Glorious in the Mundane Podcast with Christy Nockels

Season 9 Episode 10 // The Purest Place May 30, 2024

Season 9 has been such a joy! Thank you so much for coming alongside me in celebrating my new album “Captivate Us: Live from Keeper’s Branch.” I have so loved sharing the stories and seasons behind these songs and it’s been good for my heart to remember God’s faithfulness, all through the years!
Today we will come around the song The Purest Place and what it looks like to actively, even fiercely, guard the purity of our hearts…so that the Kingdom of God might advance in us, and through us!
I'll talk to you soon!

Season 9 Episode 9 // A Mighty Fortress May 16, 2024

It has been such a joy to spend this spring with you on the podcast, as we’ve come around my new album, “Captivate Us; Live from Keeper’s Branch!” I’ve loved remembering the stories and truths behind these songs! And today, we’ll come around one that Nathan and I wrote as a genuine prayer for our family during an election year!

“A Mighty Fortress” has been an anthem for our family in learning to set our eyes on Jesus, especially when the distractions and confusion set in! I hope you’ll join me as we look to God together today…our Hope, our Stronghold our Fortress! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 9 Episode 8 // Captivate Us May 09, 2024

In celebration of the full ALBUM RELEASE “Captivate Us” (available tomorrow, everywhere you listen to music!) we are going to come around this tried and true song that still carries so much heart and history in my story! This song is very descriptive of who Jesus is, even describing His face, His eyes, His hands, His loving arms—and though we don’t see Him now in the physical sense—I wonder if it helps prepare us for the day that we will see Him face to face! This song is really a “glorious in the mundane” kind of prayer, that I believe like 1 Peter 1 says, “guards us through faith, for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time!” I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 9 Episode 7 // For Your Splendor Apr 25, 2024

It has been SO beautiful to get to share these songs (and stories behind the songs!) but most importantly, the truth imbedded in them! Today we are going to look at “For Your Splendor,” a new version of a tried and true song that is deeply personal to me. I’d even venture to say that it’s quintessential when it comes to my sound and heart as a worshiper!

It is from Isaiah 61, and we’ll come around the vital posture of being planted in the Lord, and staying deeply connected to Him at our roots! Even though we might feel small, even cold and bare, we can be assured that we’ll still be standing in the storm! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 9 Episode 6 // Be Loved Apr 18, 2024

I have LOVED this spring series so much! God has been reminding me of truth that He set in my heart, so long ago, knowing that I would need that truth to wash over me again, TODAY! We are going to remember together, that God always knows where to find us. Though there’s much temptation to just skip being made in the secret place (especially when we see the world around us charging forward!) God is preparing us, protecting us and will promote us when we wait in trust for Him.
We will also look into the connection of God’s presence being one of the central ways that we are able to remain in the love of God, as Jesus commanded us. It’s going to be a beautiful time to even receive His love over us once more! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 9 Episode 5 // Knees to the Earth Apr 11, 2024

Today we are celebrating the release of another EP called “Knees to the Earth,” which is the next three songs from the "Live from Keeper's Branch" album that we are unfolding this spring! Not only are these songs so sacred to us, many of them have very sacred stories behind them and today’s song emphasis, “Knees to the Earth,” is definitely one of those kind of stories! You don’t want to miss it!

And you know me, it’s never just about the song or its story, but it’s always about the truth that’s set in them! Today we’ll keep coming around what it looks like to bloom where we are planted, even when it’s hidden and hard! We’ll encourage each other in waiting on the Lord, as we also learn to look for the ways He is speaking to us, leading us and is with us, as we’re being “made” in the secret! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 9 Episode 4 // Lord I Need You Mar 28, 2024

Okay so…somehow this episode got really personal! Did I actually just reveal what I want my “Grandma” name to be, someday?

Or, maybe it feels personal because this song, “Lord, I Need You”, that we’ll come around today, is very dear to me! I’ll talk about being a part of writing it around a table of dear friends, who have been more like brothers to me. But, I’ll also give you some insight into being the only woman at that table, and in that community, for a very long time. It was both a privilege and a pruning ground that God used to grow me as a woman, songwriter and leader.

I’ll also begin a narrative that I’ll carry throughout some of the other episodes this spring, about the very beginnings of God calling me to songwriting and worship leading. Rather than doors flying open and me, running with momentum, it was more a still—even sometimes silent and hidden—beginning. It was more that God had given me a deposit and a promise of something that was to come. But, of course, the way in which He’d have me carry that out, was to wait on Him to unfold the story in the way that only He could! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 9 Episode 3 // The Heart of Worship Mar 21, 2024

I am so excited to continue this spring series, coming around my new EP, “You Revive Me”, available everywhere you listen to music! Y’all know me by now, that these songs are simply a diving board for us to plunge into the deep together! Into the glorious things of God…right in the middle of our mundane!

Today we will do just that, as we come around the beautiful offering that each of us have to bring, in worship of our King. In each episode, we’re taking the time to put into practice the truth we’re remembering together.
Today we’ll ask God to help us visualize— and therefore, hopefully value— the offering that our lives and hearts truly are to Him!
I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 9 Episode 2 // Breathe Your Name Mar 14, 2024

It has been so beautiful to get to release some new, yet familiar—even tried and true songs—in this season! One of those is the song, “Breathe” paired with another beloved song, “Let it Be Jesus.”
Today, I’ll take you back to the seasons I was in when I first began to sing and lead both of these beautiful songs. They were very significant seasons in my life and in my spiritual formation, and to merge them together on this new album is such a joy. It’s amazing how songs can truly become guideposts and guardrails in our journey, even a gateway to surrendering more of our heart to God’s heart!
We’ll kind of walk through that gateway together, using these two songs, and talk about how God wants these proclamations we sing to become realities in our hearts and lives. “God, I breathe Your Name above everything,” is more than just a beautiful lyric! It’s a posture of resolve and rest, and a deep trust that everything we need is found in Jesus.
I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 9 Episode 1 // Up 'Till Now Mar 07, 2024

Today we will kick off a spring series in celebration of NEW (but familiar!) music—my EP “You Revive Me”, releases THIS WEEK wherever you listen to music!
I’ve named today’s episode “Up ‘Till Now”, because this album (that will continue to unfold throughout the spring) feels like an Ebenezer moment, to stop and say, “Up ‘till now, the Lord has been our help!” He has been so faithful, so kind and true, even through some of the hardest seasons in life.
Also, as promised, today I will share with you what I wrote and read at my precious Mama’s celebration of life! I hope that it will help remind you of your own legacy that you are leaving, or perhaps even help define it!
I look forward to walking with you this spring.
I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 8 Episode 7 // Be Thou My Vision Dec 14, 2023

If you or someone you know has experienced loss this season, you’ll want to listen and pass this one along.
There will be more to come with sharing some beautiful truths that I’ve learned and received from my sweet Mama’s legacy. But for now, this is me letting you in on some of the last days and hours of her precious life here on earth.
When we released the beloved hymn, Be Thou My Vision, on November 10th, I could never have imagined that my mother would go Home to Jesus just eleven days later. This song would become a prophetic anthem for me to hold onto and sing over this season.
Whatever you are walking through this season, I pray that this episode (and this song) meets you in the most powerful way!

Summer In The Psalms // Psalm 118 - Your Love Endures Forever Aug 10, 2023

Okay, so this one made me weepy! Today we’ll be in Psalm 118 which is a part of the Hallel—a collection of six Psalms (113-118) that have been sung and recited on joyous occasions and festivals all throughout Israel’s history. We’ll remember together that Jesus would have sung these very Psalms as a little boy, as well as his disciples, and Psalm 118 was sung by Jesus and his disciples together just before they made their way to the Mount of Olives. It’s this beautiful picture of the power of worship when it’s rooted and grounded in timeless Scripture, but then experienced in the very presence of Jesus!
May we be a part of the true worshipers who will worship in Spirit and in Truth, singing about God, TO God! Letting a new song arise in us, from our hearts to His. I’ll talk to you soon!

Summer in the Psalms // Psalm 19 - The Promise Poured Out Aug 03, 2023

Today we’re in beautiful Psalm 19 where we’ll remember together that God set revelation in the heavens that is pouring out promise over us day and night, night and day!
This kind of framework, His order, His heart, His way, postures us to look into His rules, even His boundaries for us. To heed their warning—yes—but to also know the great reward in keeping His way! Certainly one of the greatest rewards is His very presence and even confession and repentance can afford us a closeness with Him that we might not find any other way! I’ll talk to you soon!

Summer In The Psalms // Psalm 66 - Come and Listen Jul 27, 2023

Today I’m going to tell you about some home renovations that Nate and I have embarked on this summer, just to let you in on a little bit of our world and the DIY adventures that we find ourselves swimming in!
With all that going on, the Psalms have kept a steady STIRRING in me and I pray the Lord has used them in the same way for you!
Today we will be in Psalm 66 together where we will explore the beautiful declaration of, “As for me, I will tell what He has done for my soul.” We’ll talk about leaning in with intentionality to tell God what He has done, as well as others!
Yes, we’ll be reminded of the importance of surrounding ourselves with people who we experience Truth with. Friends who say, “Come and listen, let me tell you what He has done for me!”
I’ll talk to you soon!

Summer In The Psalms // Psalms 46 - Everywhere the River Goes Jul 20, 2023

In celebration of my husband Nathan’s brand new album “Everywhere the River Goes” (available anywhere you listen to music!) we’re going to talk about this River and the beauty of staying within the River’s reach all the days of our lives! In fact, we’ll use the song titles to give us a grid for what this River’s work looks like in us and through us.
There’s mention of this River in Psalm 46, today’s Psalm, as well as in Ezekiel 47. We’ll look at aspects of both of these beautiful passages that remind us of the teeming life that only God can give us and how important it is to stay near Him to flourish! I’ll talk to you soon!

Summer In The Psalms // Psalm 88 - A Holy Tension Jul 13, 2023

Last week we talked about a holy resolve, when we have a shift in perspective upon remembering what is TRUE about God, about ourselves and the world around us. This week we’re going to sit in a bit of a holy tension together in Psalm 88, which is a passage that’s not easy to get comfy in!
But I am so excited to tell you that we have a VERY special guest joining us today! Adrienne Camp is going to lead us in coming around our Psalm for this week and I know you’re going to LOVE hearing from her! I got word that she has just released a beautiful bible study called As For Me: Life Through the Lens of the Psalms (available now everywhere you buy books!) and you know I had to have her join us!
You are going to love the richness of her heart and life as she shares about the freedom in Christ that is ours when we trust God and look to Him and invite Him to work in our lives…even through hardship and struggle! I’ll talk to you soon!

