179 | “I’ll Get to It Later”: Why We Put Off Decluttering—and 3 Steps to Begin

Feeling overwhelmed by clutter or discouraged about your home? We open Ephesians 6 in the KJV and answer four common lies with God’s Word before our five-day decluttering challenge.

Always organizing but still cluttered? Meet the D.O.E.R. Method and learn how to evaluate what’s working—and what needs to change—in your home.

Have you been waiting for life to settle down before you start decluttering or caring for your home? Maybe there's a room you keep shutting the door on, and you think, "Why start now? I don't even know what's coming next." In this Christian devotional, we walk through Jeremiah 32 in the KJV. Jerusalem was under siege. Jeremiah was a prisoner. And God told him to buy a field. He bought it, signed the deed, and preserved the documents. Then he brought his confusion to the Lord. God's answer is our anchor passage, Jeremiah 32:26–27: "Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?" I share how this passage spoke to me when I was surrounded by clutter, unfinished home projects, and too many commitments. We talk about God's sovereignty, faith that acts before sight, and the temptation to let everyday responsibilities slide while we wait for a bigger answer. Jeremiah 32 is God's promise to restore His people to their land, not a promise about our circumstances. But Jeremiah's response shows us what obedience can look like in our homes and spiritual lives, even when we still have questions. For reflection: Where are you waiting for your circumstances to change before you start tending to what God has put in your care?

After nearly two years and almost 180 episodes, I’ve been reflecting on one simple truth: organization isn’t the goal—it’s the path. In this episode, I’m sharing what God has been teaching me about our homes, stewardship, and creating room for what matters most.

Have you ever looked around your home and wondered where all the stuff is supposed to go? In this listener Q&A episode, I'm answering three questions that might sound unrelated at first—bulky sweatshirts, crowded kitchen countertops, and those awkward dead-end corner cabinets—but they all point to a bigger challenge many of us face: making our homes work when space is limited. We'll talk about practical ways to store bulky clothing, decide which appliances deserve valuable countertop space, and make peace with those hard-to-reach cabinets that never seem to function the way we'd like. Along the way, we'll also explore why many of us own more than previous generations, how to stop organizing around Pinterest-perfect expectations, and why creating space in your home sometimes starts with owning less—not buying more storage. If you've ever felt like you're constantly rearranging things but never quite getting ahead, this conversation is for you. In This Episode:• Where to store bulky sweatshirts without creating closet chaos• How to decide which kitchen appliances earn countertop space• Creative alternatives when cabinet storage is limited• Smart ways to use awkward corner cabinets• Why not every inch of your home needs to be maximized• Creating a home that works for your real life—not someone else's Have a question you'd like answered on a future episode?
