Summary

If God asked you to take a step back from something you truly loved to rest more fully in His love, could you do it? This thought-provoking, and maybe even challenging, question is where we pick up the podcast this week. And I’m joined by author, worship leader, and mother of three Christy Nockels, who knows first hand what it means to transform the soul by learning to rest. She shares the full story in her new book The Life You Long For: Learning to Live from a Heart of Rest (available February 16), but I’m delighted to have her on the show today to share what she’s learned throughout the years as she embraced the sacrifices the Lord asked her to make. Some of my favorite highlights from our conversation include: How the challenges of 2020 ultimately forced us to rest and reevaluate the meaningful things in our lives, including our relationship with God and family What caused Christy to completely change how she interacts with those around her Why we should look for opportunities to lead ourselves back into the heart of rest (and how to identify them!) Favorite quotes: 1. There’s a hustle that actually holds us back. Our hustling ends up preventing the supernatural work of God in our lives. 2. He called me home to take care of my kids so I can be his kid again. 3. So often I think He leads through our desires. 4. If you just hit the bullseye, God will take care of all the outer rings of your life and God will show you his glory. In this episode I answer these questions: 1. What’s a simple change I can make in my conversations that will help me seem more confident? (39:03) 2. Why does God not answer some prayers? (40:30) 3. Do I need to create a business plan for my new business? (43:02) Great things we discussed: 1. Christy Nockles2. The Life You Long For 3. Heart Of Worship4. Iron Man5. Abiding In Christ6. The Ruthless Elimination Of Hurry 7. Kieh's Epidermal Re-texturizing Micro Dermabrasion 8. Knives Out 9. Soul 10. Standing Strong Hope you loved this episode!

0:00.0	Hey, hey, this is Allie and welcome to the Allie Worthington show.
0:06.7	It's where we gather, learn, share our stories, and have a great time.
0:10.8	Every week I'll be chatting with a friend who I know, who I like and I respect,
0:15.4	and I want to learn something from.
0:17.3	And after we have that discussion, we are going to have coaching time.
0:20.2	So I'm going to be
0:20.8	answering your questions about life, about faith, and about business. Welcome to the show today.
0:26.9	I'm with the lovely Christy Knuckles. She's a new friend for me, but someone that I felt like I knew
0:32.6	for years because I feel like we've been co-leading worship together in my car. She is so fun. We felt like old
0:40.8	friends immediately, and I think you are absolutely going to love her. We dive into lessons that
0:46.9	she learned throughout the years, the sacrifices that God asked her to make. You know,
0:51.9	anytime anyone's like, so here's what God asked me to do,
0:54.3	and here's what happened. You know, I'm all about that. And the lessons that she learned from those

1:11.7	business. The live question this week is, what's a simple change I can make in my conversations
1:17.2	that will help me seem more confident? It's a good one. And the faith question is, why does God not
1:22.4	answer some prayers? Boy, we could talk about that for weeks, but I'll give it a shot today.
1:28.2	And the business question is, do I need to create a business plan for my new business?
1:32.9	I have a lot to say about that.
1:35.2	And I'm so excited to get to tell you that I have a Valentine's Day gift guide this year.