Summer In The Psalms // Psalm 73 - A Holy Resolve Jul 06, 2023

I’m SO THRILLED that the SUMMER IN THE PSALMS series is back! I have needed this in my own life!! The lazy days of summer can be wonderful, but I find that it’s easy to drift from my rhythm of staying grounded in truth if I’m not careful. I hope this series meets you right on time in the same way!
Today we’ll look at Psalm 73 together. It’s about as honest as it gets, I love it! We can glean so much from it as we witness the Psalmist sing of his struggle but most importantly, we get to see where he goes to find answers.
The Psalmist is looking around him and things just don’t make sense. He has been careful to keep his life pure, but his only reward seems to be pain and turmoil. Yet, he looks around and sees people who don’t care a thing about God or His ways and they seem to have it all together!
He assures us that he was tempted to say out loud
what was REALLY in his head and his heart concerning his bitterness but—thankfully for you and me—he chooses a different path, a better resolve. One that you and I can see for ourselves today as we navigate a perplexing hour! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 7 Episode 6 - Christ In Me May 18, 2023

Today you are going to get to hear some REALLY fun behind-the-scenes-stories from my new album “This is the Hour,” particularly from the adventure that was the photo shoot for this album! Even the little trick behind getting my hair to look “ablaze” in the wind for the cover of the song Valor! I had so much fun remembering the details of such a wonderful day, can’t wait to tell you all about it!

We’ll also dive into the beautiful and sacred truth of Christ’s life IN us! His life in us makes us a new creation and it also intrinsically ties us to the work that He is still doing on the earth and for eternity! Listen in to be reminded of this glorious work you are inviting into, even in the mundane! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 7 Episode 5 - Valor May 10, 2023

Today I’m so excited to get to come around the song “Valor”, one of my favorite songs from my new album, “This is the Hour,” available everywhere you listen to music.

This song rose up in me in a season where I began to realize that the hardships, the pain, and what felt like relentless trials were not for nothing. In fact, they would afford me something that nothing in this world could offer me. My bravest step in that season would be surrendering, yielding once again to a sovereign God. Moving toward Him, my true relief in this life!

Season 7 Episode 4 - The Strength That Prevails May 04, 2023

VALOR // This beautiful word… I’ve come to embrace it like a friend. It’s a personal bravery that is directly tied to, even flows out of our very identity as the Beloved of God.
But much like soul rest, it isn’t accomplished by our determination or will — it’s in surrender that Christ’s strength is imparted to us and through us! Join me as I continue the stories behind the songs that simply act as a lens for us to look at some deep, life-changing truth that is for our flourishing in this hour! I’ll talk to you soon!

Today we’re going to keep leaning into the posture and perspective that God’s presence has always been His ultimate plan for His people, that we might flourish and even cause the world around us to flourish too! Shifting our gaze towards Him each day is vital for our growth and it remains one of the easiest things possible for the human race!
Today I’ll also share some insights around the Overture—a song that is very dear to me—that opens my new album “This is the Hour”, available everywhere you listen to music! I hope you’ll join me.

Season 7 Episode 2 - Evermore Apr 13, 2023

New Episode Today!!
Today we’ll come around these intriguing questions: What if His presence is really His plan for us? And, what if His will for our lives is simply to walk with Him and treasure His “withness” with us more than anything?

The longer I live, the more I’m convinced that the mundane really is the platform that God uses to refine us and grow us…to even shape our lives for longevity! Our part in it is learning to be aware of His presence and being willing to consistently meet with Him in the rhythm of our ordinary days. I know for me, it’s easy to allow the thing I’m building FOR Him to blind me from truly just seeing Him.

I’m also going to share a song with you today called “Evermore” that comes around this beautiful theme of His presence being what He values most on our behalf!

I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 7 Episode 1 - Where Would I Be? Apr 06, 2023

Y’all, it’s back. I’M BACK! I’m so excited to relaunch The Glorious in the Mundane podcast this week! You probably guessed that I’m going to be coming around my new album called “This is the Hour,” available everywhere you listen to music! I’m not coming around these songs just for the song’s sake—I just believe that God has shown me so much in the past few years of writing and recording these songs and I’m excited to tell the stories and to testify of God’s faithfulness once again and to encourage you that your “ordinary” is a place where God wants to meet with you and shape you into who He’s always known you to be! I’ll talk to you soon friend!

We will talk about knowing WHERE we are in terms of what God is stirring in us, even WHERE we are in His Word—how we are consuming and experiencing His goodness and truth.

Come Magnify Mini Series // Postured for His Presence Nov 03, 2022

Today we’re going to come around some simple practices— heart postures if you will—that help lead us to unbroken union with God. These postures have helped me to go deep with the Lord even when I’m on the go or only have a limited amount of quiet time.
I’ve heard it said, mission is not sustainable without union with God. Whatever it is that we’re putting our hearts and hands to—it ultimately won’t last unless we cultivate a real and lasting relationship with God. One where we actually converse with Him and ask Him to show us where He is working in our lives and we, in turn, act in obedience.
I hope you’ll join me as we go “further up and farther in” together! I’ll talk to you soon!

Come Magnify Mini Series // Home Oct 20, 2022

NEW PODCAST TODAY!! Today I’m going to introduce a NEW SONG that is hands-down my favorite song that God has stirred in me yet. It’s that precious to me! Even days after writing it, I was sharing it but that’s mostly because of the encounter that I had with God on my front porch one evening. The song stands as a vivid reminder of not only that moment but of what I truly believe God desires for His people in this hour: That we would come HOME to His heart. Fully and completely.
In John 14, Jesus was asked, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” In verse 23 Jesus answered saying, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”
Not only do I believe it’s possible for God to be our truest home this side of heaven, I believe it’s his plan for us. This is the brightest hope of our Gospel story…that we are reconciled to the Father’s arms in the here and now, because of Jesus!
I’m tagging those of you who heard me squawk out (through tears) this story and the very beginnings of this song, even when I was still just reading the lyrics from my journal. And thanks to those of you who said, “You have to keep the ‘screen door’ line in the bridge!” As I remember those moments I can’t help but think…how beautiful is the Body of Christ!? That we have each other and we’re all a part of this Home together.
May you find yourself further up and farther in, finding your truest home in His heart again today. I’ll talk to you soon!

Psalms for Summer’s End - Psalm 91 Sep 21, 2022

SURPRISE!! BRAND NEW EPISODE TODAY! I decided to jump in and end our Psalms for Summer’s End series in REAL TIME and to say “HAPPY FIRST WEEK OF FALL, Y’ALL!”

Today you’ll get an exciting update on the MUSIC and the PODCAST series that’s coming your way this fall! We’ll also come around Psalm 91 together, which is a very tender Psalm for me, as we prayed it over our son, Noah, even before he was born! You’ll even get to hear about the “Rite of Passage” ceremony we held for Noah when he turned 13 and how we’re still seeing the themes threaded through his life from that time!

Most importantly, we’ll remember the strong refuge that is our Almighty God! There is protection and provision for those who take refuge in Him! I’ll talk to you soon!

Psalms for Summer’s End - Psalm 27 Sep 14, 2022

This Psalm is so near and dear to my heart! In fact, Nathan and I wrote a song based around this Psalm when we were still just dating. David models for us in this passage what it looks like to take refuge in God and let Him hide us and heal us but he’s also showing us something so important to pursue during seasons of hardship! I think there are so many ways that we can respond in painful seasons. There’s always plenty to complain about, lots of drama to post on social media and tons of ways that we can focus on ourselves as we’re trying to figure out what’s going to happen next! Thankfully, we have the Word of God over us today! It offers us LIFE and along with that life it offers us actual HELP in times of trouble. Thank You, Jesus! I love that David shows us HOW to actively wait on God and how to not waste the hardship! He models what to go after and what to be about and focus on when we don’t know what else to do! This passage is pure gold! I’ll talk to you soon!

Psalms for Summer’s End - Psalm 1 Sep 07, 2022

I pray that these Psalms for Summer’s End have caused you to slow down and remember who and Whose you are in an otherwise very busy season! Today we’re in Psalm 1 , which has always connected me to Jeremiah 17, a passage that God used several years ago to pretty much break my heart open! I share about that pruning moment as we look at why these two “trees planted by streams of water” passages are so sharply contrasted with rooting our identity in anything or anyone else besides God!

We’re also going to remember together what God values most for us as His people. My prayer is that this message will keep our hearts tender in loving and desiring what God desires and values on our behalf! I’ll talk to you soon!

Psalms For Summer's End - Psalm 8 Aug 31, 2022

Welcome back to the Psalms for Summer’s End podcast series! These episodes are some of my personal favorites that were previously released to my patron audience only and now we’re making them available to YOU! I hope that as we all anticipate the turning of the season that these truths will encourage and strengthen us along the way!

Today you’ll hear all about our family’s FIRST trip to Lost Valley Ranch, a place–as many of you know–that would become a refuge for our family these past five years! It was when the Lord awakened us once again to wonder. Who-even-knew how a lope through a creek, on a horse, could change my life forever!

We’ll be in Psalm 8 together today remembering the majesty and mindfulness of God in the way that He made us and blessed us at Creation! Looking to His Word together has a way of clearing our view like nothing else can. Even when we can’t see the full picture, we can see Jesus and the love of God in sending Him to us!

Psalms For Summer's End - Psalm 90 Aug 24, 2022

Welcome back to the Psalms for Summer’s End podcast series! These near and dear podcast episodes were previously released to my patron audience only and now we’re making them available to YOU! These were recorded a few years back but God’s Word is living and active, so I hope that they meet you right where you are with the peace that only God can give!

Today we’ll dive into a not-so-obvious Psalm that’s one of those that you love at the beginning but you have no idea what to do with the middle and then “yay!” the ending is back to the fun stuff! Following the circle of lament, we’ll learn to wrestle with that weighty stuff in the middle–that our lives are basically a vapor–here today, gone tomorrow. But, there’s HOPE in holding the tension that we can actually build something that long outlasts us, as we make the most of our own “once upon a time until kingdom come”.

Psalms for Summer's End - Psalm 23 Aug 17, 2022

The world, with all its chaos and charm sets a trap. But Jesus…he sets a table.

SURPRISE! I’m so excited to release this series of podcasts that have been so near and dear to my heart! These were originally created for my podcast patrons only and haven’t been released to the public until now! I called the series, “Summer in the Psalms” but since we’re nearing the golden hour of the summer of ‘22, I think we can receive them as “Psalms for Summer’s End.” (Makes me exhale just saying it!)

Keep in mind that these podcasts are from a few summers ago! That means you’ll hear me talking about Noah’s 18th birthday, Annie’s 11th, and that Ellie was just 15! Can we all just stop and have a big ole cry over that? This summer they are 22, 15 and 19 going on 20. Time flies y’all.

