As a young mother, someone gave me a copy of one of Joshua Becker's books, and it totally turned my world right side up. We were living in the decade where everyone was talking about minimalism and essentialism. I had thrown myself wholeheartedly into the movement, but something seemed not quite complete until I read "The More of Less." Suddenly, it all made sense. I wasn't throwing away all my stuff just because it was time to clean, and I wanted to burn the house down. I wasn't living with less just for the sake of having less; I wanted to live without distraction toward a purpose. I'm super excited to introduce you to him today. I pray that as you listen to us chat, you'll also be challenged toward a purposeful faith as well!
