Episode 207: Holy Simplicity: When Clutter Competes With Your Calling
What if your home isn’t just messy… but actually pulling you away from God’s call?
I know—that question stopped me in my tracks too. In this week’s episode, I sit down with simplicity consultant Katie Sciba, and she helped me see something I honestly never connected before: the state of our space deeply affects the state of our soul.
Here’s another one:
Are your possessions shaping you into a disciple… or slowly distracting you from becoming the one God made you to be?
Katie has this gentle way of revealing the attachments we don’t even realize we’ve made—the stuff we keep “just in case,” the clutter that drains us, the rooms that quietly stress us out before we take a single step inside. And she shows us how letting go isn’t about losing anything… it’s about creating the freedom to say a deeper yes to God.
And maybe the biggest surprise:
Could clearing your home be the key to hearing God more clearly?
The more we talked, the more I realized: when our homes become places of peace, our hearts become places where God’s voice doesn’t have to fight so hard to be heard. This is practical, it’s freeing, and honestly—it’s beautifully Catholic. So if you’re craving more peace, more clarity, more space to actually live the life God is calling you to… this episode is for you.
