Today’s episode is with my guest Chrystal Evans Hurst.
Chrystal is an energetic, life-loving “girl-next-door” who loves encouraging others to fulfill their potential in Christ. With humor and vulnerability, Chrystal tells it like it is but does so with grace, integrity, and love. Chrystal is a wife, mother of five and grandmother of three. She is also a speaker and the best-selling author of She’s Still There and Kingdom Woman and the newly released, The 28-Day Prayer Journey.
We talk how Chrystal has walked through grief losing her mother recently, how spiritual and physical nourishment are similar. Chrystal also shares her story of walking through shame as a single mother but being loved on by people surrounding her during that time. You will also hear a practical reminder of how to pray continually.
That’s all coming up in this episode, so let’s get to it. Here is my conversation with Chrystal Evans Hurst!

Quotes from the episode:
When processing grief in public and private, “Make sure you are doing it.”
“I give myself room to experience it.”
“Crack open your Bible and shorten the distance.”
“The best food is actually the food you fix for yourself.”
“The same that is true in the physical realm is true in the spiritual realm.”
“We don’t realize how good the fresh food is.”
“Shame grows in secret”
“The act of trying to protect the dark spots means you are covering it up and the act of covering it up is an act of shame.”
“You have to get past that initial discomfort.”
“On the other side of the darkness is the light.”
“Why would we withdraw from the light if that’s where the blessing is?”
“We think that we don’t want to feel the pain of the light and the reality is, the light is where the blessing is.”
“They are met with light and not love but a lashing.”
Advice to moms with children who are out of fellowship with the Lord---“How can you love them, how can you affirm who they are even if you are not affirming of what they’ve done or are doing?”

“Crack open your Bible and shorten the distance.”
