Simplicity of Stuff | Simplicity E4

Practicing the Way
About this episode

"The more we have, the more we want."

John Mark examines how our never-ending desire can lead to lives of discontentment and dissatisfaction, but how the practices of desiring less and generosity can help us practice simplicity and lay hold of Jesus’s promise of life to the full.


Key Scripture Passage: 1 Timothy 6v2-19
