If you are a fan of Watermark, then you probably know the name, Christy Nockels. The genuinely beautiful person with a beautiful voice.
In 2005, Christy and her husband, Nathan, made the decision to close the Watermark chapter in their lives and devote themselves to their family.
“It was during this revealing season that Christy became even more convinced of her calling. “My cause in life is to be a songwriter for my generation to proclaim Jesus’ renown,” she says. But what she didn’t know was how to pursue that desire while fulfilling her highest calling.
“God stripped a lot away and taught me that He is the desire giver. When I didn’t think I’d ever record again on a label, He showed me, ‘Christy, if you focus on your children and your husband, I will take up your cause.’ “
Several years later, Christy began working on her solo debut, Life Light Up. It is an album that reflects her growth, her focus on God, and her faith.
“I’d always written songs to sing over people, but these new songs are songs to sing with people, to lead people in worship. It was amazing confirmation, and out of that came a trust that I can still lead my generation and be a mom…”
Christy’s album is a testament to what happens when you surrender the desires that you have for yourself and allow God to show you what He has in store for your life.
It isn’t just in song that Christy is able to speak to our hearts. Christy has also found another way to share with other moms. In her two devotional videos, Christy Nockels speaks to moms about tackling all of our day to day activities, while also making sure we set aside time for God. She reminds us to invite the glorious into the mundane.
I hope that you enjoy her videos. I found them to be very inspiring.

When you don’t know how to do things in life that you were not prepared for, You can trust the Holy Spirit. My mentor continually taught me, when you don’t know how you can trust the Holy Spirit to…
TEACH YOU FROM WITHIN. Just ask him.
Christy said the same thing with different words.
Well done Christy.
Great music! Thank you!
