Christy Nockels

For her solo debut, Watermark's Christy Nockels chose a theme of light and the ability of God to shine through us. Her crystal-clear vocals shine on every track, whether it's "No Not One," co-written with Brandon Heath, the title track (penned with her husband and longtime collaborator, Nathan Nockels) or a cover of fellow worship leader Charlie Hall's "Marvelous Light." Other themes include obedience, facing challenges with faith and being intentional in the choices we make. Overall, this pastor's daughter delivers a hopeful collection that will definitely have listeners looking up.
