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 of the Christian Habits Podcast, 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.
In my interview with Joshua Becker, we discuss:
-
Why clutter can quietly drain our time, energy, and spiritual focus
-
How Jesus’ teachings on possessions invite us into a better life—not a miserable one
-
Why change feels so hard (and why that doesn’t mean we’re failing)
-
How minimalism reshapes the way we define success
-
The connection between clutter, overwhelm, and spiritual growth
-
Practical first steps for decluttering without feeling overwhelmed
-
Why minimalism looks different for every person and season of life
