Podcast appearances and mentions of crystal wright

In this minisode, I reflect on my recent ski trip to Italy and my practice of identifying a “story of the day” throughout the journey. I share five key stories from the trip:Day 1 – The Injury & Perseverance: Our group, led by Crystal Wright, set out with enthusiasm, but early on, a skilled skier injured her knee. Despite the pain, she pushed through and skied a treacherous Russian road with limited snow.Day 2 – Birthday Couloir in Sparkles: While the injured skier took a rest day, three of us celebrated a friend's birthday by skiing a couloir—a narrow mountain pass—while wearing sparkles, embracing the joy of the moment.Day 3 – The Blister & Grit: One skier discovered a massive blister but continued skiing for two more days without complaints, showing incredible resilience.Day 4 – Facing Fear & Returning to Skiing: A friend of the injured skier debated leaving but ultimately overcame her hesitation and joined us on the journey to Lagazuoi, a stunning mountaintop hut.Day 5 – Reflection & Invitation: I encourage listeners to find their own “story of the day,” whether in travel, work, or personal life, and to reflect on the narratives they create for themselves.Reviews are vital to the success of this podcast!

Drs. Crystal Wright, Charles Emala and Vivianne Tawfik discuss the article “The Anesthesiology Physician-Scientist Pipeline: Current Status and Recommendations for Future Growth—An Initiative of the Anesthesia Research Council” published in the October 2023 issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia.

What if you could start over, equipped with everything you learnt this time around? What if you could turn things around and price your services to match your value? In this episode, we dive into important lessons from an expert as she guides us through what being in the industry taught her. Crystal Wright takes us through her remarkable journey, from her initial steps into the industry to becoming a mentor and advocate for makeup artists. Here are the key points covered in this episode: 1. The Journey Begins (2:30) Crystal's journey started as an agent for photographers, a career she entered after a chance meeting with a photographer at a party in LA. This pivotal moment led her to leave her job selling copiers for Xerox. She later authored the "Hair, Makeup, and Fashion Styling Career Guide," endorsed by industry luminary Bobbi Brown. Crystal began coaching artists, dedicating 90% of her time to individual mentoring. 2. Lessons Learned and Taking the Leap (7:54) Crystal recounts her transition back to corporate America, only to find her way back to her passion. A humorous anecdote reveals that she didn't even realize she was entitled to a 15% cut of her earnings at that time. She underscores the importance of advocating for oneself and the need to ask for what you deserve. 3. Building Your Business and Valuable Insights (19:07) Crystal delves into the nitty-gritty of freelancing as a makeup artist. She emphasizes the need for artists to manage their own work, invoicing, and inventory. Raising rates is key, and she shares her journey from a $75 hourly rate to confidently charging $125. Crystal stresses the importance of setting clear goals and believing in their achievement. Crystal's journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, self-advocacy, and recognizing your worth as an artist. Her insight into building a thriving makeup business and nurturing a community of artists is both enlightening and motivating. "Inspiration comes from realizing your potential.

