Ep. 4.8 : The Life You Long For with Christy Nockels

Have you ever had a conversation with someone who inspired you to do the very thing that deep down you knew God was calling you to do? 

That happened to me with today’s conversation with Christy Nockels. 

She gave the most grace-filled, permission-giving reminder of the need for rest in our lives. As parents, that’s something that’s so easily neglected in the busyness of raising kids. 

Christy is a singer, songwriter, author, and host of the podcast Glorious in the Mundane. She shares with us how God taught her to begin living from a heart of rest during a season where he called her to leave a busy touring schedule to stay home with her family. 

In the quiet moments, God taught Christy to seek him in the deep places she had been neglecting so that she might live from the inside out instead of the outside in. (So convicting, but soooo good.) 

I walked away with so many truths for my own life, but I think these will resonate with all of us: 

• We need rest.
• Rest comes from surrendering to our creator. 
• Our tendency to “hustle” prevents God’s supernatural work in our lives.
• It’s critical we learn to guard our time in order to prioritize physical and spiritual rest. 
• Living from the inside out comes from resting in our Savior. 

Join me today for a powerful conversation on rest. 

I have a feeling you’re going to walk away with the encouragement you didn’t know you needed.
