SJP #003: Chrystal Hurst - Encouragement for the Weary Mom!

Simply Joyful Podcast — Chrystal Hurst: Encouragement for the Weary Mom!
Have you ever met someone and thought, “Wow! Did she get hit with the talent stick!” Ha! That is pretty much what ran through my head as I sat in the audience listening to Chrystal for the first time last year at a Sally Clarkson event. I hadn't heard of Chrystal or her podcast before that weekend. We ended up connecting over conversations of podcasting and Periscope. Funny how when you find someone who speaks your same crazy “tech” language you become instant friends.
Well, I'm all too familiar with Chrystal and her ministry now! I have listened to numerous podcasts, watched videos of her speaking, and read her articles on her blog. She is an incredibly talented and gifted orator just like her dad…well, like everyone in her family. That saying the “apple doesn't fall far from the tree” is very true for her!
When I listen to Chrystal's podcast I'm completely drawn in. You feel like you are practically sitting across the table from her enjoying a nice cup of coffee. I can't wait for you to glean from her in this podcast! You are about to see exactly what I mean. Get ready to be encouraged!
Listen Here:
Highlights from This Show…
- Here's a link to Chrystal's book Kingdom Women. This book is so encouraging. I hope you'll check it out. There is also a Bible study for it.

- “We don't have to have it all together. We have to make peace with not having it all together.” — Chrystal Hurst
- “Keep aiming for God and let Him work out in you what He needs to work out, so that you can be who He wants you to be and do what He wants you to do with the life that you've been given to live.” — Chrystal Hurst
- “We need to partner with God. While we trust Him to dig us out with the truth of His Word, we have to get the shovel and participate in doing the job.” — Chrystal Hurst
