A NEW PODCAST
WITH CHRYSTAL EVANS HURST
JOIN ME ON THE JOURNEY!
After years of sharing the Chrystal’s Chronicles podcast with over 2 million listeners, I’ve decided to rebrand and relaunch the podcast! Eight years in the making. One recording at a time. First solo then with friends. I’ve loved sharing my journey, asking questions, honoring my own curiosity and the curiosity of my audience.
One thing has remained constant I’ve never wanted the conversations to center around what I alone share with others. It’s always been about all of us, growing and learning from each other one interview at a time. So here we are, continuing the journey in a new and fun way.

Real. Authentic. Practical. Thoughts on faith, family, food, fitness, fun, and living with focus.
What does it really mean to say yes to God?
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Brenda Palmer to talk about radical obedience, trusting God’s leading, and walking by faith when you don’t have all the answers. Brenda shares lessons from her book The Journey of Yes and opens up about the challenges, disappointments, and unexpected blessings that can come when we follow God’s voice.
Together, we discuss why obedience often requires trust before clarity, what happens when our obedience is misunderstood by others, and how God often uses unexpected seasons to prepare us for what’s next.
If you’ve ever wrestled with a difficult decision, wondered whether you can trust God’s direction, or found yourself standing between what feels comfortable and what God is asking you to do, I believe this conversation will encourage you.