Welcome to a new episode of "This One Thing" as Crystal Wright and Melina Puente share the inspiration penned by David in Psalm 62. His quiet expectation of God and an invitation to experience Him as our refuge is highlighted in verse 8, “O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.” We know we are called to trust God, and life circumstances create so many opportunities to experience Him as our refuge. Dive into God's Word with us to delight in the comfort of resting in our True Refuge as we let God's spirit release us from any false refuge that cannot meet our deepest needs.https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Enjoy our Unfettered Favorite Replay this week.Welcome to another week of "This One Thing" where Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright head back into the book of Mark to examine a faith encounter Jesus had with a desperate and rejected woman. Having experienced great sorrow and loss in every area of her life, she finds herself faced with a decision to either continue to hide in her pain or risk her very life in the hope of being healed. As Mark recounts the miracle Jesus performs on her behalf, he describes this woman's faith to reach for Him. In Mark 5:27 he writes, "When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind Him in the crowd and touched His cloak".Who or what are you placing your hope in today? Do you need a fresh encounter with the God who sees you and desires to free you from the pain and rejection you have experienced? Have you heard about Jesus but are unsure if He is powerful enough to heal the devastation in your life? Do you want to strengthen your trust in God's plans in your life, but find that you barely have the strength to reach out to Him in faith? Jesus understands the weariness you feel, and His encounter with this woman in Mark 5 is an intentional demonstration of His love for those who otherwise have no hope. We pray that through this story you are reminded of Jesus' power to not only heal you of your suffering; but also restore you to a place of honor as His dearly loved child!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Happy Easter! In this week's episode, Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright celebrate the gift of the resurrection by meditating on Peter's exhortation to the early church to remember that they have been given mercy, new life, and a living hope. In 1 Peter 1:3, he writes, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy, he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of hope for all believers because it demonstrates that He not only took on sin and the death we were all destined for but also overcame it! Peter understood that Christ's victory made it possible for all who put their faith in him, to experience a new birth into a hope more powerful than anything they might face in this world. Join Kerri and Crystal as they discuss the necessity of not simply acknowledging that the resurrection occurred but also allowing its power to be applied to every life circumstance. We pray that as you reflect on Easter, you will take time to ask yourself these questions: How is the resurrection of Jesus transforming your life? How can you rely more on the living hope you've been given instead of looking at your circumstances? What old things in you must be put to death as you experience the new birth of Salvation? God's heart is for the beauty and power of the resurrection to meet your every need as you keep your eyes on Him...He is your living hope!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Welcome to another episode of "This One Thing". This week Crystal Wright and Melina Puente discuss the wordplay Paul uses between wisdom and foolishness with regard to the message of the Cross and the power of the gospel in the lives of those who receive it.   In 1 Corinthians 1:18, he writes, “The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.”Paul understood that mankind's propensity to seek wisdom in their own understanding was true foolishness, leaving them without hope for redemption.  Instead, the very thing considered foolish by the world, the extraordinary message of Christ crucified and resurrected, awakened the power and wisdom of God in those who believed!  Have you been awakened to the message of the cross or are you still looking for your own answers to life's purpose and problems?  Do you look for opportunities to give the Gospel away? Do you find yourself with daily opportunities to live the message of the cross through humility, love, forgiveness, and compassion?  Does the message of the cross continue to radically change your life? We pray that as you are bombarded each day with the world's philosophies and wisdom you will hold fast to the message of the cross that alone has the power to save and offer lasting peace. https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

As we journey through our healing a lot of us find ourselves uncovering that a lot of our behaviors, responses, and negative patterns are survival or coping mechanisms we created from a place of trauma in our childhood age. We find ourselves still reacting, responding, and engaging in childlike behaviors spurned out of childhood trauma manifesting in our adult relationships with ourselves and others today. We've played out these behaviors so often they metastasize into every aspect of our lives that it becomes our identity. No longer able to recognize yourself as who you were prior to the trauma or what you may have become had the trauma never existed, you operate from a place of pain. And as we know too well, “hurt people, hurt people.” Without healing and nourishing your inner child you may find your individual growth and life journey stunted by repeat negative cycles and patterns. You're unable to break free to unlock your full potential. Childhood traumas have the ability of shaping a person's belief about themselves and the world, affecting their ability to form healthy relationships, regulate their emotions, and manage stress. At whatever age the trauma occurred, if you haven't taken the time to confront it you are still moving through the world at the age and place of your pain. Sometimes we must journey into our pasts to recognize and acknowledge a thing to be true, to understand it, and to validate the feelings associated with it. Once we have, we can begin to craft a change for our future. We have permission to envision something greater. You couldn't control where you came from or what happened to you. You can control who you become. This is an essential step to unlocking your potential, stepping into your power, and liberating yourself to acquire the joy you are so deserving of! Join me in conversation with my sister friend and author Crystal Wright Adams in this week's episode 5, Healing from Within, wherever you listen to your podcasts. To obtain Crystal's book Perversion of Love visit the following address: Perversion of LoveHer upcoming book The Parent Trap is set to have a tentative release date this upcoming May 2023. Let's not miss a chance to connect as women and let it be beautiful! Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visionaryjewelsllc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/visionaryjewelsllc Subscribe with your email to be alerted when a new episode is released. Website: http://visionaryjewelsllc.com Email: podcast@visionaryjewelsllc.com Make sure to Follow, Like, and Subscribe on your podcast platform of choice. Please take the time to rate and review Visionary Jewels Podcast wherever you listen in!

