How do we respond when life doesn’t go as we planned or when we take a detour? When we’re experiencing change, it’s easy to be overwhelmed with feelings of confusion, anger, and disappointment. But God has something better for us. Learn how you can start embracing change, even in the middle of the messy process.

Scriptures say that God’s values are different from the world’s. This is evident in the area of wealth and possessions. God whispers, “I am enough. Do not seek joy or security in anything else. You’ll be more fulfilled owning less.” Minimalism, the act of purposefully owning less is about more than decluttering. It offers a path to optimizing our life under God.