All the more reason to sit in the Psalms together as summer ends. In today’s episode we’ll talk a little bit about sheep (hello, us!) and how we have a perfect Shepherd who knows our every need. He is skillful in caring for his own and when we become receptive to that care, we find that all our wants and needs are satisfied in him alone. We’re accepted, we’re covered, we’re called by name….we’re home.

Abide Mini Series // Episode 2 Jun 17, 2022

Enjoy the second part of this surprise podcast series in celebration of my song- release of “Abide”!
If you need a bit of a reset this week, this episode was made with you in mind! In fact, you might want to get somewhere where you can be alone with the Lord or even go on a walk!
We’ll talk about the love language of surrender and how God responds to a yielded heart and life in His presence. I pray that this deeply encourages you around what it looks like to abide in Jesus as a response to who He is and therefore, who YOU are!

Season 5 Episode 15 // Always Remember to Never Forget Jun 09, 2021

This was a little bit of an emotional process for me in getting this episode into your hands! Today we will come around the very last chapter in my new book The Life You Long For: Learning to Live from a Heart of Rest. The chapter we’ll look at is “Always Remember to Never Forget.” Whether you’ve heard my song titled this or read this chapter, I think today’s episode on this still stands alone! I think there’s no better time to remember together what I call “The Seven Wonders of the Beloved” in this chapter, which are the who, whose, when, where, how, what and why of our lives.

These are prodding answers in the form of questions that help us remember who and whose we are so that we can stand faithfully in our “when”—knowing full-well “where” we are in Christ—so that we can be about the how, what and why or our day and our lives! I’ll be signing off for the summer with this episode. I hope it finds you holding fast to JESUS in these days. Much love and I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 5 Episode 14 // The Power of Small May 21, 2021

I’m welcoming back my lovely friend @magenleighroberson as my co-host today as we come around what is shamelessly my FAVORITE chapter in my new book The Life You Long For: Learning to Live From a Heart of Rest. It’s called “The Power of Small” and what makes the small so powerful is that we serve a God of multiplication! And, I wonder if in these days when things still don’t look like they use to, if we are being invited to experience His multiplication in a way we never thought possible....to learn to trust Him in a new way with what we’ve been given, even when it seems hidden and small. I hope you are SO encouraged today, right where you are! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 5 Episode 13 // The Heart of a Mother May 06, 2021

Today we will pause from our regular podcast series to come around the beauty of the heart of a mother. Wherever you are in your journey, if you are a woman, you can carry a mother’s heart! You don’t have to be a mother physically to carry a mother’s heart spiritually!

I pray that today you are reminded that you have a Father who delights in you and loves you and longs to FILL you with everything you need in order that you might freely give away what you’ve received! More than ever, this world needs mothers! May we allow a naming, nurturing and navigating heart to be formed and quickened in us in these days! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 5 Episode 12 // Everything is Mine in You Apr 28, 2021

NEW PODCAST TODAY! I had THE most beautiful time getting to catch up with the lovely @ellieholcomb today on the podcast! As you know I’ve been inviting friends and family to “co-host” with me during this season as a way of celebrating my new book The Life You Long For: Learning to Live From a Heart of Rest. Today we jump into one of my FAVORITE chapters in the book called “Everything is Mine in You” named after a song that Ellie and I wrote together the day we first met! It comes around the truth of 1 Corinthians 3 where Paul urges us to not boast in human leaders because “All things are ours in Christ!” What a truth to declare, even when we stand and ponder circumstances that seem impossible to overcome! We can thank Jesus today, that in Him, everything is ours today. Not earthly things, but Kingdom promises!

You are going to LOVE hearing from the beloved Ellie Holcomb as we also talk about what’s going on in her world, including her new (gorgeous) song CANYON which is out now!! Lastly - if you'd like to get tickets or more info for the faithful livestream on May 1st you can find the link here! We’ll talk to you soon!

Season 5 Episode 11 // Heart Like a Honeycomb Apr 21, 2021

NEW PODCAST TODAY! My lovely co-host is the one and only @ginnyowensofficial and I’m so excited for you to get to hear from her heart and her life! We got to reminisce about our days of getting to tour together (over 20 years ago now!) and how grateful we are to still be friends after all this time! This week we are coming around the chapter called “Heart Like a Honeycomb” in my new book The Life You Long For: Learning to Live From a Heart of Rest. We will talk about the pursuit of REST in the middle of this restless world that we find ourselves in!

Ginny was born with very poor eyesight and by the time she was three years old, she was completely blind. Ginny has AMAZED me for years—not just because of her Spidey-like-senses and her ability to put her make up on in the dark!—but because of her surrendered heart toward Jesus, no matter what. Today we get to come around HER new book called Singing in the Dark: Finding Hope in the Songs of Scripture. I’ve READ IT and I LOVE IT and even got to write the foreword for it! It’s available NOW for pre-order, everywhere you buy books and officially releases on May 1st! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 5 Episode 10 // Amaryllis Prayers Apr 14, 2021

What a joy to get to invite some FAMILY in today as I talk about some of the themes of my new book The Life You Long For: Learning to Live From a Heart of Rest.

This is another conversation that will remain one of my favorites of all time. I truly hope you will listen and be greatly encouraged by this one! My precious sister-in-law @mrskristinhill dropped so much wisdom today as she shared about what it has looked like to learn to bloom in the middle of what has felt like a “winter of the world” this past year! Kristin shares some very practical rhythms and practices that have kept her heart tender and surrendered before the Lord in these days! I promise you will be so incredibly encouraged by what she has to share! We’ll talk to you soon!

Season 5 Episode 9 // Complete My Joy Apr 07, 2021

It has been so much fun inviting friends and family on the podcast to help me talk through the themes and truths from my new book The Life You Long For: Learning to Live From a Heart of Rest. I’m beyond excited to welcome back my precious friend @molleymoody to the podcast! I have to say, this conversation is absolutely PRECIOUS to me. The heart of it celebrates the joy of “discipleship in the mundane” and what it looks like to invite others into our story. I think we can get caught up in believing that discipleship is harder than it really is. You’ll hear today that something as simple as pancakes around my farm table on a Friday night was the perfect beginning for Molley and I walking together all these years! You’re going to love Molley’s heart and our trip down memory lane together! I’ll talk to you soon!

As you know, I’m inviting friends and family to join me in talking through some of the themes of my new book The Life You Long For: Learning to Live From a Heart of Rest. My sweet friend @laurenchandler is back on the podcast with me today! This amazing lady has been a part of my journey in so many precious ways! She was even a part of a group of women that God brought close to my heart shortly after I began to live from my Belovedness—from the inside out. Join us today as we talk about what it looks like to BE the Kingdom (rather than just “do Kingdom things”) and to learn how to invite others to come alongside us on the journey! I’ll talk to you soon!

So excited to continue this beautiful conversation around our identity in Christ, as sons & daughters of God! @magenleighroberson and I will give some very practical examples of what it looks like to combat the lies of the enemy—even come out of “agreement” with those lies—and to learn how to proclaim, believe and live in the TRUTH over our lives instead!

The Father has created a place of communion and peace for those who will look to Him today for our every need! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 5 Episode 4 // The Glorious in the Mundane Feb 24, 2021

Join me and my dear friend Shannon Scott as we go down memory lane about the decision to lay down my career years ago. My journey of laying down “Watermark”, the ministry and music career that Nathan and I shared all those years ago, was one of the biggest leaps of faith of my entire life. With no “Plan B” I followed what I sensed God was asking me to do and the REST followed (pun intended as my brother, Eric would say!)

It was here, far away from the platform, that God would re-order my identity around who and Whose I really am. It was a life-changing work and I’d venture to say a life-saving work that He did in my heart, one that carries me to this day to live and work (and even work hard) from His rest! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 5 Episode 3 // The Farm Table Epiphany Feb 17, 2021

It is SO incredibly full-circle and sweet to have my dear friend Lauren Chandler on the podcast today! If you have my book, The Life You Long For, this IS the Lauren who shares the “bullseye” vision with me from chapter two! I know that she’s no stranger to most of you and she remains one of my dearest friends to this day! I’m so grateful for her heart and her friendship, and the way that she hears from the Lord. Today, she and I will talk about what it looks like to resist striving and to live from the “bullseye of our Belovedness.”

Lauren is an author, worship leader and singer/songwriter and has a love for the Word of God. Her brand new bible study, With Us in the Wilderness, is absolutely rich and beautiful and is available now! I’ll talk to you soon!

If you pre-order the book The Life You Long For: Learning to live from a heart of Rest podcast listeners can get the first three chapters of The Life You Long For here!
HIS BANNER OVER ME IS LOVE, even in pain, even in hardship, even in years like 2020 and beyond—even when we don’t know what He’s up to—He promises to work all things together for our good.

Join me and one of my dear friends @shannonsscott as she tries to stump me with some OLD “Christy Nockels” tunes from yonder years! (We have a running joke that she remembers more of the songs I’ve sung than I do!) We will also dive deep together with some of the themes from my new book, The Life You Long For: Learning to Live From a Heart of Rest. I hope you’re reminded that God is WITH you and He is working, even when we can’t imagine HOW! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 5 Episode 1 // The Life You Long For Feb 05, 2021

If you pre-order the book The Life You Long For: Learning to live from a heart of Rest podcast listeners can get the first three chapters of The Life You Long For here!
I’m so excited to kick of SEASON FIVE of The Glorious in the Mundane podcast! For the next several weeks, I’ll be inviting some close friends and family to journey with me through some of the key truths in my new book The Life You Long For: Learning to Live From a Heart of Rest. (Available for pre-order now!) We will be talking about what it looks like to live from rest—especially in these peculiar days.

However, today it’s just me and we’re going to remember together that the whole of who we are is not wrapped up in what we do. We are so much more wonderfully complex than that! In fact, I’m going to attempt to re-introduce myself to you without including anything that I “do” in this life. We will also pause together to asses where we are right now—as in, how do we come to this podcast table today? Aside from what we’ve got to get done today or even our difficult circumstances, where ARE we?

You’ll hear where I am—through tears I might add—and how I come to the table today. And in it, I hope you are encouraged and feel permission to tell Jesus where YOU are. I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 4 Episode 19 // Those Who Look to Him - Psalm 119 Dec 23, 2020

LAST PODCAST OF THE YEAR! Are you needing a moment to stop and breathe and remember what’s true of God and therefore true of you? If so, this episode is for YOU! As we finish the beautifully complex Psalm 119 together, we will actually take a minute to pray through it with the Lord (while my husband @nathannockels plays music that will lift our perspective!) We will not only seek the face of God together this Christmas, but we will also ask the Lord—as the singer of Psalm 119 does—that He might seek us in these days! What a beautiful gift and invitation to slip underneath the door of God’s heart this Christmas, “God, I give you permission to seek me!” All in all, may you be reminded of the relentless, purifying and fiery love of God over you! I’ll talk to you soon!