Welcome to another week of “This One Thing”. This week Crystal Wright reflects on a recurring theme she has observed over the last 20 years working with trauma survivors regarding the limits of human coping behaviors and the need for a Savior who is able to rescue, protect, and provide. Finding hope and answers in Ezekiel 34, she encourages listeners to exchange their best efforts to deal with life's troubles in their own strength and instead receive the promised help, protection, healing, and provision God designs to give to each one of us. Are you ready to see God prepare a way for you? Are you worn out from the years spent trying to save and rescue yourself?  Are you curious to experience healing in all the places where you've tried to numb yourself from the pain?  God is inviting you to trust that He has the plan to rescue you and that He alone has everything you need for healing, rest, and belonging.  Join us as we choose to receive the provision, protection, comfort, and direction only Jesus can provide for us as our Good Shepherd when we are ready to be rescued. https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Welcome to another episode of "This One Thing." This week Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright discuss Jesus' challenge in Matthew 9:13 which clearly defines and reiterates what matters most to the God we serve. “Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.' For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”Do you know the true meaning of mercy? Are you extending it to others or does your relationship with God reflect a heart that prioritizes performance instead? Our propensity to forget how much we need Jesus to live in the truth of this verse is highlighted when we ask ourselves, “What do I need Jesus for today?” Join Kerri and Crystal as they share the power found in our covenant relationship with God, reminding us that God wants our hearts more than our sacrifices. Any compassion, kindness, or love we demonstrate is mercy in motion, born out of the mercy we have first received from Him!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Welcome to another week of "This One Thing" as Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright dive into Isaiah 58 and discuss the heart of God and how we can be assured of His promises to guide and care for us as we stay in step with His purposes in this world.   To pursue who God really is and what He cares about allows us to bear witness to the promises found in verse 11, “The LORD will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.”What are your spiritual priorities heading into 2023? How do they line up with God's heart? Do you struggle to accept that God's priorities may differ from your understanding of what's important? Speaking on behalf of God, Isaiah points out the reality of our failed attempts at thinking we know how to please and pursue God through our religious traditions and illuminates the power found in desiring His heart to love and serve others. Join us today as we share what God reveals as important to Him, and how our humble service towards those in need is connected to God's assurance of care for us. https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Thank you for joining us as we celebrate "This One Thing" Podcast's 2nd anniversary! It is with great joy that we reflect on all God has done by replaying our very first episode. We are so grateful for all the feedback, blessings, and hope-filled stories so many of you have shared with us. We love digging into the Scriptures with you every week, sharing with you the power of God's Word! Next week we'll resume our regular podcast schedule with a brand-new episode from Kerri Kenyon Dern.***Join Kerri and guest Crystal Wright in this introductory episode as they unpack Psalm 27:4 which states, "THIS ONE THING I ask of the LORD—the thing I seek most—is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, delighting in the LORD's perfections and meditating in his Temple.” You'll be spiritually strengthened and encouraged by this discussion as we clarify why this verse serves as the foundation of this weekly podcast and how we can choose, like King David, to make our relationship with the Lord the ONE THING we seek, desire, and pursue above all else. Together, we'll choose to keep Him as our focus, allowing us to thrive in joy and victory, regardless of the challenges we face in this New Year!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Welcome back to another episode of "This One Thing." This week Melina Puente and Crystal Wright discuss the challenges of remembering that our life circumstances must not dictate our life purpose as believers to constantly pursue God's glory. Paul and Silas demonstrated what this truth means from a prison cell in Acts 16:25, “Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God and the other prisoners were listening.”Let's be honest, how many times do we find ourselves singing when life circumstances feel entirely out of control? Do you try to find a solution in your own strength? As believers and followers of Jesus Christ, our lives might feel like a mystery sometimes. But even in the mysteries surrounding our lives there is one purpose; to bring God glory. Our lives are a witness to the power, love, and grace available to us 24/7 through the Holy Spirit. Join us today as we remember that we have a God who wants to rescue us and who is strengthening our faith as we surrender to Him through our prayers and songs.https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Happy New Year and thank you for listening to a new episode of “This One Thing” with Crystal Wright and Melina Puente who share the hope and urgency in Jesus' words to put their faith in Him.  John 12:35 says, “Jesus replied, “My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going.”Do you feel the weight of the Gospel in your daily walk?  Do you boldly encourage others or feel the urgency to share the powerful truth of the Gospel?  Do you speak the Gospel over yourself daily to pursue a pure heart? Out of His great love for us, God has always made it clear that an essential choice between life and death lies before each one of us. Choosing life is to receive the love and forgiveness of God, and live a new life of obedience in response to His salvation.  Jesus presented this same choice in the last week of His earthly life, and that same invitation is given to us today; salvation from darkness by responding to Him in faith and obedience. We pray that as you enter into 2023 you will experience freedom from the darkness as you choose to walk in the light.https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Merry Christmas! We will resume with new episodes of "This One Thing" in the New Year. You can listen and enjoy our Holiday Replays on the website at https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast, and on Youtube at https://youtu.be/zeCc5njw8wU.Thank you for joining us again this week for "This One Thing".  In the final episode of 2021, Kerri Kenyon Dern and her guest Crystal Wright reflect together upon the Messianic promise spoken by the prophet Isaiah 700 years before the birth of Christ.  Isaiah 9:6 says, "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."Isaiah spoke the promise of a rescuer into a world much like ours; broken, afraid, distressed and in darkness.  As all of humanity cries out for a savior, God has answered our desperation by revealing His plan of salvation through the power of His Names.  As you move into the Christmas season, Kerri and Crystal invite you to join them in celebrating the arrival of the son who was promised to each of us, Jesus Christ, God's Greatest Gift. We pray that together we may know His power to heal and transform every area of our lives as we experience Him as the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Thank you for joining us for “This One Thing”. This week Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright help prepare our hearts for advent by focusing on the life-giving light found solely in Jesus Christ. In this gospel account of Christ, the apostle John masterfully lays out a rich theology connecting Jesus directly to the eternal “Logos” who is the source of life; the only one who brings light into spiritual darkness. John 1:5 states, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”Despite the reality of darkness being present in our world, we have been given the assurance of spiritual life and victory through the light of Jesus. We are protected from death and darkness in His presence because He IS life and light. As you celebrate the arrival of God's promised Son this advent season, we pray that you daily experience the Light that overcomes the darkness. Put your complete trust in Jesus and be renewed through His Word. He is the light of your life!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Welcome to episode 63 of “This One Thing” with Melina Puente and Crystal Wright. This week Melina and Crystal discuss the importance of remembering God's faithful response to the humble prayers of His people desperate for His help. Like us today, the Israelites wavered between times of trusting obedience in the LORD and arrogant self-will which resulted in their demise. On the heels of a great victory over the Philistines, Samuel captures the importance of remembering God's faithfulness in 1 Samuel 7:12, “Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”Are you struggling today to remember all the times the LORD has delivered you from your troubles? Are you in a place of rebellion, unsure if God is willing to hear your prayers? Are you desperate for assurance that God is indeed concerned for your well-being? Take heart. God is faithful and eager to show you His love and protection as you choose humble obedience. It is never too late to surrender and call out to Him. We pray that as you witness God's faithfulness in your life you will create “Ebenezer Reminders” of His love, forgiveness, and redemption that always point your heart back to Him. https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Thank you for joining us for "This One Thing". This week Melina Puente and Crystal Wright discuss the journey toward contentment and gratitude that each follower of Jesus makes as they learn to identify with the life of Christ in all circumstances.  Paul articulates his own personal journey in the letter he writes from prison to his friends in the Philippian church who are also experiencing persecution as he writes these words in Philippians 4:12, "I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."What is this secret to being content no matter our life circumstances? Melina and Crystal discuss that at the heart of this mystery is a focus on entering into the life and story of Jesus himself.  Christ himself gave up heaven, lived alongside humanity, humbled himself, suffered, died, and was resurrected to glory. All those who put their trust in Him are now invited into seeing their own lives as a lived expression of the Jesus story, and the immeasurable contentment and gratitude formed through being a part of the life and love given through Christ. We pray that as you continue to face life's circumstances, both the blessings and the hardships, what is formed in you is increased faith in God's love and provision for you, and the treasure of being content in Christ.https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Welcome to another episode of "This One Thing." This week Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright reflect on the importance of having a faith that is firmly rooted in gratitude and thanksgiving. Despite beatings, imprisonment, and threats against their very lives, Paul encouraged one of the very first Christian churches to never stop choosing to be thankful.  In 1 Thessalonians 5:18 he writes these words that still challenge followers of Jesus today, "Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."How do we choose gratitude when we are faced with situations that are disappointing, painful, or uncertain? Is it even possible to be genuinely thankful and still live in the reality that life often brings us challenges we'd rather avoid? Kerri and Crystal wrestle through these questions and the convicting truth that sincere gratitude is always rooted in something deeper than life's circumstances. Just as the persecuted believers two thousand years ago demonstrated, gratitude is not only possible, it is the primary weapon we have to battle against those things that seek to destroy our faith. Gratefulness is the outpouring of a heart overwhelmed by Christ's sacrificial love, and the expression of a faith that believes God can be trusted to fulfill his promises and purposes in our lives.

