Chrystal Hurst_ Headshot_2024 

Chrystal Evans Hurst is the author of She’s Still There and co-author of the bestselling book Kingdom Woman, with her father, Dr. Tony Evans. She reaches a wide audience speaking at conferences, sharing on her blog and podcast, writing for Proverbs 31 Ministries, and teaching and leading women in her home church.

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-itis but does so with grace, integrity, and love. She firmly believes in Jeremiah 29:11, “I know the plans that I have for you...” and she desires to help others believe and apply that truth to their lives as well.

In addition to her work in ministry, Chrystal works at home as the COO (Chief Operating Officer), cultivating hearts and commanding chaos. She is a mother of five and is homeschooling her youngest son around the kitchen table while hugging two sons now in college, two adult girls, a son-in-love and five grandchildren every chance she gets. Chrystal is grateful to share her life with a gentle giant named Jessie who had no idea what he was getting into when he asked her to marry him, bless his heart. The Hurst family lives in a small town just outside of Dallas.

"Our expectations were exceeded when we hosted Chrystal for our Kingdom Woman weekend launch. Chrystal is an engaging and expressive speaker. She seasons the rich, Bible-based truths she is teaching with memorable, enjoyable and very fitting stories from her life. When she ministered to our congregation in general, and later to our women in particular, we were touched and buoyed by her vulnerability and willingness to be transparent. Her message has a beautiful blend of humor, thought-provoking encouragement, and gentle challenges to take hold of Christ who has taken hold of us."
