My natural reaction is to CONTROL my kids and I wish that wasn’t the truth. I know that the best thing for them and for me is to surrender all of it to God every day. Why is this so hard for me? Do you also struggle with wanting to control and hold onto your kids? Join me today as I chat with Christy Nockels about this idea of surrendering our kids through various seasons. Christy has been writing songs and leading worship for more than 30 years. She is a wife and a mom living in the Nashville, TN area. My favorite part about Christy is her humility. Jesus just oozes through her music and her life.My favorite part is how she shares a couple of practical ways you can still connect with your kids as adults. And don’t forget to put her new album King Who Never Sleeps on repeat in your car and kitchen. It will feel like a balm to your soul.Enjoy!Courtney (00:00) Introduction to Christy Nockels(02:55) The Heart Behind the New Album(05:43) Lessons in Surrender and Trust(08:26) Navigating Parenting Transitions(11:09) The Power of Prayer in Parenting(14:14) Being Present in the MomentPrefer video?
