Episode 43 – Simplify to Amplify: Why Subtraction is the Secret to a Stronger Life | Thursday Foundations
🎙 Thursday Foundations – Episode 43
“Simplify to Amplify: The Power of Subtraction”
📅 8/21/25
Ever feel like life is spinning out of control — so you add more goals, more commitments, more “just one more thing”?
Here’s the truth: Most breakthroughs don’t come from adding… they come from cutting.
In this episode, Joey and Paul break down why subtraction often multiplies your results — in faith, fitness, family, and focus. You’ll hear personal stories about simplifying workouts, clearing calendars, and rediscovering connection. Plus, practical steps to spot what’s draining you and make room for what matters most.
🔥 Key Takeaways:
How Jesus modeled the ultimate subtraction: Love God. Love people.
Why busyness can be a mask hiding lack of real progress.
How removing “good” things can make space for the best things.
3 steps to cut distractions and reclaim your focus.
Why the space you leave open might be exactly where God speaks.
📖 Scripture Reference:
Psalm 90:12 – “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
🙏 Prayer from this Episode:
Father, You know how we pack our days until there’s no room left. We confess we’ve confused busyness with fruitfulness. Give us eyes to see what’s no longer serving us, courage to let it go, and faith to believe that in Your hands, less can become more. Amen.