A Family Christmas Special Tickets
Beloved, what is your cry this Christmas? Are you tired and overwhelmed? Having trouble articulating all that’s stirring in you? Today we will be reminded that our current “predicament” can be used to grow in us “persistence” in crying out to the Lord! Join me over the next few episodes as we finish up Psalm 119 together this Christmas season! Even if you haven’t been journeying with us, that’s okay, I promise you will be encouraged! I say that with confidence because God’s Word never returns void. It is vast and full of treasure and we are wise to dive into it together! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 4 Episode 16 // Those Who Look to Him - Psalm 119 Oct 28, 2020

So, I wrestled pretty hard with this one, as it will fall around the election. But in the end, I believe God showed me the way to go! And that’s just what we’ll be talking about...what it looks like to look to God—to put aside every distraction—and ask the Holy Spirit, “Would you show me the way to go?”

In a moment in history that feels absolutely impossible to navigate, we’ll huddle together and remember that His Word, His Way is the grid for our lives. I also landed on something that just may have changed my heart around prayer forever! I’ll talk to you soon!

Well, I’m marveling at God all over again! It’s amazing, when we are faithful to open His Word, He will show us something new and life giving over and over. His Word never returns empty! I sensed it again today as I recorded this and even paused for a “response” moment for us to just stop and open our hands and hearts to God! I’m excited to welcome back my friend Margaret Feinberg to the podcast! I truly mean it when I say that I’m excited for you to hear about her new devotional called “More Power To You: Declarations to Break Free from Fear and Take Back Your Life! We’ve talked about this a lot on this podcast, that there’s power in confessing, even out loud, who God is and who we are because of who He is! You’re going to love hearing how these declarations help us combat lies that we don’t even know that we’ve made full-on agreements with in this life! There IS freedom in confessing these agreements and declaring the truth of God’s Word over our lives everyday! I’ll talk to you soon!

OK. THIS MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE PODCAST EVER! I believe that this episode will truly ENCOURAGE your heart of how much God cares about you and loves you! We need to be faithful to TESTIFY of His goodness and His faithfulness to each other!

I’m so delighted that I got to sit down with my sweet friends Melinda Mayton and Tammi Dryden as we share about Blue Skies Ministries 💙 and how God is near to the broken-hearted. One of the ways He does that—I’m convinced—is that He uses the hands and feet of Christ—that’s us!—as we come together to serve and love from His heart! Don’t miss this one... it’s a KEEPER! I’ll talk to you soon!

If you'd like to give to Blue Skies Ministries, you can find more info on their website.

Well, you’ve seen the pictures and videos of our ducklings, Hope and Dream, and many of you have probably searching “raising ducklings” ever since! Trust me, local friends are booking appointments to come over and hold them! Today, you’ll hear the story, as promised, about where their names came from! And….we get to come around the truth together that God’s faithfulness endures to all generations (Psalm 119:90) and sometimes His faithfulness to us is EACH OTHER! I’m so happy to get to host @lisabevere as my special guest today! Join us as we talk about her most personal and powerful book yet! Godmothers: Why You Need One. How to Be One. It was wonderful to get to sit with Lisa and hear her heart for women…for how God made us and how we were made to champion each other in this life!

Season 4 Episode 11 // Those Who Look to Him - Psalm 119 Aug 14, 2020

Today we will talk about how incredibly vital it is that we protect our souls to be able to receive the life of God in our mundane. Most of us don’t even realize the war that is waged against us as the people of God, and how much of it we are actually allowing to penetrate our minds, hearts and souls! We will look at Psalm 119:81-88, as the Psalmist cries out with all that’s left within him, “God give me life!” Oh, Beloved, how we too need the life of God, for such a time as this!

In our portion of Psalm 119 today we’ll be reminded that God has called us to walk in His way, together! We must look to God in these days, first and foremost, but the Psalmist reminds us that out of the overflow of walking in the way of the Lord, we can also look to each other and be encouraged to endure! There’s comfort and fellowship even in affliction and adversity and we can spur one another on to keep our hope and our delight in the Word of God!

This week we will take a climb up to the top of the cultural landscape we find ourselves in, with the challenge of somehow seeing the goodness of God in it all. Yes, we will remember together that even in affliction and adversity, God’s goodness can be found in astounding and transformational ways! We will be in Psalm 119:65-72 where the singer belts out, “Good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statues.” We’ll ask ourselves, yet again in this beautiful text, “Do I understand it? Can I feel it? Am I willing to sing it?” I’ll talk to you soon!

Today’s podcast is in celebration of our 25th Anniversary! Join me and my loving (and pretty brilliant) husband @nathannockels as we remember together so many beautiful years of marriage and ministry! We will take some verses in our section of Psalm 119 and use them as “lamp posts” in recalling our journey as we thank God that He has been our portion in this life—faithfully leading us toward a life of pursuing longevity and hopefully, a legacy.

Season 4 Episode 7 // Those Who Look to Him - Psalm 119 Jun 11, 2020

In the heaviness of this moment in history may we never be the same....may real and lasting change finally happen in our country and our world but most important, in our hearts. Yet for lasting change, we must ultimately look to God. We must work to mend this, but we can’t do this without the Mender. Today, the lovely Sara Hagerty and I will come around the theme of adoration, which can look like us looking to God—right in the middle of the heaviness—and even in the middle minutes of our day in a way that redirects our hearts and postures us to live from Him again. I’ll talk to you soon!If you want to know learn more about The Life You Long For book - check out www.thelifeyoulongforbook.com. - Christy

Season 4 Episode 6 // Those Who Look to Him - Psalm 119 May 27, 2020

New Podcast Today!! Have you ever considered that the way you walk with the Lord will be remembered? It’s quite a beautiful and life changing thought, that our ordinary can be an offering…our little minutes of each day, even a legacy! Lamentations 3:22 says, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end.” It’s beautiful to think how our own affections being stirred for the Lord could impact our children’s children and their affections for Him being stirred! God’s love goes on and on regardless, but in His mercy, He allows His love to also go on and on through us! I’ll talk to you soon!-Christy

Season 4 Episode 5 // Those Who Look to Him - Psalm 119 May 08, 2020

I’m amazed! Even in just five episodes, I feel like I have grown leaps and bounds and THIS is the promise of God’s living and active Word, it never returns void! He Himself said, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.” (Jer 1:12) I’ll admit, I was a bit intimidated of this Psalm at first, but as we’ve been willing to ask God together—to come and show us His insight and give us His wisdom—I stand amazed that He’s given us something NEW each time! So, it follows that this episode is no exception - He promises MORE of who He is as we remember together that it is most of the battle AND the victory to simply keep asking, seeking and knocking that He might keep revealing to us His Way—the only way that gives true LIFE! Also, if you would like to join me in learning to play the piano in the rooted music online class, I would love to have you. https://bit.ly/rootedchristy.

Bonus - Salvation & Sabbath // Part 2 Apr 29, 2020

Friends! I so hope that you enjoy Part Two of Salvation & Sabbath! This episode we will remember the precious gift that God gave us in the Sabbath. He Himself rested on the 7th day of Creation, helping us to set a pace for our lives that He knew would be for our blessing! As we’ve been discovering together, God’s commandments were a part of His Covenant love for us and they were always meant to be a blessing and not a burden! May we all take every last moment of this global pause to learn a NEW pace that we might emerge in, one that both honors the Lord and restores to us the joy of learning to ENJOY God!-Christy

Season 4 - Episode 4 // Those Who Look to Him - Psalm 119 Apr 22, 2020

I have to say that God moved my heart in a really sweet way in the making of this episode, so much that it surprised me! Today we’ll talk about what it looks like to hold both sides of the tension of “clinging to the dust and clinging to the testimonies of God” all at the same time! Thankfully, the singer of Psalm 119 set a beautiful tone for us, that we are able to be honest with God, opening up before Him everyday about where we truly are! The power of the Gospel is that we don’t have to have it all together! Living the Christian life is not about mustering up the strength to stand on our own two feet, it’s all about getting to rest in and fall on Jesus! This was a timely word for me and I hope God uses it to meet you right where you are today! I’ll talk to you soon!Also, if you would like to join me in learning to play the piano in the rooted music online class, I would love to have you. https://bit.ly/rootedchristy.

Season 4 Episode 3 // Those Who Look to Him - Psalm 119 Apr 08, 2020

There’s never been a better time in history to stay connected with each other as we walk toward God and His Word! This week’s episode we will be in Psalm 119 together again as we talk about what it looks like for God to “deal bountifully” with us! I don’t know about you, but I’m praying more than ever for God to show up in a way that only He can! But, what would it look like for Him to “deal bountifully” with us? With you? Join us as we rest in God’s peace and protection together but also as we dig into some of the not-so-obvious ways that He might show up and “deal bountifully” with us! Ways that are LIFE CHANGING for us in these days--and for the remainder of our days--here in our temporary home we call, Earth! I’m excited to walk in TRUTH together with you! If you’d like to become a patron of this podcast, which delivers the podcast to you early as well as connects with The Glorious in the Mundane community, you can go to patreon.com/christynockels to sign up today!

Season 4 - Episode 2 // Those Who Look to Him - Psalm 119 Mar 25, 2020

Hey all you Beautiful People! It’s my honor to get to connect with you in this way, in these days! We are coming around Psalm 119 together in this season of The Glorious in the Mundane podcast. This Psalm is reminding me of Hebrews 5:14, “But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.” This isn’t a light-hearted Psalm, but I believe in these days we are living in, it’s solid food that we can sink our teeth into! Hiding God’s Word in our heart is what keeps us walking in the way of the Lord! May we be steadfast in what we are allowing into our heart so that truth can rise from our lips for such a time as this! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 4 - Episode 1 // Those Who Look to Him - Psalm 119 Mar 11, 2020

We're Back! I’m so incredibly excited to kick off a brand new season of The Glorious in the Mundane podcast in a brand new year! We are going to be walking through Psalm 119 together, the most elaborate of all the acrostic Psalms in the Bible! This beautiful (but kind of baffling) Psalm will not only walk us through the treasure that is the Hebrew ”Aleph-bet” but will also show us the invitation of God’s precepts, commands and even His “rules”! My hope is that you’re surprised all over again at the intentionality of our God, who longs to walk with His people! I’ll talk to you soon!

