Not What You Thought: Real Faith, Unexpected Journeys – Krystal’s Story

In this week's episode, I'm joined by my friend Dani Jaye, author of It's Not Just a Man's World, for a deep and honest conversation about something many of us struggle with—learning how to truly rest. In a world that glorifies hustle, rest can feel like a luxury or even a weakness. But what if it’s actually a gift?

Are you feeling drained, exhausted, or constantly running on empty? Do you long for a different way of living—one that embraces limits, renewal, and joy? You're in the right place! Join us as we unpack why rest matters, how to embrace it without guilt, and what it means to find real restoration in your everyday life.

Kickin It with Krys: Learning How to Lament

Valentine's Day often symbolizes love and connections. For singles, however, it can often be a reminder of the desire for love, frustration, joy, and everything in between. In this honest conversation about navigating unmet expectations, desires for marriage, and being willing to look goofy on the dance floor, my hope is that, regardless of your relationship status, you will be brave enough to try something new, allow yourself to fully experience where you are in the present, and see how far you have come.
