Minimalism as a Spiritual Discipline: Joshua Becker

In a world that constantly tells us more is better, Gabe and Rebekah welcome longtime friend, simplicity expert, and prolific author Joshua Becker to the conversation. As the founder of Becoming Minimalist , Joshua has spent over 15 years helping people realize that our possessions don't just take up physical space—they often take up the time and mental energy we were meant to give to our families and our faith. This conversation dives deep into the heart of Joshua’s new book, Uncluttered Faith , which explores how the practice of owning less can free us spiritually. Together, they discuss the maintenance trap of modern life and how clearing the clutter allows us to finally hear God’s voice clearly again. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by your home or just longing for more presence in your marriage, this episode provides a roadmap to help you choose Becker’s Great Pearl over the distractions of the world. In this episode, you’ll hear: The Garage Light Bulb Moment: Joshua shares the story of how a Saturday spent cleaning the garage opened his eyes to the cost of his possessions.
