226 // Uncluttered Faith: Experience the Fullness of God’s Promises Through Minimalism - with Joshua Becker

What does the Bible have to say about minimalism? Turns out - quite a bit, although it may not seem like it at first glance. Joshua Becker’s new book Uncluttered Faith: Own Less, Love, More, and Make an Impact in Your World, is centered around a bold claim. Minimalism - specifically what Jesus has to say about possessions and money - is God’s design for our life.

The book dives into Scripture passages that point to numerous spiritual benefits that you can experience through minimalism, to allow you to reach your full potential and impact in the Kingdom of God. In this episode, Joshua and I talk about: - Why the American Church hasn’t focused more on the message of minimalism, specifically when it comes to Jesus’ clear teachings on our relationship with money and material possessions - How our fruitfulness has been choked out by consumerism and distraction - How minimalism helps us enjoy the benefits of God’s spiritual kingdom

Joshua is the founder and editor of Becoming Minimalist, a website dedicated to intentional living that was named by SUCCESS Magazine as one of the top ten personal development websites.

He is also the USA Today and WSJ best-selling author of 6 books including The Minimalist Home, The More of Less, and Things That Matter.

His new book, Uncluttered Faith, will be released on February 10, 2026.

He is also the Founder of The Hope Effect, a nonprofit organization changing how the world cares for orphans. Currently, he lives in Peoria, AZ with his wife and two teenage children.
