Summary
In today’s episode of Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson sit down with Krystal Parker, a former Fortune 200 executive with over 25 years of leadership experience. From college dropout to running 47 gas companies by age 34, Krystal's journey is one of high achievement and profound transformation. Despite her professional success, she struggled as a “Sunday Christian,” finding her identity in power and wealth. It was only through a series of personal failures, including a second divorce, that she surrendered fully to Jesus and discovered true healing.
Krystal’s story is a powerful testament to God’s grace and redemption. Now, as president of the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce and founder of Intent & Impact, she’s committed to using her work as worship and advocating for faith-driven change in the marketplace. She shares insights on overcoming overwork, reprioritizing life, and the miraculous moments that affirmed her faith, like the unexpected success of her Expo event. Tune in to hear how Krystal's path from brokenness to becoming a marketplace missionary can inspire us all to embrace faith in every aspect of life.
