“I Know I Should Slow Down and Rest, But…” with Christy Nockels

If you’ve ever felt the tension between ministry demands and soul-deep exhaustion, this conversation is for you. In this episode of the Ministry Wives podcast, host Amy Petersen sits down with worship leader, songwriter, author, and podcast host Christy Nockels for an honest conversation about burnout, calling, and what it means to move from living for God to living from God. Join Christy as she shares her personal journey through a season of extreme exhaustion that led her to step away from her career for five years—and how God used that interruption to reshape her understanding of identity, rest, and what it means to truly receive the love of her heavenly Father. Together, Amy and Christy unpack what it looks like to slow down in a life that still feels full, how to discern the yeses and no’s of ministry, and how to practice simple, daily rhythms of consecration, confession, and communion with God. If you’re feeling tired, overwhelmed, or are quietly wondering if rest is even possible for you, this conversation will help you re-center your life on the “bullseye” of God’s presence—and lean into His grace in the middle of the unknown. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why rest often feels impossible in ministry life The difference between living for God vs. living from God What it means to feel like a “commodity” in ministry—and how God restores identity Simple, daily practices for abiding with God in the midst of a full life And more! Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Life You Long For: Learning to Live from a Heart of Rest by Christy Nockels The Glorious in the Mundane Podcast Christy’s Substack—launching soon!

Season 1, Episode 1: The Church's Credibility Crisis

When we see leaders fall by the wayside either because of life or doctrine, the pain cuts in many directions all at once, with a lot of hurt left in the wake. The long-term effect of this kind of failure is a diminishing of the credibility of the church. Will God fail because of human weakness? No. But the church’s failures can become obstacles in the path of those who don’t yet know God or can cause believers to stumble in their faith. The spiritual fallout can be devastating. On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he tackles a problem that has been decades in the making.