Welcome to another week of "This One Thing" as Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright continue in the book of Mark. In this episode, they discuss the question, “What's rest?". Together, they reflect on the disciples' return from ministry and Jesus' invitation to “get away” and “rest awhile” in Mark 6:31; "Then Jesus said, 'Let's go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.' He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn't even have time to eat."In the midst of daily life, with so many responsibilities to family, friends, work, and ministry, you may feel like rest eludes you. It's time to embrace God's Word and allow the Holy Spirit to help you reframe the definition of rest. Dive into Jesus' invitation with us and choose to truly abide in Him, trusting He is our only source of peace and spiritual rest!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Welcome back to a new episode of “This One Thing” where each week we are challenged to look at a truth from God's word and choose to apply it to our lives. This week Melina Puente and Crystal Wright focus on the authority and mercy of Jesus to restore a man tormented by demon possession.  In the aftermath of this miracle, the man begs to go with Jesus as one of his followers but is given other instructions instead in Mark 5:19,  But Jesus said, “No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.” When the mercy of Jesus shows up and transforms our lives, we often find ourselves eagerly looking for ways to respond with our whole hearts and lives. Although the specifics of how this plays out in each Christian life may vary, Jesus gives each of his followers an important assignment, "tell them everything I have done." Every transformed heart has the opportunity to testify of God's healing, mercy, power, and redemption. What's your salvation story? How has God redeemed you from pain and torment? Do you trust that God can use your testimony wherever you are living, working, and serving? God desires to use the power of what He has done in your life to show others the way to freedom.https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