Episode 65 - Prayers of the Beloved Part 2 Nov 08, 2019

Check out "The Thrill of Hope Renewed" available now everywhere you listen to music!http://bit.ly/thrillofhoperenewedToday is Part Two of the series “Prayers of the Beloved,” continuing in this idea of enduring in this world! We’ll be talking about the “inheritance” the Lord bestows upon the Beloved - which is each other. As we journey together in community, there is real treasure in praying without ceasing for one another. We need each other! We’ll also lay some ground work on praying in this way. How do we pray without ceasing? How does the foundation of our prayers shift when we have the attributes of God on our hearts and lips? Excited to jump back in with you all as we continue to study prayer together! I’ll talk to you soon!

Episode 64 - Prayers of the Beloved Oct 23, 2019

Today is Part One of the “Prayers of the Beloved” that still settles well inside of our overall theme this Fall of enduring in a withering world! We’ve been building on the foundation of drawing near to the One who endures forever and I’d love for us to come around what it looks like to communicate in both awe and intimacy, with the Lord. We will talk about the boldness of the Beloved, that our confidence in His presence is built out from our identity as His children! Part One will lay a foundation for us in what it looks like to marry the head and the heart in prayer as well as experience the wonder and the “with-ness” (I just made that word up!) of our Father! We will explore what it looks like to “pray without ceasing” - maybe it’s a little more practical for our mundane than we’d expect! Grateful to dive in and LEARN more about prayer along with you! I’ll talk to you soon!- Christy

Episode 63 - The Message in the Middle Oct 02, 2019

HAPPY FALL Y’ALL! Let’s just hope that some FALL TEMPERATURES will come so that it might feel real! Today we are going to talk about appointed times and seasons and why it’s good for us to pay attention to these things in order to be intentional with beholding Who God is and becoming who He has made us to be! And, to endure in a withering world, may we have hearts that continually RETURN to the Lord in repentance! I’m SO excited to welcome back my dear friend Rebekah Lyons to the podcast as we celebrate her new book Rhythms of Renewal: Trading Stress and Anxiety for a Life of Peace and Purpose! It’s always sweet to sit down with Rebekah and reflect together! After watching her truly live these rhythms, it’s so fun to see how God is using her to help others enter into the REST that God offers us! I hope this episode is truly a BLESSING to you as you begin a brand new month! I’ll talk to you soon! - Christy

Episode 62 - The Message in the Middle Sep 18, 2019

I’m so loving this “message in the middle” to ENDURE as the people of God! Thankfully, it’s not a checklist because no one needs another one of those! Today we will remember that it flows out from drawing near to the One who endures forever, and cultivates in us a “beholding” heart! A heart that daily confesses, “Jesus, You are the Christ”, beholding Him for Who He truly is! And wouldn’t you know it...we BECOME what we behold! Gathering around this very truth with me is the beautiful Ruth Simons! Her new book “Beholding and Becoming: The Art of Everyday Worship” is absolutely gorgeous and is available everywhere today! I’m confident that you are so going to enjoy hearing from Ruth’s heart! I’ll talk to you soon!-Christy

Episode 61 - The Message in the Middle Sep 04, 2019

I’m so excited to be back for some special episodes this Fall! The Lord gave me this theme, “The Message in the Middle” and it started as something personal but then I realized that it’s really for all of us! If you’re anything like me, you might be trying to figure out - right about now - what it looks like to live purposely and intentionally inside of this withering world around us. What does it look like to remain faithful in the middle of it all? Here between the now and the not yet. Our spiritual reality is that we are in the middle of a war! What does it look like for us to steadily stand in the middle of it all? I’m realizing more and more that it is not only good, but vital, that we remind each other to stand firm, to remain, to stay…to last! But how do we do that? Listen in as we huddle up and remember how to draw near to the only One who lasts forever! You will also get to hear from my brother Eric Hill and his beautiful wife, Kristin (Amaryllis Kristin!) from @withyouministries as they talk about their beautiful new book called “The First Breakfast”. We’ve read all about the intimacy of The Last Supper and all that it symbolizes for us…Christ’s sacrifice that would change everything! But oh how beautiful, because of His great sacrifice, to come around the new beginning of His Resurrection! The First Breakfast is about the redemptive, merciful morning when Jesus offers breakfast on the beach as a way of showing that He has made all things new! I hope you’ll “come and have breakfast” with us as we draw near to Jesus together! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 3 Ep 60 - Taste and See with Margaret Feinberg May 22, 2019

It’s so sweet to be back with you on The Glorious in the Mundane podcast today! Today’s episode is called “Taste and See” as a part of our “Come Magnify the Lord with Me” series. I love this thought of magnifying the Lord together over the bounty of food. I know that food can be a touchy subject and isn’t it just like the enemy to make it a “thing” because all in all, God MADE IT A THING! It’s HIS THING and it’s FOR US in a big and beautiful way. Enjoy a conversation today with the brilliant, Margaret Freiburg as she takes us on a journey of savoring Christ through tasting and seeing that He is good and He is ENOUGH. I pray that today’s episode encourages you to stop and savor, to perceive and respond, to TASTE and SEE that God is abundant and He’s inviting you to LIVE from all that He is!

Season 3 Ep 59 - Eyes Up, Palms Up Apr 10, 2019

Today I decided to expound on my post on Instagram about “juggling” and can I just say, how much do you love that God can speak to us through juggling? Like actual juggling. He is amazing! As we continue our series called Come Magnify the Lord with Me, we will talk about what it looks like to keep our eyes lifted above what we’re juggling - all the things we’re carrying and trying to hold together - and instead, fix them on the Lord and His steadfast love over us. We’ll discuss the rhythm we can find in surrendering day to day, eyes up/palms up as we trust this God who holds us all together!

Season 3 Ep 58 - When Our Worries Turn To Worship Mar 27, 2019

Today we’ll remember once again what lessons we can take with us from Winter as we allow ourselves to HOPE for what Spring will bring! There’s something beautiful about giving ourselves permission to let HOPE rise up in our hearts because eventually, that HOPE begins to seep out on others! As we continue our series called, “Come Magnify the Lord With Me” we will acknowledge that we do have an enemy who loves to keep us isolated and silenced as he stirs the pot with our worries and fears. However, when we choose to turn our worries into worship, doors open, chains fall and we are blessed by getting to BLESS God in the midst of uncertainty! I will talk to you soon!

Season 3 Ep 57 - I Lift My Hands to You Mar 13, 2019

I’m so loving this theme, “Come Magnify the Lord With Me” as it’s reminding me that we are all MADE to worship. There’s something in us, deep down, that craves connection with God. It’s natural that we all desire the blessing of God on us and we even deeply need ministry from Him, we are human! Do I believe God blesses us and ministers to us? YES! But, there’s also something that we offer in worship that’s unique to WHO we are and that blesses and ministers to God in the most beautiful way! I was telling a friend of mine this week about the first time that I ever lifted my hands in worship. As I was talking about it, I realized that I lifted my hands to Him during a season of my life where He was bringing true restoration to some very broken things that my family had experienced. I was only 17. But I realized that lifting my hands in the moment was a very appropriate response, the more my friend and I talked about it. It was a present response, and we’ll even talk about this episode, that it was a biblical response. My prayer is that you’ll come alive as the worshiper that you were MADE to be as we learn what it looks like to magnify the Lord together! I’ll talk to you soon! - Christy

Season 3 Ep 56 - Come Magnify The Lord With Me Feb 27, 2019

NEW PODCAST TODAY! I’m SO excited to re-launch #thegloriousinthemundane podcast after a much needed break in January and am feeling refreshed to be back! I’m so excited to hone in on this theme of “Come Magnify the Lord with Me” - I love the invitation of Psalm 34:3, “oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.” Essentially, David is saying, “come join me in blessing the Lord.” What does it look like to bless the Lord? What happens in terms of our own blessing when we learn to bless him? I love that the Psalms are like this songbook of our identity as the people of God. We’re invited to respond both personally and corporately and I’m learning that both responses are essential in the life of the believer. I hope you’ll join me on this personal, worship journey for the next several months! It’s going to be beautiful!

Season 3 Ep 55 - A Better Home Dec 20, 2018

“A Better Home” is the title of today’s episode as we wrap up an amazing year together! We’ll dive into the heart of the home together and how sharing what we’ve been given can be true for anyone, in any economy, anywhere in the world! With eternity in our hearts, we’re both looking for a better home and a better country, all the while displaying it here in our own hearts! You’ll get to hear from the lovely Myquillyn Smith @thenester and her heart on sharing what we’ve been given and allowing our homes to be the backdrop for caring for others! I’ll share about our Georgia home being featured in Better Homes and Gardens as well as Country Living. (The photos here are from the BHG feature back in the October 2014 issue!) This is the last podcast for the year! I’m so grateful for all of you who have listened to the podcast this year, even those of you who are just getting started and catching up! You’ve made my life so rich with your kind words and your support and most of all, by sharing how God has spoken to you through it all! Much love to you! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 3 Ep 54 - Home, Home on the Road Dec 10, 2018

So excited about today’s episode! I’m calling it “Home, Home on the Road” and today we’ll be reminded that because God is a home for us and He’s building His home IN us…we are agents of CHANGE for the world around us! My sweet new friend, Ginna Claire Mason will be joining me today for this episode! She has just finished a 20 month tour with the Broadway Musical “Wicked” and knows a thing or two about finding a sense of home…home on the road. She truly embodies this beautiful theme of home and has been such a blessing to me in just the short time I’ve known her! I’m excited for you to meet her and I pray that you’re encouraged and that your faith gets built up for how God wants to use YOU as you hear her story! You know, it wasn’t until I really sat down and started preparing for this podcast that God whispered in even another layer of experiencing home on the road…it has a little something to do with that whole “agents of change” thing and I’m excited for you to hear about it and be encouraged by it! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 3 Ep 53 - The Invitation Nov 21, 2018

This is our Thanksgiving episode and I’m praying grace upon grace as you all head wherever you’re going! If you’re hosting Thanksgiving this year, it’s the same prayer…grace upon grace!! Today we will thank God together for how intentional he is in inviting us into a deeper walk with him! Sometimes the invitation comes through His Word or maybe our prayer time but sometimes it comes through a rough season or a major disappointment. I love when I find out that He was working all along, even when it seemed like he was disengaged! It’s beautiful how he entrusts us sometimes with rough seasons so that we can uncover the deeper invitation that he’s offering to us. He is so good! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 3 Ep 52 - A Heart Turned Towards Home Nov 07, 2018

