Transformative Teaching
Crystal has been teaching and leading women’s Bible studies for over 25 years. She’s thorough in her commitment of sound doctrinal truths and never ending curiosity about God and His word. Crystal is a teacher and mentor who relies heavily on God’s word for direction and insight. Her Bible workbooks speak clearly for the new convert as well as the mature believer in Jesus Christ.

Passion to Purpose
God brought me from the pit of “I got nothing” to “I have everything I need in Christ”. It was not an overnight transformation. However, through the faithfulness of our God in fulfilling and keeping His promises; I made it through every difficult season with joy and peace. My passion is guiding women of faith who are looking for hope in the despair of our culture, seeking peace within while dealing with the outside chaos, and longing for the experience of God in their season of life.
My Mission
I believe every woman deserves a safe space to grow in faith, to discover the truths of God’s word and to walk in confidence that God will finish what He started in them. (Philippians 1:6)
A Repairer of the Breach
(Isaiah 58:12)
I’m an empty nester who jumped out of the nest to pursue God’s calling in my season. This wasn’t my original plan as my first one was to stay married until death do us part. Instead, after over two decades of marriage as a stay-at-home mom, I became a single mom and sole provider for my five children. I joined the corporate world, put my five kids through school, and retired after ten years to pursue full-time ministry of writing, speaking, and teaching. Yet my greatest achievement (through the grace of God) has been in the raising and homeschooling of five young, successful, and independent adults who love God.
With over 25 years experience as a faith-based writer, editor, speaker, and teacher, my specific focus has been empowering women with the knowledge of God’s word and how to apply to their daily lives. As a published author, engaging speaker, and Bible teacher, my highest goal is communicating God’s truth in a clear and compelling way that moves women towards intentional action.
Nothing to Fear *** Nothing to Lose *** Nothing to Prove *** For God is with Us ***
Passionate & Purposeful Speaking
When Crystal speaks, she removes the mask of pretense and reveals an authenticity that stirs people to discover their core desire of purposeful living and passionate outcomes. She pulls no punches in her delivery to compel through personal stories, cultural realities, and Biblical truths.
Crystal has been speaking at faith-based, business, and women’s events for over 25 years. She is an engaging speaker who keeps it real with her sense of humor and practical applications of managing life. Crystal’s love for God and people energizes her to connect in a deeper level with compassion and meeting them where they are in life.
Crystal is gifted in seeking, listening to, and sharing God’s heart for His people. Each time Crystal spoke at our single moms’ ministry, human-erected walls melted in the presence of God’s loving wisdom. Her transparency is relatable and her humor invitational. God did a great work when He created Crystal Duncan.

When I think of Crystal...she is a light to this world--a lamp on the hill. Her light shines bright for all to see. In the same way that light has encouraged me to do the same. I can say with absolute certainty, I would not be where I am today in my faith walk had it not been for Crystal’s teaching and her light which guided me.

Crystal Duncan is one of my absolute favorite editors, writers, and people! She's excellent at what she does and very personable, dependable, and creative. For more than 20 years, I've had the privilege of assigning Crystal curriculum writing and editing without needing to worry about it getting done well, and I've proudly and easily recommended her for other work often.
