Emotional Hoarding with Laurie Davies & Clutter Free with Kathi Lipp

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme,  “Redeeming Time.” Laurie Davies joined us to explain how emotional hoarding can keep us stuck, and how God helps us let go of the hurt, regret, and bitterness we’ve been holding on to. Laurie is a former journalist and women’s ministry director and has written the book, “Emotional Hoarding: Letting Go of the Stuff That Keeps You Stuck.” We then had Kathi Lipp join to explain how clutter can keep us stuck in fear, guilt, and shame, and how small steps can help us move toward freedom. Kathi is the host of  “Clutter Free Academy the Podcast!”, and author of "Ready for Anything: Preparing Your Heart and Home for Any Crisis, Big or Small." We invited our listeners to the “Redeem Time” Challenge to encourage you to use your time more intentionally and spiritually, focusing on productivity, purpose, rest, and honoring God, rather than wasting it. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
