Just in time for the holiday gift giving season, the something beautiful crew talks with blogger and author Joshua Becker.

Becker is an associate minister for a church outside Phoenix, Arizona and he writes about his journey towards becoming a minimalist in his spare time.

He shares how he stumbled into the idea of minimalism, what a rational minimalist entails and how it plays out with his faith.

Some questions to ask yourself while you listen:

<ul>	<li>What would rational minimalism look like in my life?</li>

	<li>What "things" do I have that are simply cluttering my life?</li>

	<li>How does my "stuff" relate to the call of Jesus in my life?</li></ul>
