How Do We Own Less and Love More? with Joshua Becker
Description
As a young mother, someone gave me a copy of one of Joshua Becker's books, and it totally turned my world right side up. We were living in the decade where everyone was talking about minimalism and essentialism. I had thrown myself wholeheartedly into the movement, but something seemed not quite complete until I read "The More of Less." Suddenly, it all made sense. I wasn't throwing away all my stuff just because it was time to clean, and I wanted to burn the house down. I wasn't living with less just for the sake of having less; I wanted to live without distraction toward a purpose. I'm super excited to introduce you to him today. I pray that as you listen to us chat, you'll also be challenged toward a purposeful faith as well!
You had a turning moment early in your family life that showed you the benefit of minimalism. Can you tell us about that?
How did your personal story connect to what you saw in the Bible?
It's tempting for us to want to become minimalists when we are sick of picking up our kids' stuff, but what are the spiritual benefits of living with less?
It's been a while since you had that moment... how has it changed the way you live?
