Hi, Jim Daly here. Today's cultured deeply needs help, but in times like these, the light of Christ can shine even brighter.

So be encouraged to share his light in this broken world. Listen to the refocus with Jim Daly podcast.

Without time limitations, I'll have deep heartfelt discussions with fascinating guests who will encourage you to share God's grace, truth and love.

Check out the podcast at refocuswithjimdaly.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

You may think it's too late, but if it's still in you, it's not. I think if we will just honor with what we know, even if it's just one step, the God continues to light our path with what he wants to teach us after.

That's Crystal Evans Hurst, and she's our guest today on Focus on the Family with your host, Focus President and author Jim Daly, and I'm John Fuller.

As a little girl, so many of you listening right now probably had big hopes and dreams for your life. You envisioned what you wanted to be when you grew up. You imagined what your spouse might be like, and maybe even the number of children you'd have when you got married.

And then one day, reality sets in, and those dreams no longer seem attainable. They're out of your reach. Those aspirations disappear with everyday circumstances and responsibilities.

And that heart of your inner child is swept aside as you grow up and take your place in the world with all the things that you do as an adult.

Today, we want to help you deal with those unfulfilled dreams and learn to rekindle your childhood aspirations by obeying God and making them most of everyday life.

The Apostle Paul put it best in Philippians 411 where he said, for I have learned in whatever situation I am in to be content.

And of course, that's a process, but Crystal Evans Hurst is here to help all of us get on that path today. She's been on that road of discontentment before, and she understands what you may be facing and her insights and advice are going to be worthwhile.

Crystal is a gifted writer, a speaker, a worship leader, and she is the eldest child of our good friend Dr. Tony Evans and his wife, Lois.

Crystal is married to Jesse. They have five children and Jim, she's also a grandmother as well.

Amazing. Crystal, welcome to focus.

Thank you so much for having me.

We love your dad. He's been on the program many, many times and your mom want a wonderful heritage that they have given you kids. I hope I'm not without pain. I'm sure.

So give us a little secret insight into Dr. Tony Evans being the daughter.

Well, you know, I always say, is it's very true and I'm not just saying this because it's the right thing to say it's true.

He was always dad first before he was Dr. Tony Evans and because we really didn't see a major difference between our minor difference between who he was at church and who he was at home.

He was always dad first and he always put the commitment that he had to our spiritual health as a family first.

I mean, it was very clear that he was interested not just in the church, but in the spiritual development.
