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.

As we head into late winter/early spring, the pressure to “get organized,” “purge everything,” and finally become our "most minimalist selves" starts to creep in. But what if our decluttering intentions don’t fail because of laziness - but because they’re rooted in guilt? In this episode, I’m joined by Ari Kimmelfeld, founder of Commonplace, a company rethinking how we buy and sell large wellness and fitness equipment. We talk about the items that often feel hardest to let go of - the big investments that once represented our best intentions. And yet, for many of us, they quietly become reminders of goals unmet or seasons that have shifted. If you’ve been staring at something in your home that represents an old goal, a past version of you, or simply a season that has passed - this episode will give you permission to move forward thoughtfully.

Because minimalism isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about living honestly with who you are right now.
