Sometimes our desire to serve God can overshadow our delight in simply being with Him.

Well, when God called Christy Knockels to lay down her ministry for a season, she was forced to confront how her sense of purpose and worth had become tangled up in her work.

But what she gained was the benefit of an empowering surrender that let her live as God's beloved.

Oh, my people, on today's episode, award-winning singer-songwriter Christy Knockels is going to show us how to let go of hustle and achievement and instead find our identity in the quiet center of God's love.

This conversation is full of practical encouragement and biblical wisdom, so let's get to it.

Welcome to the 413 podcast where practical encouragement and biblical wisdom set you up to live the I can life because you can do all things through Christ who strengthen you.

Welcome our friends. I'm Jennifer here to help you be and do more than you feel capable of as you live this I can life.

Oh, okay.

Okay, so I just, you know, I like everything to have a beginning and an end.

Well, you're a woman of much accomplishment.

I admire your hustle. I really truly do.

Yeah, well, we're talking about hustle today with Christy Knockels, so here you go.

Oh, well, I'm a huge fan of Christy because she helped me pick out my little girl's name.
