In this episode, Jim and Georges delve into the transformative spiritual discipline of voluntary poverty and simplicity, contrasting it sharply with the world's dream of going "from rags to riches". Drawing extensively from the example of Jesus, they redefine wealth not as an end, but as an instrument of God to be used in stewardship—ensuring that what is more than enough is used to provide for those who do not have enough. Learn why embracing simplicity is a normal, non-negotiable part of Christian discipleship that frees us from the encumbrances of worry, greed, and accumulation.
Soul Renovate brings a conversation about spiritual formation and soul care to our listeners in the hope of our transformation into Christlikeness.
