Erica Campbell welcomed best-selling author and speaker Crystal Evans Hurst to Get Up Mornings for an uplifting conversation about self-discovery and her latest devotional, 100 Days to Discovering the Gift of You. Hurst shared that the devotional was inspired by a chapter from a previous book that resonated deeply with readers, leading to ongoing questions about how to recognize and embrace one’s purpose. She explained that the book is based on the “GAIN” framework—gifts, abilities, interests, and nature—which helps individuals reflect on what God has already placed within them. According to Hurst, by identifying these key elements, people can move forward with intention and confidence in their unique calling.

During the discussion, Campbell brought up the challenge of discovering one’s own gifts in a family full of talent. Hurst admitted that even her children have struggled with this, feeling like they didn’t measure up. She reminded them, and listeners, that comparison is one of the biggest obstacles to self-discovery, especially in the age of social media. “It’s so easy to look at others and feel like what you have isn’t enough,” she said. “But instead of focusing on what others are doing, ask yourself: ‘What has God placed in my hands?’” She referenced the biblical story of Moses, highlighting how God used something as simple as a staff in his hand to perform miracles.

For those just beginning their self-discovery journey, Hurst suggested a practical approach: ask people who know you well to describe your natural strengths, personality, and passions. “When you hear the same things from different people, you’ll start to recognize patterns,” she explained. She encouraged listeners to take notes—whether in a journal, on a legal pad, or in their phone—because writing things down helps bring clarity and direction.
