## Resource

What if clutter isn't just about having too much stuff—but about what's quietly pulling us away from the things that matter most to us? In today's episode, I visit with Joshua Becker, bestselling author and founder of Becoming Minimalist , about how clutter affects our lives and our faith. We explore why change feels so hard, how clutter quietly distracts us from spiritual growth, and why Jesus' teachings on possessions are an invitation—not a burden. If you've ever felt stuck, distracted, or weighed down by "too much"—this conversation you and give you practical next steps.
