When it comes to your home, peace is possible…

Longing for a place of peace from which you can love others well? The Clutter-Free Home is your room-by-room guide to decluttering, reclaiming, and celebrating every space of your home.

Let author Kathi Lipp (who once lived a life buried in clutter) walk you through each room of your house to create organizational zones that are not only functional and practical but create places of peace that reflect your personality.  Kathi will help you tackle the four-step process of dedicate, decide, declutter and “do-your-thing” to reveal the home you’ve always dreamed of, and then transform it into a haven that reflects who you truly are meant to be.

Kathi is here with the admittedly not crafty Tonya Kubo talking about all things crafting. You do not need to consider yourself crafty to get something of value from this episode. Crafting, creating, and all hobbies that bring us joy have this in common: a need to keep all the supplies in one area where we can get a little and create something beautiful with it. Together, let’s think about how little we can use to create what we want, grow our supplies as we grow our skills, and ask ourselves these questions to get started on the journey:

• Do I have a designated spot?
• How can I change my thinking?
• How clever can I be with my supplies and space?
• What do I actually need to craft with joy?

Kathi is here with her friend Kelly Wilbanks, who takes your great questions and brings them to Kathi to come up with the answers about all things clutter free. Today, they are continuing the discussion about Kathi’s best hacks and how to get things done in a short amount of time. It’s common to get overwhelmed very quickly. Kathi’s solution is all about the Checklist Challenge. The problem with most checklists is that many items on them tend to be way too far-reaching and contribute to overwhelm. Take Kathi’s advice and don’t participate in abuse of the checklist. Instead, tune in to find out how you can thrive with a checklist by:

• Breaking it down
• Imagining the space before you start
• Pre-deciding
• Curating & not settling for second best

Clutter steals our peace and it also steals the peace of the ones we love. Join Kathi today in a great conversation with Amberly Neese, author of Common Ground, discussing how we can live at peace with other people. Clutter issues in our head, our heart, and our home often disrupt this peace and cause tension between loved ones. Join in the discussion to find out ways that we can clear out this clutter and live at peace with others by:

• Finding common ground
• Asking important why questions
• Fully embracing and loving God, ourselves, and then others

Whether it is in politics, the professional world, a party, or a pew, we face conflict every day. As discussions get more heated and social media is deluged with opinion-spewing, hurt feelings, and broken relationships, we need hope and practical tools to navigate the tumultuous waters and live at peace with everyone.

Fortunately, the Scriptures hold the key to living at peace despite our differences. In Common Ground, a four-week Bible study, Amberly Neese combines stories of sibling rivalries from the Bible with personal experience, humor, hope, and her love of God’s Word.

Stories examined from the Old and New Testaments include:

• Joseph and His Brothers: How to Combat Jealousy

• Moses, Miriam, and Aaron: How to Work Together Despite Differences

• Mary, Martha, and Lazarus: How to Appreciate the Contributions of Others

• Rachel and Leah: Having Compassion for the Plight of Others

These stories point us to peace and reconciliation in all our relationships, reassuring us that it is possible to find common ground with everyone—despite our differences.

What do you do when you feel like you’ve lost the momentum in your decluttering? Kathi and Kelly are here on the rescue wagon to help us get back on! Today they’re discussing living in the tension of not decluttering while taking a short break that provides space to refocus with fresh eyes. We become exhausted when we declutter out of shame. What happens when we’re able to switch to grace-based decluttering instead? Well, that, friends, is a beautiful thing. Listen in to discover how to make the switch and get back on the wagon by:

• Resting but not quitting
• Getting involved with the CFA FB group
• Never going back to the broken normal
• Jolting your system
• Finding a grace-filled buddy
