Episode 24: The Last One! What to do about it (Part Four)
Welcome to the final episode! Not only of our four part “what to do about it” series, but also (for now!) to the podcast itself. Today, we bring the last 23 episodes together to talk about setting a Rule of Life in the context of possessions, time, and living a lifestyle of justice and righteousness. I encourage you to sit with Jesus, pick a problem, and run to the pain - putting practical and real-life action to our Biblical mandate to care for the poor. In all areas, our aim is th...

Episode 22: What to do about it (Part Two)
Today’s podcast is part two of our “what to do about it” series, and this episode is all about setting what is called a Rule of Life. A Rule of Life is an intentional set of practices that are used to guard our habits and guide our lives; structure upon which our greatest desires are brought into alignment with the practices and habits of our everyday existence.

Episode 21: What to do about it (Part One)
We are on the podcast home stretch! This episode is part one of four “what to do about it” episodes. This one is all about where we have come so far over the past 20 episodes (a long way!), and what I believe is the foundational ingredient to eradicating global poverty and being a part of positive, practical change, which (spoiler alert) is: getting upset and raising our expectations. We all need to find a way to move forward from simply having a heart for the poor, and move instead into...

Today’s episode is the second half of the two-part series on materialism and minimalism. Minimalism is the intentional choice to live with less.

Episode 19: Materialism
Today’s episode launches a two part series on materialism and minimalism. Materialism is the belief and supporting actions that money, possessions, and comfort are the most important matter to obtain in life. It is a set of lifestyle and worldview practices that is so deeply entrenched within our current culture; a culture that depends and feeds upon our perpetual dissatisfaction and discontentment. Our current levels of material consumption are not only unprecedented in all o...
Customer Reviews
Exactly what I needed
This podcast helped me to realize I have some “bents” and misconceptions that I desperately needed to wrestle down in my soul. Equality, poverty, helping the poor and just an overall skewed view of whether or not I can truly make a difference in this world. Bec does an incredible job of making her podcast fun, engaging, practical, but most importantly, in my opinion, Biblical! Her knowledge and wisdom in this area is refreshing and empowering! Can’t recommend it highly enough.
Informative, engaging, convicting.
Bec makes a tough-to-digest topic accessible to anyone’s understanding. I love the way her humor balances out the hard things, without diminishing their importance. Her humble posture compassionately challenges us to practically stretch past our comfort bubbles & live in the way of Jesus.
Love this podcast!
I truly love this podcast for how Bec presents clear and unbiased facts that have transformed my perspective on poverty. I have learned so much about this daunting subject that I like to avoid because it is so huge, but Bec gives practical ways that we can help in our everyday lives! She is super knowledgeable about this subject and this podcast has already taught me so much!
