Crystal Stine

Hi, it’s nice to meet you!

I’m Crystal, a small town girl on the East Coast who loves encouraging women to live the best life God has designed for them. A writer for more than decade, I am the author of three self-published books and a Bible study called Work Hard, Rest Well. My first book, Holy Hustle: Embracing a Work-Hard, Rest-Well Life (Harvest House) came out in 2018 and my second book, Quieting the Shout of Should: How a Life of Less Can Lead to More released October 2020. My newest project, “You Got This!: 100 Faith-Strengthening Devotions for Middle Schoolers” comes out June 2, 2026. From my experiences in motherhood, years of corporate life, work in ministry, or whatever new stage God has me in, I’m passionate about creating resources that help people grow in their faith, connect in meaningful community, and step with confidence into the calling God has placed on their lives.

Crystal

When I submitted the proposal for "You Got This" I When I submitted the proposal for "You Got This" I thought it would be called "Start Strong." I had this vision of a devotional for 6th graders that they would start on the first day of middle school. Something they would keep with them throughout the year when they needed encouragement and truth. I already knew I would finish the devotional with a book on finishing strong, because it's not just how we start something, but the endurance, consistency, and resilience it takes to finish well. When the team at @ourdailybread asked if I would write it for ALL middle schoolers, girls and boys, grades 6-8, I said "yes." And when they suggested "You Got This" for the title, I was all in. Mostly because I just really wanted to write this book 😂 but because I absolutely trusted that they knew what they were talking about.

Sometimes finishing strong means holding those first plans loosely so God can do more than we could ever ask or imagine. 

And now "You Got This" comes out in 2 weeks and I'm praying it brings encouragement and hope to the middle schoolers in your life. And parents? One day later my daughter will be DONE with middle school 🎉 We did it. You can, too. And if you happen to read this devo with your student for some extra encouragement, I pray God would meet you on the pages in a special way.

I was reminded recently that the best place to be I was reminded recently that the best place to be as is one step behind God. Why? Because we aren't rushing ahead of Him, planning things on our own. And we aren't lagging behind or going off course, carving our own path or ignoring His guidance. We can walk confidently when we walk close to God, because He knows the way and He will always be there.
