There is no doubt that today, we live in a world of excess and materialism. As we are constantly told to buy new things and accumulate more possessions, one must ask: is this the best thing for me? Is this the best thing for my soul, or my character?
Joshua Becker, bestselling author and creator of Becoming Minimalist, has asked these questions himself. As a result of wading through the deep waters of this struggle, he has become one of the leading voices for the minimalist movement today.
Minimalism, as Joshua Becker defines it, is the intentional promotion of the things we most value and the removal of everything that distracts us from it. For years, Joshua has been leading this movement, and today he joins us to share just a little bit about what it looks like to live simply as Christians longing to live like Jesus.
