Episode Synopsis
Send us a textBetter to have less of what doesn’t matter and more of what doesBetter one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind. Ecclesiastes 4:6 …“Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” Luke 12:15 One Handful or Two?1. THROW OUT.When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth. Matthew 19:22 2 REASONS WE HOLD STUFF:FEARSENTIMENT2. BUY LESS.Cause my heart to bow before your words of wisdom and not to the wealth of this world. Help me turn my eyes away from illusions so that I pursue only that which is true… Psalms 119:36-37 TPT 3. GIVE MORE.Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 1 Timothy 6:17Command them ** to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. 1 Timothy 6:17-18Discussion Questions:If you had to pack one quirky, totally unnecessary item for a year-long trip (something that makes zero sense but you’d miss it), what would you bring and why?What would “one handful living” practically look like for you?Which cultural pressure to have more affects you the most?What memories show you that experiences matter more than stuff?Which is hardest for you: throwing out, buying less, or giving more?If you entered 2026 “traveling light,” what would stay and what would go?
