Glorious in the Mundane Podcast with Christy Nockels Christy Nockels

Okay, so this one made me weepy! Today we’ll be in Psalm 118 which is a part of the Hallel—a collection of six Psalms (113-118) that have been sung and recited on joyous occasions and festivals all throughout Israel’s history. We’ll remember together that Jesus would have sung these very Psalms as a little boy, as well as his disciples, and Psalm 118 was sung by Jesus and his disciples together just before they made their way to the Mount of Olives. It’s this beautiful picture of the power of worship when it’s rooted and grounded in timeless Scripture, but then experienced in the very presence of Jesus! 

May we be a part of the true worshipers who will worship in Spirit and in Truth, singing about God, TO God! Letting a new song arise in us, from our hearts to His. I’ll talk to you soon!

Today we’re in beautiful Psalm 19 where we’ll remember together that God set revelation in the heavens that is pouring out promise over us day and night, night and day!

This kind of framework, His order, His heart, His way, postures us to look into His rules, even His boundaries for us. To heed their warning—yes—but to also know the great reward in keeping His way! Certainly one of the greatest rewards is His very presence and even confession and repentance can afford us a closeness with Him that we might not find any other way! I’ll talk to you soon!

Today I’m going to tell you about some home renovations that Nate and I have embarked on this summer, just to let you in on a little bit of our world and the DIY adventures that we find ourselves swimming in! 

With all that going on, the Psalms have kept a steady STIRRING in me and I pray the Lord has used them in the same way for you! 

Today we will be in Psalm 66 together where we will explore the beautiful declaration of, “As for me, I will tell what He has done for my soul.” We’ll talk about leaning in with intentionality to tell God what He has done, as well as others! 

Yes, we’ll be reminded of the importance of surrounding ourselves with people who we experience Truth with. Friends who say, “Come and listen, let me tell you what He has done for me!”

I’ll talk to you soon!

In celebration of my husband Nathan’s brand new album “Everywhere the River Goes” (available anywhere you listen to music!) we’re going to talk about this River and the beauty of staying within the River’s reach all the days of our lives! In fact, we’ll use the song titles to give us a grid for what this River’s work looks like in us and through us. 


There’s mention of this River in Psalm 46, today’s Psalm, as well as in Ezekiel 47. We’ll look at aspects of both of these beautiful passages that remind us of the teeming life that only God can give us and how important it is to stay near Him to flourish! I’ll talk to you soon!

Last week we talked about a holy resolve, when we have a shift in perspective upon remembering what is TRUE about God, about ourselves and the world around us. This week we’re going to sit in a bit of a holy tension together in Psalm 88, which is a passage that’s not easy to get comfy in!

But I am so excited to tell you that we have a VERY special guest joining us today! Adrienne Camp is going to lead us in coming around our Psalm for this week and I know you’re going to LOVE hearing from her! I got word that she has just released a beautiful bible study called As For Me: Life Through the Lens of the Psalms (available now everywhere you buy books!) and you know I had to have her join us! 

You are going to love the richness of her heart and life as she shares about the freedom in Christ that is ours when we trust God and look to Him and invite Him to work in our lives…even through hardship and struggle! I’ll talk to you soon!

I’m SO THRILLED that the SUMMER IN THE PSALMS series is back! I have needed this in my own life!! The lazy days of summer can be wonderful, but I find that it’s easy to drift from my rhythm of staying grounded in truth if I’m not careful. I hope this series meets you right on time in the same way! 

Today we’ll look at Psalm 73 together. It’s about as honest as it gets, I love it! We can glean so much from it as we witness the Psalmist sing of his struggle but most importantly, we get to see where he goes to find answers. 

The Psalmist is looking around him and things just don’t make sense. He has been careful to keep his life pure, but his only reward seems to be pain and turmoil. Yet, he looks around and sees people who don’t care a thing about God or His ways and they seem to have it all together! 

He assures us that he was tempted to say out loud 
what was REALLY in his head and his heart concerning his bitterness but—thankfully for you and me—he chooses a different path, a better resolve. One that you and I can see for ourselves today as we navigate a perplexing hour! I’ll talk to you soon!
