Episode 62 - Christian Contentment

In our world of wanting more and of endlessly upgrading, we have to get good at saying, "Ok, that's enough." There's a game of constant consumption and if we're not careful, it's going to take advantage of us. Don't get played!

Simplicity isn't about getting rid of everything. It's saying "no" to things you need to say "no" to—creating a space where you're not controlled by things.

How? A poverty check. A regular practice of examining everything to see what really needs to stay and what can go; a regular challenge to take an honest look at what we're clinging to and what we can let go of.
