Consumerism competes for our attention daily—from social media influences to ads on streaming services to our friends’ latest purchases. This obsession with storing up possessions is not new; Jesus taught His followers about it thousands of years ago, and those same lessons are meant for us today. Possessions seem to promise fulfillment, but we find instead that material abundance hinders us from living joyfully and realizing our fullest potential. Even more, they become distractions that leave us empty and separated from the true source of life—Jesus Himself!
You can break this cycle today. In Uncluttered Faith, Joshua Becker, bestselling author and founder of Becoming Minimalist, shows how the Bible has shaped his understanding of the minimalism movement he sparked around the world. Using biblical truth, personal stories, practical exercises, and modern research studies, Becker explains how
● owning less allows you to focus more on your faith and relationship with God, leading to greater joy, fulfillment, and purpose in life
● generosity is not just a spiritual practice but also a practical lifestyle choice that can help you reduce busyness and create more time for meaningful activities
● minimalism helps you prioritize people over possessions, allowing you to invest deeply in your relationships and contribute effectively to your community
More than just a personal growth guide, Uncluttered Faith presents a bold vision for the Church to collectively embrace minimalism and achieve its full potential. Experience Jesus’s teachings in a new way and begin owning less to unlock a richer, more fulfilling spiritual life.
