away?

Out Loud and On Purpose is hosted by Kyle Hargrove and Amy, featuring honest conversations, practical wisdom, and powerful stories that encourage you to live with greater clarity, courage, and intentionality.

What do you do when God's calling does not fit the life you planned?

In Part 2 of this conversation, Kyle Hargrove sits down again with Darrell Knight, Executive Director of SPARK Worldwide, to hear how a successful professional photographer became a reluctant missionary serving communities around the world.

Darrell shares the fear, surrender, and unexpected steps that led him to Colombia with little more than a camera in his hand. What began with one act of obedience eventually helped SPARK Worldwide dig more than 1,300 water wells and impact over half a million people.

This episode is an honest conversation about recognizing God's voice, moving forward even when you feel afraid, and surrendering what is already in your hands for a purpose greater than you imagined.

What could God do through your life if you simply showed up, trusted His voice, and said yes?

Out Loud and On Purpose is hosted by Kyle Hargrove and features honest conversations, practical wisdom, and meaningful stories to help you live with greater faith, clarity, and intentionality. It is time to stop living on autopilot and start pursuing what truly matters, out loud and on purpose.

What does it look like to fight poverty and human trafficking on the front lines?

In this episode of Out Loud and On Purpose, Kyle Hargrove sits down with Darrell Knight, Executive Director of SPARK Worldwide, to discuss the organization's global mission to rescue and empower vulnerable children, orphans, trafficking survivors, and at-risk youth.

Darrell shares how a promise to bring clean water to a village in Uganda became part of a worldwide humanitarian effort. Today, SPARK Worldwide helps communities through clean water wells, schools, orphanages, medical clinics, safe havens, agricultural development, and anti-trafficking initiatives.

This powerful conversation reveals why lasting change requires more than temporary aid. It takes sustainable solutions, faithful obedience, and people willing to step onto the front lines and serve those who need help most.
