Ever feel like you're more valued for what you do than who you are? Like you're just a commodity in your local church?

You're not alone. And honestly—that experience can be incredibly disheartening. Sure, we'd love for leaders to change, but that's not always realistic. Sometimes the responsibility is on us.

In this conversation, Christy Nockels shares the identity shift that transformed her ministry from burnout to breakthrough. She unpacks:

• The "beautiful order" she was getting wrong that led to exhaustion

• What led her to feel like a commodity instead of a carrier of God's presence

• What it means to be a modern Levite in today's church

Here's the truth: If the primary message you're hearing is "your value is your gifting," that's what you'll believe. The question is—what are you doing to change that?

Ready to change the soundtrack? This conversation is all about exactly that.
