Summary

In today’s episode, Rachel is joined by the talented singer-songwriter and podcast host Christy Nockels. You might know Christy for her moving music, her podcast Glorious in the Mundane, or her latest project—an album called A King Who Never Sleeps: Anthems for Rest. Rachel and Christy catch up in a cozy Nashville studio, reflecting on real-life connections, their shared experience at Lost Valley Ranch, and what it means when unexpected passions—like horseback riding—shape who we are. They dive deep into themes of rest, growth in hard seasons, and the gentle ways we can all care for ourselves and our families through sacred rhythms. Stream Christy’s new album on June 6 whenever you listen to music!!