Happy November Y’all! I’m so excited about today’s episode because you’re going to get to hear from my dear friend Molley Moody - she’s not just a guest today because she’ll be with us on our Night of Hope #AFamilyChristmas tour or the fact that she’s just released a beautiful album called #HeartSongs - of course all of those things are wonderful things that I want you to know about! She’s a guest today because Jesus is a trusted Builder who restores people’s lives! I’ve watched Molley rise up in her calling over the last few years and so much of that has happened because she chose to place her heart in the hands of Jesus. You’re going to hear about how Jesus restored some very broken places in her heart and has continually walked with her into freedom and wholeness in so many beautiful ways. You’ll hear her share about her prayer process in combating lies and fears and how she’s learned to invite Jesus in to help her daily believe truth in those places. You’re also going to hear one of her new songs called “Turnin’ Around” that she and I actually co-wrote together! I so hope you enjoy hearing Molley’s beautiful Jesus-story of freedom and restoration. I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 3 Ep 51 - A House God is Building Oct 24, 2018

Y’all, I’m so excited about this episode! As always, the Lord took me through something in REAL TIME where I basically LIVED this episode with something I was walking through personally. I’m so grateful when He does that. It keeps me walking in humility and depending solely on Him for the “content” as well as being assured that He’ll have me experience the content too! Yes, it exposes dead ends in the “home” that He is building in me where I need to trust His vision when He knocks out a wall! (whew!) We’ll look at Isaiah 54 together, this passage!! Oh, how it tears down any preconceived ideas of any sort of “cookie cutter house” that He wants to build in us! He’s the God of more. The One who puts windows in walls and staircases inside of one-story cottages! We can trust this Builder. You’ll also hear me sit down with my sweet friend Meshali Mitchell to talk about the RESTORATION journey that God is unfolding in her life! Through an unexpected story-line, God has shown Himself a trustworthy Builder who is carefully peeling back layers and making sure He restores things carefully and completely. It’s going to be a beautiful time together, I’ll talk to you soon!

Longing For Home - I’m loving this theme, THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME! It’s helping me be present in the place that matters right now, which is home! But that doesn’t mean I can’t take that WITH ME wherever I go! Today we will let Psalm 84 wash over us and remember together that “better is one day in His courts than a thousand elsewhere!” You’ll also get to hear from the lovely @jessicanturner on her brand new book “Stretched Too Thin: How Working Moms Can Lose the Guilt, Work Smarter and Thrive” I think we can all relate to being stretched too thin in different seasons of our lives, I know I can! I hope today’s episode encourages you RIGHT where you are! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 2 Ep 42 - How Can it be Time Already May 23, 2018

www.patreon.com/christynockelsToday we’re going to talk about what it looks like to cultivate the smaller reach of our lives instead of being overwhelmed that we’re not making a “huge impact”… Maybe we have big dreams for the future but what if instead of running after the the big thing, we spend time cultivating the smaller reach of our lives, weaving it strong and true. I’m going to introduce you to my niece @adelinehillmusic today who is pursuing a music career in the mainstream and let me tell you, the girl has something to SAY. I’ve gotten the privilege of getting to mentor Adeline since she was very young and I’ve watched her choose to be “made in the secret” when the doors weren’t quite opening yet. I’ve watched her cultivate the smaller reach of her life that has afforded her friendships and experiences she’ll carry for a lifetime. Her new song, “How Can It Be Time Already” is about realizing it’s already time to fly the nest but it’s been beautiful to watch it kind of sneak up on her, those of us who have been watching her closely! All that time being formed in the secret has paid off and it’s been sweet to watch her rise up in her gift! You will LOVE hearing from her heart, don’t miss it! AND…THIS IS THE LAST EPISODE for Season Two BUT REMEMBER you can join me for the summer on patreon.com for my Summer in the Psalms series…Living a Life of Worship in the Middle of the Mundane, we’d love to have you join us!

Season 2 Ep 41 - Special Guest Lauren Tomlin May 09, 2018

Special Guest - Lauren TomlinToday is a beautiful reminder that before we are a wife or a mama, we are a daughter with an invitation to take God up on all that He has for us, if we’ll just choose to step into it with Him. This episode is actually our Mother’s Day episode, but PLEASE don’t pass it up just because you are not a Mama! There’s something for EVERYONE in today’s episode! Today is actually one of my favorite interviews that I’ve gotten to do, to date! You’re going to get to hear from my beautiful friend Lauren Tomlin whom I’ve actually mentioned several times on this podcast before! She’s married to my friend Chris Tomlin and theirs is a story that has been incredible to watch unfold over the years. Married later in life, Lauren opens up about the invitation that marriage and parenthood has been to engage their hearts deeply with the Father. She is so transparent about accepting God’s invitation in it all, even through a lot of pain and trial, but how it’s changed the way they live with and love each other and their two beautiful daughters. Lauren and I teared up several times throughout this interview as we’d recognize some “full circle” moments and could clearly see the hand of God and His faithfulness right in front of us! Don’t miss this one! I’ll talk to you soon!

Season 2 Ep 40 - Postures of the Heart Part 5 Apr 27, 2018

“A Heart of Welcome” As we trust God with the unfolding of us, a heart of welcome opens up for the unfolding of others… I’ve shared these heart postures over the years in many settings and this is always the posture that’s the most fun to talk about because it’s the most fulfilling to LIVE! Something supernatural happens when we place our trust in God for our own wants, needs and desires and even the things that we dream and plan! We freely begin to open up with lives of WELCOME that invite others into our “familiar” with our Father. Here’s to the unfolding of all of us to be what God has always intended for us to be…His life extended to the world around us. His “welcome”! I’ll talk to you soon! - Christy

Season 2 Ep 38 - An Easter Invitation Mar 21, 2018

An Easter Invitation Once there was a cutting away and a grafting in, then…there must be an abiding.Today you’ll hear about a little pear tree that once helped me preach the gospel and how I wasn’t even ready for how it preached the gospel to me! We’re going to pause from our regular Heart Postures series to get our hearts around the full invitation that is Easter! Honestly, this could have easily been one of our heart-postures, the heart that abides…but I wanted to give Easter its own moment. I needed it and I hope it’s meaningful to you too! We will all most likely be joining Good Friday celebrations and Sunday Services, even maybe a picnic on the lawn…but the beauty of the gospel, front and center for us today is that right from your steering wheel or as you hit the pavement for your morning walk, you can experience Easter…the glorious in the mundane style!

Season 2 Ep 36 - Postures of the Heart Part 2 Feb 28, 2018

We’re going to look at the next “heart posture” today which is the heart that LOOKS UP! It sounds too simple, right? I actually think that God did intend for it to be simple but we live in a noisy world where we can SEE everything and we have to learn to clear the view… What does it look like to learn the habit of looking up and inviting God to LOOK AT YOU? What do we need to be looking to Him for? We’ll also learn that MOVEMENT IS HEALING! Just like our bodies need to move to heal, our hearts must also move towards our Creator. Sometimes it just takes looking up! These are all things we’ll talk about today as we take in what it means to have a heart postured towards Him, gazing at Him with the eyes of our soul. Look up with me! - Christy

Season 2 Ep 35 Postures of the Heart Part I Feb 14, 2018

Today I’ll update you on what’s been going on with my health journey that I posted it about a few weeks ago and why I’ve been kind of laying low! It has been just that, a journey, and I’m trusting with every day that God knows exactly what is going on! In the meantime, I’m SO happy to be back at the podcast! This is a series that I have wanted to do for a really long time called “The Posture of the Heart” and I’m so excited to dive into it together! Just like the concentric circles and the “bullseye” that I’ve shared about before, there’s an order to how we posture our hearts before God that gives way for MORE in our lives. But first we must start with the consecrated heart…a heart completely surrendered to Him no matter what is or isn’t on the horizon. I’ll share how having to trust God totally with my health these past few months has caused me to land on this first posture... I hope wherever you are at in your own journey that God uses this to speak to you today in a really powerful way! I’ll talk to you soon!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I’m hoping you’ll enjoy this one as you hit the road to visit family this week! I’m so excited to introduce to you today, my brother @eric.hill_ from @withyouministries as we talk about what it looks like to truly rest and remember that God is WITH US and how He calls us to step into the “mystery” of trusting that Him being with us is actually ENOUGH. Eric is one of my favorite humans! Yes, he’s my brother but he’s also a kindred spirit and a very dear friend. I am so excited for you to hear from someone who has inspired MANY songs (and has even co-written some with me!) on my journey and has really been one of THE most influential people in my life through the years. Eric has helped the gospel come ALIVE in my life in both creative and memorable ways! Eric will be joining @nathannockels and I on the Night of Hope Christmas tour coming up in just a few weeks!

Season 2 Ep 31 - Go and Tell No One Nov 08, 2017

I could not be more thrilled to introduce to you today, my sis-in-love @mrskristinhill who many of you know as "Amaryllis Kristin" AND who now can be called "author" as we celebrate her first bible study release "Go and Tell No One - Remember and Rest in the Secret and the Sacred." You'll get to hear how this message bubbled up in Kristin in the "secret place" that we talk about a lot on #thegloriousinthemundane podcast! You'll hear her share about this amazing invitation to be known, understood, and even affirmed in the Secret and Sacred as you walk with Him and dig deeper still into His Word. What I love about this study is that you'll learn HOW to study the Bible for yourself in a really practical and uncomplicated way! You'll also hear the story behind the song "All That is To Come" from Be Held - another weighty prayer that has lingered in my heart for some time now...learning to trust God with my past, my current "tension" and my "all that is to come". Tickets available for Night of Hope- bit.ly/noh_tour

Be Held - available wherever you listen to music!http://bit.ly/beheldalbumFirst of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your prayers and comments about our Annie Rose! We are so grateful to have had such a covering! She is doing amazing, back to being her sweet and spunky self, which feels miraculous to us, truly!! This podcast was recorded before all of that happened, so I just wanted to come around it here and thank you all again for going into battle for us! Today you'll hear the story behind the song, River of Grace, which started with me having a conversation with Annie Rose earlier this year... We'll delve into how surrender (though not easy) is really an invitation to rest at the riverside. When we cast our every care in that "river" we come back clean and free, so true and alive. Enjoy!

Season 2 Ep 28 - Peace! Be Still Sep 27, 2017

It’s such an exciting week for me as it’s RECORD RELEASE WEEK! Today you’ll hear more about the heart cry of this record, Be Held, Lullabies for the Beloved, releasing this Friday. You’ll hear about the scripture that has been imbedded into it, as well as hear the song, “In The Whisper”, which was the first full song that I wrote for this record seven months ago. The chorus says, “So let the thunder roll and I won’t be afraid ‘cause You roll the thunder and let the rain beat hard upon my roof and I’ll dance to it’s rhythm and let the mighty wind blow between the oak trees, as I let You steady me…cause You’re right here in the whisper, of my heart.” We’ll study life’s storms a little bit today, how even right in the middle of the most turbulent times of our lives we can invite the Master of the storm to say, “Peace! Be Still”, to every beat of our heart. We can also invite Him to usher in a “good work” right inside of the storm, one that we can pray falls on good soil in our hearts. Hope you’ll join us! I’ll talk to you soon.