"This One Thing" is excited to welcome you back this fall as we resume our commitment to studying together and applying God's word to our daily lives. Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright start off the new series in the gospels, looking at the life of Jesus and His response to the fears and suffering of those around Him. In Mark chapter 4, the disciples find themselves afraid for their lives as they are caught in a storm they are unable to handle. Hearing their desperate cries, Jesus silences the storm and turns His attention to His fearful followers. "Then He asked them, 'Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?'" (Mark 4:40).Jesus' decision to enter into this storm with His disciples was not an accident, but instead a brilliant opportunity to help them see that their fear was rooted in not yet understanding who He really was and how much He loved them.  So, why are you so afraid? Just like with His disciples, God continues to intentionally orchestrate the circumstances and storms of your life to cause you to come face to face with your need to really know and experience Him. The storms you are facing are of immeasurable worth because they allow all fears and false beliefs to be revealed, so that God can remove them and replace them with a deeper understanding of His great love and power. Knowing this, you can choose faith over fear in the midst of the storms that take you to the end of yourself, allowing you to experience mercy, grace, power, and love from the only Savior powerful enough to rescue you!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Thank you for joining us for “This One Thing”. This week Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright look at the powerful and hope-filled words of Jesus in His last message to His followers. Knowing that His death was near, He comforts them in John 16:33 by saying, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”Kerri and Crystal share transparently as they reflect on Jesus' message of peace in the midst of trials; a message for his disciples and for all of us as believers. Join us as they discuss the truth found in the invitation to intimacy with Jesus through sorrow and hardships, and the choice to experience the peace Jesus has made available for us. Do you recognize Jesus' invitation into peace in your own life? Have you received His invitation to use your pain and sorrow as a catalyst for peace? Is your heart fixated on your personal experiences with pain and suffering or the promise given to you that Jesus has already overcome? The joy of receiving God's peace allows us to overcome every trial and difficulty in this world. And through the Holy Spirit, knowing Jesus gives us the strength we need to love others through our trials and sorrows. Take Heart!We will resume with new episodes of "This One Thing" this fall.

