Why is it so challenging to be patient and trust God in the waiting? How do you prevail in prayer through hard seasons without growing weary and cynical? What is the key to a strong, sustained prayer life? Today on the First15 Podcast, Rachel and I had the honor of chatting about these important questions with Chrystal Evans Hurst. Chrystal is a gifted writer, speaker, and worship leader. Being the eldest child of Dr. Tony Evans, Chrystal has been surrounded by the word of God her entire life. Chrystal just released her latest book, The 28-Day Prayer Journey: A daily guide to conversations with God. Rachel and I were encouraged and strengthened by our conversation with Chrystal on the topic of prayer and talking with God, and would even say this conversation added fuel to the fire for our love of conversation with God. We know it will do the same for you. ______ First15 is a daily devotional written and recorded by Craig Denison.
