Decluttering by faith is a 12 week course by Minimal Mom, Dawn Masen and pastor, Dianna Kokku. These twin sister walk readers through what the bible has to say stuff, consuming and clutter. Their inspiring connections they make between home orangization and the bible will inspire you to get your home in order. Throughout the study, there are weekly challenges, checklists techniques that help you loosen your grip on stuff.

My life was already changed from listening to Minimal Mom’s youtube and podcast. It wasn’t untill I removed about 60% of our home’s “stuff” that daily chores around the home started to flow. Living with an aggresive chronic illness, keeping up with our home is my hardest task. To deepen my journey with minimalism I bought “Declutting By Faith” and dove in.

After Declutting by Faith, even after a disaster week, the home can get back to tidy with minimal effort and I’m left to fix my eyes on more important callings.

And that calling was sharing this idea with others. I started a small group to go through the 12 week course with long distant girl friends. As I shared readings with my friends and discussed, I found myself texting links to my favorite videos to answer questions and encourage my group. From this, I curated collection of videos that line up to Dawn and Diana’s weekly readings.