Welcome to episode 50 of "This One Thing" where we are challenged to apply God's truth to our daily lives. This week Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright go back into Psalm 121 to reflect upon God's perfect protection of His people as they journey through life.  Psalm 121:8 says, " The LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore."  God has made a promise to watch over and protect His children in every season of our lives.  But God's protection does not always look the way we imagined it should, leaving us confused, defensive, and angry.  You may find yourself doubting and even fighting against God's protection because you can't make sense of the circumstances you find yourself in.  Psalm 121:8 is a reminder that despite your uncertainty or troubled heart, God is faithfully watching over you just as He has faithfully watched over every generation.  Kerri and Crystal share how this verse has challenged them to submit each circumstance of their lives to God, believing that He is protecting the plans He has for them and is using their unique journeys to bring them into greater intimacy with Him.  Their prayer is that you would receive God's loving invitation to trust Him with every detail of your life and grow in your confidence in His perfect protection.  https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Welcome to another new episode of “This One Thing” with Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright. Our verse this week centers on God's promise to provide a lasting, perfect peace to His people. Isaiah 26:3 says, “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!”Despite this chaotic world we live in and our own troubling doubts, God has given His unbreakable Word that He will provide and sustain us with His peace. Throughout all of human history, God has faithfully upheld this promise, evidenced in the prophesied and fulfilled plan of redemption found in His son, Jesus Christ. But how do we live victoriously in this promise? To answer this question, Kerri and Crystal discuss the connection Isaiah makes between receiving God's gift of peace, what we fix our thoughts on, and ultimately where we place our deepest trust. Together, they encourage each of us to wrestle honestly with our thoughts and beliefs, evaluating everything in light of God's truth. Join us as we choose to put our complete trust in the only Savior capable of providing peace, peace!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Welcome back to a new episode of “This One Thing.” This week Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright examine the faithfulness of God proclaimed by the prophet Isaiah, and discuss the hope that comes from putting our trust in Him.  Isaiah 25:9 says, “In that day they will say, ‘Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.'”Trusting and waiting on the LORD is an act of faith that every follower of the Most High God must face. But how do we choose to be unwavering in our trust when everything in our world comes against the commitment we have made to wait and hope in God's Salvation? Isaiah reminds us that our current confidence in the faithfulness of God comes through remembering what he has done in the past and looking ahead to the glorious future awaiting us. God has not failed us in the past, He will not abandon us in the present, and He has a perfect plan for our future. Kerri and Crystal share how they chose to apply this truth in their lives as they face suffering and spiritual needs the world has no answer for. Because of God's perfect faithfulness, they invite you to put your hopeful trust in the only Savior who will never disappoint!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

In the midst of uncertain times, Kerri invites you to join her in holding fast to the bold promise God made to His people in Isaiah 32:18: “My people will live in safety, quietly at home. They will be at rest.”Does your heart long for peace and rest but yet struggle to believe God is making good on His promise? When opposition and disaster find themselves at your doorstep, are you tempted to construct your own security or look to the world for answers? Is peace even possible in the midst of this troubled world?

We're replaying a few of our favorite episodes this month. Praying this blesses you today as you listen (again)!Thank you for joining us for "This One Thing." This week Melina Puente and Crystal Wright reflect on God's declaration to his people in the book of Haggai to remain strong and obedient in the face of challenges and discouragement. Haggai 2:4 states, "But now be strong, Zerubbabel,' declares the Lord. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,' declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with you,' declares the Lord Almighty."Are you struggling with unmet expectations in your desire to be obedient to what God has called you to do? Do you find yourself caught in a tug of war between your own desires for your life and wanting to be aligned to God's will?  Are you just plain worn out and not sure you have the strength to continue? God sees you! He knows you need His strength and He promises you His faithful presence every step of the way. Join us in reclaiming the honor we have as God's children to participate in the work He is doing to build His kingdom, and be empowered by the strength and joy that comes from knowing He is with you! https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Unfettered Favorite Replay Today!This week on "This One Thing" Crystal Wright joins Kerri Kenyon-Dern once again to further unpack Isaiah 40.

Do you need to be reminded of God's great intention and care for you? Join us as we choose to receive the provision, protection, comfort and direction only Jesus can provide for us as our Sovereign Shepherd.

Welcome to Lavish Hope, Season 3! In this first episode, we dive deep into what resilience and hope look like when life throws a curveball and things don’t turn out as expected.

Through her creative gifting both performing and visual arts, she is able to connect with the community and navigate both personal and societal challenges.

Excited to kick off this new season of Lavish Hope, together.

