Welcome to the Together We Rise podcast! This is a place where every woman has a seat at the table – and where we affirm, equip, and amplify women's voices globally.

One of our hosts, Aubrey Sampson, sits down with Chrystal Evans Hurst this week to discuss how to release control of the future and to instead steward what God gives us. From her own experiences, Chrystal shares how unexpected seasons and circumstances in her life led to where she is now and the doors that God opened along the way.
