    180 // Ashamed of Your Messy House? Trade Shame for God’s Grace to Find Peace - with Dana K. White

    Are you ashamed of the constant mess that surrounds you in your home? Do phrases like “cleanliness is next to godliness” and the story of the Proverbs 31 woman make you feel like you’ll never measure up? Do you feel like your brain is broken because you just can’t get your act together and “just get organized”? Hope is here, friend. Today I’m chatting with Dana K. White from A Slob Comes Clean and the author of the brand new book Jesus Doesn’t Care About Your Messy House: He Cares About Your Heart. We have a fantastic conversation about the lies we believe about our self-worth when it comes to the state of our homes, and the actual truth: you don’t need to have it all together to enjoy the peace and freedom that comes from God’s grace - and the state of your home is NO indication of your worthiness or the strength of your faith. Dana is the creator of the No Mess Decluttering Method and (much to her own surprise) a Decluttering Expert. Dana shares realistic home management strategies and a message of hope for the hopelessly messy in her books: Organizing for the Rest of Us, Decluttering at the Speed of Life (a Wall Street Journal bestseller), and How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind. Dana teaches her strategies through her blog, podcast, and ideas at ASlobComesClean.com and trains coaches in her unique decluttering process at DeclutteringCoaches.com. I hope this conversation encourages you!