Welcome back to a new episode of "This One Thing." This week Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright discuss an important question Paul posed to the early followers of Jesus. In Galatians 5:7 he asks, "You were running the race so well. Who has held you back from following the truth?"Paul's straightforward question is a startling reminder that although we have experienced the grace of Jesus, we are not exempt from getting sidetracked from the truth. Do you find yourself feeling restrained or held back from living fully in the promised grace and freedom of Jesus? Do you struggle with being influenced by the voice of others more than the Word of God? If this describes you, please know that God's grace is ready to meet you right where you are; helping you to refocus your eyes on Jesus and your ears on the truth of His Word. Our prayer is that through the power of the Holy Spirit, your 2022 will be a race well run!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Welcome back to another week of “This One Thing". In today's episode, Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright continue for a second week in the book of Galatians, diving deeper into Paul's teaching on choosing Jesus over the Old Testament law. In Galatians 2:21 he writes, “I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”As believers, we are called to be uncompromising in the message that Christ's death and resurrection alone have the power to bring us salvation. As Paul passionately reminds us, to add or subtract anything from this grace we've received is to set aside and betray the sacrifice of Jesus. Kerri and Crystal invite you to join them in letting go of the things in our lives that we use as replacements for the forgiveness and acceptance that can only be found in Jesus. We pray that in the coming year we will hold fast to the grace we have been given, living in the freedom and forgiveness found only through the cross of Christ!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Happy New Year and thank you for joining us for this year's first episode of “This One Thing.” Kerri Kenyon Dern and her guest Crystal Wright kick-off 2022 by meditating on the apostle Paul's passionate commitment to choose God's revealed truth over the approval of any human being. In Galatians 1:10 he writes, “Obviously, I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's servant.”Do you struggle with people-pleasing and compromising the truth? Do you find yourself feeling pressured to conform to the wishes, opinions, or expectations of others even when they are contradictory to the grace and freedom offered in Christ Jesus? Kerri and Crystal invite you to join them in an honest discussion about the real temptation believers face to seek the approval of man over devotion to Christ and His word. Learning from Paul's own story of redemption, we are challenged to start this New Year by examining ourselves, allowing the Holy Spirit to purge us of pleasing people, and recommitting to the clear message of grace and truth found only through Jesus Christ!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

This week's episode of "This One Thing" focuses on the proclamation of Isaiah 40:8 which states, "The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever." Kerri Kenyon Dern and her guest Crystal Wright wrestle through the implications of the simple but powerful truth that everything in this life is temporary, except the eternal Word of God.  Life has a way of reminding us that nothing on this earth lasts. We experience loss, change, death, and disappointments daily. We feel the frailty of our own abilities and understanding. Where do we turn for comfort and answers in the face of life's instability and uncertainty? Kerri invites you to join with her in going directly to the source of God's revelation to us, His word. It is there we find safety in His steadfast love and the direction we need to live as His children in an ever-changing, often chaotic world! https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

This week on "This One Thing" you are invited to meditate on the foundation of your relationship with God: FAITH. Join Kerri Kenyon Dern and guest Crystal Wright as they discuss Hebrews 11:6 which proclaims, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."Life presents us with impossible challenges that cause us to wrestle with what we truly put our faith in. How do we hold fast to faith when we cannot see answers to the troubles we face? How do we fight the temptation to believe God is withholding or punishing us when suffering comes our way? This week's verse challenges us to reflect upon what it means to walk out a sincere faith, and encourages us with the unchanging promise that God does reward the faithfulness of those who trust in Him.https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

Crystal Wright joins Kerri for a second week in 1 Peter. Together they share how our verse of the week has personally impacted and challenged them to live with eternity in view. "For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God."Do you struggle in your attempts to consistently read God's Word? Do you wonder what God's priorities are for you? Are you ever at a loss, wondering what to say to others who are hurting, in pain or suffering?

Only His Word will last forever and only His Word will have an eternal impact on you and every life you influence!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

"You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart."Do you have someone in your life you find difficult to love? Are you ever frustrated in your relationships, not knowing how to love others unconditionally? Have you ever been tempted to protect yourself instead of loving fearlessly?

Be encouraged by this powerful passage that also serves as a daily challenge for us to focus on who He is instead of being caught up in the tangible, temporary things of this world. Do you need to be reminded of God's supreme authority over everything you're experiencing?