Today we'll talk about how God can take even the smallest stirrings of our hearts and when we are faithful to sit with Him and listen and cultivate those stirrings, they can become a beautiful offering of His Kingdom coming to earth through us - displaying our "belovedness" to the world around us! Hear how the stirrings of my own life this past year have come together as an offering called "Be Held, Lullabies for the Beloved" and even hear the opening track called "His Banner Over Me is Love" - Enjoy!

Season 2 Ep 25 - Build My Life Aug 15, 2017

Hello all you beautiful people and welcome to The Glorious in the Mundane podcast - season 2! I couldn’t be more thrilled to be back with you as we have some beautiful “stirrings” to share as this season unfolds! Today will be a moment for us to reflect on the wonder of summer and the posture it brings and how we can intentionally carry that wonder and that posture with us as we walk into all that the Autumn brings. We’ll also dive deep into what it looks like, in the same way, to look back on our lives at the “wonder” threaded through - the ways that God has been calling to our hearts even since we were kids - and bring it back to the surface in our hearts…to look through it like a lens so we can see beyond the to-do list today, right into the glorious things that God wants us to see about Himself and even ourselves. You’ll also get to hear a sneak peak of the song I’ll be releasing THIS FRIDAY called BUILD MY LIFE! I’ll share around how I’ve been praying and living it like a prayer lately. My hope is that it will be a song that you’ll want to sing and pray in this season of your life as well! Enjoy!

GITM #24 Kay Warren May 11, 2017

Hello all you Beautiful People! Welcome to The Glorious in the Mundane podcast. I'm so happy to be dropping an episode in the merry month of May! It's great to connect with you, I've missed it! If you listened to my last podcast where I told you I'd be pausing for awhile because something was stirring in me...today you'll get to hear how sometimes we get hit by what feels like a freight train right after we announce that something is stirring in us! All in all it can only mean that the Lord doesn't mind, in fact, He seems to prefer us in a place of utter dependency on Him as something begins to stir. In order to create, to move forward, to grow....like the Peonies that finally appeared in my flower bed just in time for Mother's Day week...I've learned that our frailty attracts His majesty. It's an invitation for Him to come in and BE ALL to us and through us. Today you'll get to hear the lovely Kay Warren talk about that very frailty...but what a sacred privilege it is to partner with God in bringing His Kingdom to earth...as His strength is made perfect in our weakness.Enjoy!

GITM #23 Small Stirrings Mar 29, 2017

Welcome to The Glorious in the Mundane Podcast! I’m so excited to drop a little March episode on you to say “Happy Spring” to all of you! My family and I have been on Spring Break together in Southern California and what a beautiful beginning to Spring it has been! Today is a “Mini Me” episode updating you on where we’ve been and where we’re headed with the podcast and for those of you who have listened from the beginning, some more “bullseye” talk as we are reminded that small stirrings and starts are important and vital and that Jesus can work (in abundance) through what little we think we have today…as long as we are diligent to offer it to Him! I pray that you’re deeply encouraged today as you listen, that God knows right where you are, He sees you and loves you! I’ll talk to you soon! #thegloriousinthemudane

GITM #22 Broken and Free Feb 15, 2017

Hello all you beautiful people and welcome to the glorious in the mundane podcast! This is my first episode back for 2017 and I'll admit, it just took me a minute to get back in the flow. In fact, in this episode I just invite you into my process of sort of putting one foot in front of the other to even deliver this podcast today! I think sometimes we just forget what we are capable of and we end up keeping the creative process at bay or even just things we need to get done. I hope it encourages you right where you are that you have what it takes! Then, eavesdrop on a little "huddle" that happened at IF Gathering a few weeks ago about the #brokenandfreetour that @annvoskamp and @rebekahlyons are embarking on next week! We hope to see you there! www.brokenandfreetour.com

GITM #21 2016 Wrap Up Dec 23, 2016

Welcome to The Glorious in the Mundane podcast! This is the last podcast of 2016 and what a year it has been!! Some of you are ready to kiss it goodbye...some of you are savoring every last moment! Either way, listen in as I sort of take us back to how this podcast even began this year, in that “bullseye” space with Jesus… We'll reflect together on the year and talk about what it looks like to physically HIDE for a few days as the year ends...but also how to stay in that hidden place with Jesus, even when you emerge into 2017! And, if you haven’t heard #thethrillofhope (My new Christmas album) you’ll get to enjoy a song from it! Merry Christmas everyone! Love to you and yours!

GITM #20 Chris Tomlin Dec 08, 2016

Welcome to the Glorious in the Mundane Podcast! Today I’m going to share around what it has been like to get to share some of these songs from The Thrill of Hope, live! I’ve been teary eyed as I’ve shared the stories and the songs and it has been equally as meaningful to get to speak to some of you out on the road after the concerts - of what these songs have meant to you! And…our special guest today is the one and only Chris Tomlin! Chris and I have been friends for 20 years now and so much life has happened in those years and its just fun for us to sit and reminisce! We’ll talk about what married life is like now for Chris and of course him becoming a father of two in the past 5 years. It has been a beautiful whirlwind to watch, let me tell you! I hope you enjoy hearing from someone whose songs have probably graced your car or your daily jog and got you communicating to a living God who loves you! Enjoy!

GITM #19 Ann Voskamp Nov 17, 2016

Welcome to the Glorious in the Mundane podcast! Today I am so excited to be sitting down with the lovely Ann Voskamp! I caught Ann while she was in town on her book release tour a few weeks ago while she was staying with our mutual friend Rebekah Lyons. I love this podcast because it was SO last minute, so off the cuff and REALLY late at night. We did actually have to edit out quite a bit of laughter because at one point we got a little bit delirious! I loved asking Ann what life was like BEFORE her first book…what was an everyday life like on the farm before there were things like book tours in her life! We also of course get into a little bit about her new book called The Broken Way, which I fell in love with the title RIGHT away! I love Ann’s poetic style of LIFE in general but also how raw she is and transparent. It’s really beautiful. Also, you’ll get to hear our special announcement at the end of the podcast, so don’t miss it! Thank you for tuning in today!

GITM # 18 Matt Redman Nov 08, 2016

Welcome to the Glorious in the mundane podcast! Today I am so excited to share an interview with my friend and fellow songwriter Matt Redman. Nathan and I have been friends with Matt for about 16 years now and have been continually inspired and challenged by Matt’s leading and songwriting through the years. Known for songs like “Blessed Be Your Name” “Better is One Day” and of course “10,000 reasons.” Matt’s gifts have been just that - a gift to the Church and to homes around the nations as His songs help us say what we long and desire to say to our Savior. Nathan and I have been privileged through the years to get to travel with Matt and his band quite a bit and I always take note and learn from Matt’s leading. He truly understands the importance of leading God’s people in worship and I’ve never seen Him take it lightly, even when he’s tired from all his international flying, He always takes a moment to lead us as a team in prayer and reflection before we go out and lead the masses together. I so appreciate the depth of Matt’s songwriting and I hope you enjoy hearing some of the stories around some of his beloved songs!Enjoy!

GITM #14 Mini Me Oct 12, 2016

Welcome to The Glorious in the Mundane Podcast! Today we’re going to talk about the great lengths that our Father will go to to pull us back close to Himself. We might wander but He doesn’t let us wander for long before He sends us life-lines… I can’t even tell you how true Proverbs 16:9 has been these past few weeks, well, years actually... “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord directs their steps.” Even just this past week, we have had more plans unravel than I was prepared for! It took a lot of work sifting through the changes but In the end though, we ended up right where we needed to be. Like right now, I was supposed to be somewhere else even in this very moment and my plans unraveled to the degree that I’m now sitting on my front porch in a rocking chair enjoying the most gorgeous Fall weather I’ve seen this year. It’s just the best, unexpected surprise. I hope that today you’re reminded that your Father will do what it takes to lead you back to Himself. I’m sure He grins at our plans at times and does think they are quite honorable but in the end, I think He loves to direct our steps to a place of rest more than anything. I’ve learned that it’s ok to make plans and to move forward with plans but it’s also more than ok when they unravel… Enjoy today’s “Mini Me” with a special song by @benbannister that I hope you all adore!

GITM #11 Mini Me Sep 21, 2016

Hello and welcome to The Glorious in the Mundane! Today you’re going to experience what I have affectionally been calling a “Mini Me” - that means today is a shorter episode and it’s just me! As I shared on the episode a few weeks ago, this is kind of my book at this point in my life! I have stories that I’d love to to share from life, marriage, motherhood, ministry and I figure, why not? I think it’s a gift that we can spread Truth and our Jesus stories around for all to hear and I want to take full of advantage of it!Today you’ll hear me share more about living from your our true selves and what it means for us and honestly, what it means for other people around us! You’ll hear the story behind a song very near and dear to my heart called “For Your Splendor”. I pray that you are encouraged right where you are today to live from your true self…even the broken places of your story…so that you might see others! You have so much more to offer than you even realize!Enjoy and have a glorious day!Christy

Welcome to the Glorious in the Mundane podcast! Thank you so much for tuning in and for sharing this podcast with your friends! It has been so much fun for us to watch who all is listening around the globe, it has astounded us how God is using it! We’re so grateful! I’m so pleased to have gotten to sit down with Bob Goff for this episode! I’ve actually been holding on to this episode for quite some time as it was actually my FIRST podcast ever! Bob was SO gracious to come out to the house and sit around the table with me and some of my team. We had a blast hearing his stories that continue to challenge me to this day! Bob sent me a package this week…the kids have opened a Bob Goff care package before and so this time they recognized the fun, frizzy paper, the colored balloons and taffy that cushions whatever it is he has sent your way! In this case…it was a large, red, Christmas jingle bell ornament to celebrate that our Christmas record project is funded and is having the finishing touches put on it even now! We are so beyond grateful for everyone who has invested in this project. We pray that it is as special to all of you as it is to us! Enjoy today’s episode as I connect around the table with my friend, Bob Goff and have a glorious day! ~Christy

GITM #9 Beth Moore Aug 23, 2016

Welcome to The Glorious in the Mundane podcast everyone! Today my special guest is the lovely Beth Moore and I could not be more thrilled about it! Beth has been a dear friend through the years and I'm excited for you to hear from her and even how we met years ago and what she's meant in my life. I'm so honored that she took the time to sit with me and catch up. I'm also honored that Ms Beth ordered my favorite Mexican food called Lupe Tortilla (in Houston) for our after podcast treat! I love Beth so much and it was such a joy to get to be with her and her sweet team of ladies at Living Proof!Today you'll also hear me give a tribute to my mom and dad, who just celebrated their 50 wedding anniversary. We got to celebrate with them in Oklahoma this past weekend. We gathered with family and their college reunion friends to surprise them with a night to remember. My Mom and Dad were my first worship leaders as a child. The first people to point me to Jesus. Even in trying seasons, as a couple, I watched them surrender everything to Jesus, which was the best thing I could have seen growing up...surrender. Enjoy a "homecoming" today as you'll hear clips from the anniversary party, the songs we sang, the fun we had... This will go down as one of my favorites! Enjoy!

