Casey J is an award-winning singer, producer and worship leader, and she loves coaching worship leaders to go deep in their relationship with God so that they can lead others well. In today’s episode, Casey talks about how we think saying ‘yes’ to God in the valley means that things will work out better, even faster, for us… but it’s during those times that our faith is stretched.

In this episode, Christy says that we are worshippers and we’re all worshipping something… and we’re really good at it. But sometimes it’s not always God that we’re worshipping. We often replace him with other things. And sometimes, if we’re not careful, we can even worship our own trauma – yikes! In this conversation, Christy helps us to reframe the idea of worship so that we can worship the right thing: the God who sees us and gives us courage to endure whatever we’re walking through.  Connect with Christy:Instagram | YouTube | Spotify | PodcastWebsite: ChristyNockels.comListen to ‘This Is The Hour’ Purchase Christy’s book: ’The Life You Long For: Learning to Live from a Heart of Rest’ Watch podcast episodes on YouTube!Connect with Toni: Personal Instagram | Broken Crayons Instagram | FacebookNewsletter: ToniJCollier.com/NewsletterWebsite: ToniJCollier.comPurchase Toni’s children’s book: Broken Crayons Still ColorPurchase Toni’s book: Brave Enough to be BrokenWant to partner with Toni or advertise on the podcast?

The theme of Season 4 is "Worshipping When it Hurts." It's easy to worship God when everything is going good, but when it's not... when anxiety and depression comes, or when trauma rears its ugly head, or when the enemy looks for ways to tempt us with our addictions... it's difficult to worship an unseen God. This season, Toni will have conversations with friends, singer-songwriters and worship leaders who've been through hard things, and who have fought to continue worshipping Him even when it hurts. We can't wait for you to hear these conversations! Here's to another season of the Still Coloring podcast!Want to partner with Toni and advertise on the podcast? Reach out here.