Together we'll choose to prioritize a deeper understanding of who God is; His kindness, justice and righteousness. As Jeremiah urges us, let's boast in Him alone!https://www.fetterfree.org/podcast

How To Be Anti-Racist Julian Newman, founder of Culture Creative, and Crystal Wright, Area Director for Young Life, sit down and share their own journeys and the ways that racism has affected them. They share the importance of having hard conversations, being OK with stumbling as we grow, and taking a back seat as we learn from others. Plus we talk about what it means to "do the work," next steps that we can take to move forward, and why it starts with nice, well-intentioned, Christian folks like you and me taking a stand and owning our words.  You do not want to miss this episode.  YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS IT.

Go out and ski what looks fun to you, and push yourself. Go through the finish line and have fun-Crystal Wright What do barrel racing and big mountain skiing have in common-in this week's episode I ask Wyoming native Crystal Wright what the commonalities between horses and big mountain ski lines. Crystal shares her thoughts about her athletic careers as well as what it's like to start your own business, a non-profit, and running women's ski camps. Thanks for listening!   Bio: I was born in Jackson Hole Wyoming in 1982, my parents had moved to Jackson to be ski bums in the 70’s and have resided there ever since. I remember skiing on wooden skis down my driveway when I was 2 years old. When I was five years old my family took a managing position at Big Sandy Ranch in Pinedale, WY right at the base of the Wind River Mountain range. The ranch was 2 hours from Jackson, 50 miles from the closest town and had no electricity. So I would spend my summers on a ranch and my winters in Jackson, I felt very lucky to live in two such beautiful places. I started showing horses, barrel racing and roping when I was nine years old, that is how I would spend my summers. Having the Wind River and Teton mountain ranges in my back yard has also opened me up to the world of rock climbing and mountain biking which I love almost as much as skiing. I started ski racing with the Jackson Hole Ski Club when I was nine and worked my way up the ranks of ski racing. I became a member of the Western Region Elite Ski Team when I was 15 and later traveled with U.S. Ski Team through Europe and South America until I was 20 years old. In 2002 I was chosen to forerun the Women’s Olympic downhill in Snowbasin Utah and was the first person to ski the course. It was one of the best experiences of my life being able to compete with the best women skiers in the world. I also had many top 5 results in various downhill Nor-Ams and raced Europa Cup downhills. I then went on to college where I had to transfer my talent to the technical events and raced NCAA skiing at Montana State University. I also was a member of the Rodeo team as well, so I traveled much during the fall and winter months of college. During my racing career I never lost my love for freeskiing and skiing  the Jackson Hole backcountry. I couldn’t wait until my racing career was over and I would be able to compete and ski on the big mountain circuit. Through all my years of racing the one thing that kept me competing at such a high level for so long was being able to go ski powder and steeps with my friends and family. After spending 9 years competing on the Freeskiing and Freeride World Tours I have now retired from following the tour. I won the Freeskiing World  tour in 2009 and 2012 and was on the podium 22 times. I am still pushing myself in the skiing through skiing more in the mountains and doing a competition or two every season. I own my own gym Wright Training www.jhwrighttraining.com that works with bringing people back from injury and getting people to perform at their best in the mountains. I cofounded the Jackson Hole Babe Force www.jhbabeforce.com in 2012 which brings ladies together to share their passions in the mountains and push themselves out of their comfort zones. I am also starting to coach women’s camps in Jackson Hole and had my first annual women’s camp in Chamonix, France last year 2015!

The Verdict is in...Not Guilty.    According to a newsletter by the Children's Defense Fund, Black children and teens were 17 times more likely to die from a gun homicide than White children and teens in 2010. Since 1963, 59,265 Black children and teens have been killed by guns -- more than 17 times the recorded lynchings of Black people of all ages in America between 1882 and 1968.   An article by Crystal Wright in The Guardian states, "Startling statistics reveal that between 1980-2008, African-Americans were six times more likely than whites to be victims of gun violence and seven times more likely to kill with guns than whites, according to the Justice Department. African-Americans represent a mere 13% of the US population yet more than 50% of federal prisoners are black. You can claim racial bias in the judicial system, but that doesn't explain all of it.   Why aren't so-called black leaders outraged and marching over therecent shooting rampage in Chicago. During the 4 July holiday weekend, including the Wednesday leading up to it, 62 people were wounded by gun violence in Chicago and 12 others killed. The holiday shooting spree raised Chicago's homicide tally to 200 for the year. Last year about 500 people were killed, and most of those killing and being killed in Chicago are black. According to the Chicago Tribune, "blacks make up about 33% of the city's population, they accounted for nearly 78% of the homicide victims through the first six months of 2012".   Who is setting the value standard for Black Life in America?
