    Uncluttered Faith: How Minimalism Deepens Your Relationship with God | Joshua Becker (Bonus Episode)
    Feb 5 2026

    For those who are new here, I occasionally release bonus episodes that speak to a specific part of my audience. This particular conversation is rooted in a Christian perspective. If that’s not what you’re looking for right now, feel free to explore the other episodes released this week - or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation you won’t want to miss.

    --------------------------------

    Bestselling author Joshua Becker shares how a pivotal conversation led him from pastoral ministry into a life of radical simplicity - and ultimately into becoming one of the world’s leading voices on minimalism.

    In this episode, we discuss his newest book, Uncluttered Faith: Own Less, Love More, and Make an Impact in Your World, and explore how consumerism quietly competes for our devotion. Joshua unpacks how minimalism reshaped not only his home, but his spiritual life - offering believers and spiritual seekers alike a compelling invitation to loosen their grip on worldly possessions and rediscover the fullness of life Jesus promises.

I love everything about this podcast and the previous show minimalist moms. My favorite episodes past and present address increasing time outside/reducing screen time, parenting, people pleasing/boundary setting, and how to declutter individual places in the home and non-physical areas of your life.