GITM #8 Ellie Holcomb Aug 10, 2016

Welcome to the Glorious in the Mundane podcast! Thank you for tuning in week after week! I have been so humbled to get to sit down with so many sweet and amazing people over the past few months, it has been like drinking from a well! Today is no exception. I’m so glad that if you’ve never heard of Ellie Holcomb that you’re going to be introduced to her and her music or maybe if you’ve listened to Ellie for quite some time, you’ll get a little glimpse into her heart and her world. Ellie and her husband Drew (of Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors) are both incredibly talented musicians and singer/songwriters and you’ll even hear Ellie featured on many of Drew’s albums as well. Ellie’s dad, Brown Bannister was the producer of many early (and very successful) Christian artists like the Imperials, Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman so she was raised around good, soul music her whole life. So it’s no surprise that Ellie just knows how to skillfully mesh the Word of God with that kind of music…the kind that seeps into your soul.You’ll also hear me share around the thought (and the scripture) that “all is ours in Christ” - which unfolds more of this posture of sitting in that bullseye place and living and even loving from this place. You’ll hear me even share some vulnerable moments as a Mom, leading my girls through life’s hardest question as a woman… Enjoy!

GITM#7 Audrey Assad Aug 03, 2016

Hello and welcome to the Glorious in the Mundane podcast! Today, you’ll get to hear some random thoughts around Sabbath and what that has meant to me lately both as a state of mind and literally physically learning how to HAVE as Sabbath each week. Having an actual Sabbath puts this whole “Bullseye living” thing in a whole new light! You’ll hear about our family putting it to practice this past Sunday…just a little glorious humor for your mundane today. You’ll also hear about a little adventure that I recently embarked on with a couple of friends and how God showed up and surprised me in the sweetest way. And I’m also thrilled to play a song today on the podcast! I promise to do more of this in the future, including my own songs, but today you will get to hear what I think is one of the most beautiful songs ever! It was written by two friends of mine, Bryan Brown and today’s guest, Audrey Assad! Audrey is a singer, songwriter, worship leader, wife, mom and entrepreneur. She’s an independent artist like myself now but has recently started her own record label with her husband and is totally killing it. (Mom, that means she’s doing amazing!) I hope you enjoy hearing her honesty and transparency about everything in her life but particularly about becoming a mom. It’s truly insightful and beautiful. If you didn’t know Audrey before this, I hope this makes you a fan! Enjoy!

GITM #6 Jennie Allen Jul 28, 2016

Welcome to The Glorious in the Mundane podcast! Today you’ll hear some rumblings around my first Christmas record currently in the making! I can’t tell you how life giving it has been, especially during some very dark days in our country, to be writing around the HOPE of Jesus. You will hear some familiar classics on this project but you’ll also hear what I hope will be some new classics centered in the person of JESUS. And…one my favorite moments of the little Texas podcast run that I did last month was getting to hang at the IF Gathering offices in Austin and sit down with my friend, Jennie Allen! Jennie is the author of “Anything” and “Restless”, two books that I know without a doubt that have literally changed people’s lives. On top of being an author and a speaker, Jennie is a mover and a shaker and is the leader of IF Gathering... a movement that exists to equip women to live in the full purpose God has for them. She’s also a Mama of 4 and wife to Zac and over all about as feisty as they come…and I’ve come to love that about her and I know you will too. Enjoy!

GITM #5: Jamie Ivey Jul 20, 2016

Welcome to the Glorious in the Mundane podcast, I hope you are having an amazing week! I’m so happy to have gotten to sit down with the lovely Jamie Ivey a few weeks ago on my Texas podcast run… Jamie is beloved in the IF Gathering community of women and is one of those people who I share numerous mutual friends with but we have never really gotten to sit and chat. I met Jamie at the first IF Gathering in Austin, TX when I led worship with her husband Aaron literally only a few hours after meeting him! They are an incredibly influential team of a couple in Austin but now God is literally using Jamie all over the place through her own podcast called The Happy Hour. In my earliest moments of breathing out the idea of wanting to do a podcast, several of my friends said, “you have to listen to Jamie!” I did, and was so inspired by her style and her ease and the way she has championed so many incredible women who are doing so many incredible things! Jamie has been a cheerleader to me through this process, even a couple of texts like “oh my gosh, I’m so proud of you!” and it has meant the world to me! I think the posture in starting anything is to look at who is already doing it well and LEARN from them! So, my interview with Jamie today you’ll find is 100% true respect and intrigue for what made her want to start a podcast and really just me being truly blown away by how well she’s going about it! I hope you enjoy my time around the table today with Jamie Ivey. Find out about all things Jamie Ivey on her website www.jamieivey.com. You can find a link to the song Holding You Together that I spoke about here: http://christynockels.com/happy-mothers-day/

GITM #4: Lauren Chandler Jul 13, 2016

Hello and welcome to the Glorious in the Mundane podcast! Today I’ll talk a little bit about the week we have just had in our nation - one we will never forget - I’m sure there are all kinds of prayers and songs rising up from the people of God over this but one that kept coming to my heart was a song that I wrote several years ago called “By Our Love”…Brothers, let us come togetherWalking in the SpiritThere’s much to be doneWe will come reaching, out from our comfortsAnd they will know us by our love…Sisters, we were made for kindnessWe can pierce the darknessAs He shines through usWe will come reachingWith a song of healingAnd they will know us by our loveThe time is now,Come Church ariseLove with His hands,See with His eyesBind it around youLet it never leave youAnd they will know us by our loveChildren, you are hope for justiceStand firm in the truth nowSet your hearts aboveYou will be reachingLong after we’re goneAnd they will know you by your love…I’m so grateful to say that my guest today is the beautiful Lauren Chandler. She is such a dear friend to me. Lauren and her husband Matt live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area with their 3 children, 2 horses and 2 dogs, and Matt pastors The Village Church where Lauren regularly leads worship. Lauren is a wonderful woman, a lover of Jesus, a singer, songwriter and now author…but my favorite thing selfishly is that she’s my friend. Today you’ll get to hear how God intersected our lives at just the right moment about 14 years ago and how God used her in such a sweet way to change my life. Enjoy!

GITM #3: Angie Smith Jul 05, 2016

Hello beautiful people and welcome to The Glorious in the Mundane podcast! Thank you so much or tuning in last week. We have been having an absolute blast putting all of this together! In fact, I just got back home from a week long podcast tour in Texas. We visited Dallas, Austin and Houston with a quick pit stop at the Magnolia Silos to grab us a Cowboy Coffee and some inspiration of course…In today’s episode I’m going to share one of my favorite stories from this journey and honestly one of my favorite stories about my husband, Nathan. You’ll get to hear more about how God began to come after my heart like never before in terms of trust and surrender. The thing was, I thought I was surrendered to Him but really it was just the beginning of me understanding how to truly open my hands and my heart to Him. It’s also sweet after all this time to look back and see God’s faithfulness! It’s so hard and scary to give up precious things but God has a way of giving them back 100 fold somehow...Also, I’m so pleased to say that my special guest today is the gorgeous Angie Smith! Angie and I have been friends for quite some time, long before she started a blog and became an author! You’re going to get to hear two friends sit and remember and laugh and marvel at God’s faithfulness. I also think you’ll enjoy hearing how we met and even hear about a special role that she played in our lives before she became an author! I don’t think you would be able to guess it if you tried! Enjoy!

GITM #2: Annie Downs Jun 28, 2016

Hello there beautiful people and welcome to The Glorious in the Mundane podcast!I’m pleased to announce that today’s special guest is a new friend of mine, Miss Annie Downs. I’ve gotten to know her over the past few years as we’ve gotten to serve together on the platform but also because we have several mutual friends here in the Nashville area.Annie released a book just this past April called Looking for Lovely. I read it while on a plane headed to the Cayman Islands, a getaway I take with close friends every year, and it was just what I needed to open my heart and mind to what God would have for me as I unplugged. Annie’s “voice” is just effortless to take in as a reader and that means a lot to me since I have attention span issues, ha ha. It was a joy to read and it made me think through some things that I had not thought through before. I always love it when I discover an age old truth for the first time or at least get the chance to think about it in a whole new way.I’m grateful that Annie has been faithful to share her story. My opinion is that you can’t truly learn from someone unless they are being honest. Every good teacher or even storyteller has to incorporate enough transparency for the message to unfold in the way its intended. Annie was brave to do that and actually does that when you’re just chatting with her as well. It’s refreshing…So here’s Annie and I at my kitchen table in Franklin, TN. Enjoy!

Glorious In The Mundane Podcast - Intro Jun 27, 2016

Well, as I mentioned on Instagram, I couldn’t be more giddy about the launch of this podcast! It has been a long time dream of mine to make this happen, one that I hadn’t mentioned to very many people. I honestly didn’t think it was a possibility for me so it’s just so exciting to actually see it unfold! I want to thank my husband Nathan for encouraging me from the moment I breathed out the idea and to my manager, Matt Guice for literally carrying it into fruition. I’m every grateful.In this segment you’ll be able to listen to the story behind the theme, how it all came about several years ago and why it has burned on my heart all of these years. Any time I get to teach, I usually teach on it because it’s something that I find that most everyone can relate to… We all sense that we are made for more and we have dreams and plans for Kingdom things but often we work from a place of exhaustion because we’re ultimately looking to ourselves and our performance to keep ourselves “on the map” in terms of relevance, culture and spirituality. I’d love to share just from my own experience and honestly, my own failure at times to trust God through the years as my Provider…but how God really got a hold of me several years ago and changed my mentality and honestly how I think and process "big things” and how I see the seemingly small things in a whole different way.What you’ll find in “The Glorious in the Mundane” podcast is a segment from me each time, sharing around this theme, then we’ll dive in with some very special people along the way to see what’s going on in their world but to also come around this theme in their own stories in some ways.I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I am! Thank you so much for tuning in...Talk to you soon,Christy
