Welcome to the Steward Lab Podcast hosted by James and Amberlee Rich, where we delve into effective stewardship of your time, money, relationships, health, careers, and even your possessions. In this episode, we explore the impacts of minimalism and decluttering inspired by Marie Kondo's 'The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.' We discuss the importance of decluttering from a stewardship perspective and how it can free you up to pursue what truly matters. Featuring practical tips from experts like Joshua Becker, this episode encourages you to take actionable steps towards a clutter-free life and improved stewardship. Don't miss our experiment: set aside 20 to 60 minutes this week to declutter a specific area in your home.
