Out of the darkness in her own past, Chystal Gaunt began sharing her story of domestic abuse and launched a nonprofit organization to love and serve women who have experienced the same. Her story is one of God providing for her dream repeatedly as she continues to follow His lead. Even though she went through a season of overwhelm and burnout, God provided a new vision and paved the way for each baby step along the way.

IF YOUR DREAM FEELS BEYOND ANYTHING YOU COULD IMAGINE, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU.

If you or someone you love has experienced domestic violence, this episode will be an encouragement to your heart and will provide resources for your healing and recovery.

Chystal and I talk about the uncomfortable experience of navigating the unknown and living in the messy moments with Jesus before you know what will happen on the other side. She talks about God calling her to something bigger than what she feels and something more important than what people think about it.

Listen in to Chystal’s story and then ask the Lord if He will give you eyes to see and a heart to live in obedience to what God is calling you to.

You’ll also gain insight on:

The ways that God can use the pain from your past for you to love, serve and comfort others,
Why you can stop worrying so much about what other people think and focus instead on being obedient to what you understand God is calling you to, and
That it’s biblical to live in the messy moments and keep going, even when you cannot see the blessing to come.
