ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Krystal Craven, a California Christian artist and songwriter, joins Frances Hammond for an honest conversation about the detours that changed her life—childhood sexual abuse, chronic illness, partial paralysis, and the long work of healing. Krystal shares how facing the truth, renewing her mind in God’s Word, and writing music in the middle of pain helped her rediscover her voice, strengthen her faith, and walk in purpose.
Together, Frances and Krystal talk about making room for difficult emotions, trusting God through uncertainty, music as ministry, and the reminder that healing is not linear—but God’s purpose cannot be detoured.
Content note: This episode includes discussion of childhood sexual abuse, trauma, and chronic illness.
