Unseen Leadership Episode 53: Christy Nockels on Resting in God as a Leader

In this episode of the Unseen Leadership podcast, Chandler Vannoy and Josh Hunter are joined by Christy Nockels who is a wife, mother, podcaster, and worship leader for global movements like Passion Conferences and IF:Gathering. And she is also now an author with her debut book The Life You Long For. During their conversation, they discuss how to rest in God as a leader, how to protect ourselves from comparison, and the benefits of collaboration in leadership. QUOTES FROM EPISODE 53: “I was living for God, but I found myself in a place where I didn’t know how to live from God.” “We need to learn to live from a heart of rest, and when I say rest, I don’t just mean weekly Sabbath. I mean a soul rest.” “Resting in God is a posture of trusting God to make a way for us and not hustling for it on our own.” “When you live from your own belovedness, you lead from a place for contending and fighting for it in others.” “As leaders, it is easy to “yes” ourselves into exhaustion.” “I’ve tried to view social media as a place of serving others instead of feeding my soul.” “It is a gift to be able to collaborate with others.” RESOURCES MENTIONED The Pursuit of God by A.W.
