Holding on to Faith When Life Breaks Your Heart with Chrystal Evans Hurst | Episode 79

“Especially when grief is fresh, it is going to sneak up on you.” – Chrystal Evans Hurst

I have such an important episode to share with you today. We are talking about times when life gets hard. And specifically, we are talking about how to hold on to faith when life breaks your heart.

To help us dive into this topic is my guest, Chrystal Evans Hurst. She is the daughter of Dr. Tony Evans, a preacher whose sermons were aired across the country in the ’80s and today airs on more than 1,400 radio outlets in over 130 countries. In the last few years, their family has dealt with eight deaths, disappointment, and struggles.

As a result of walking through this, Chrystal’s heart is to share their journey openly to help others navigate their own journey of grief and struggle. Chrystal is a speaker and best-selling author of the books She’s Still There and Kingdom Woman, and recently wrote a book with her family called Divine Disruption.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The impact of experiencing multiple hard things in life
• How to acknowledge what you need while you’re grieving
• Why emotions are there to inform us but not to guide us
• How to respond when we feel like God has disappointed us

Whether you are currently in the middle of something hard or not, this is a conversation full of truth that you really don’t want to miss.
