Are you saving things “just in case”—but deep down, you’re not sure if that’s wise or just clutter in disguise?
It can be hard to tell the difference between being a good steward and holding onto stuff out of fear. Especially when you’re trying to prepare, be responsible, and not waste anything. But at some point, those good intentions can turn into clutter, chaos, and even anxiety.
In today’s episode, we’re digging into this question: When is it wise to store things—and when does it cross the line into hoarding?
We’re going to unpack:
Why Joseph’s storage before the famine wasn’t fear-based, but full of purpose and planning
How having systems and structure is what separates stewardship from clutter
What it looks like to save with generosity and intention—not guilt or "what if"
How to tell if you’re hoarding in disguise, even if your heart is in the right place
What Scripture shows us about finding peace and balance in what we keep and what we release
Whether you’re holding onto baby clothes, homeschool supplies, or a packed pantry, this episode will help you pause and ask:
👉 Am I saving this with wisdom? Or am I just afraid to let go?
Let’s talk about what it looks like to manage our homes with open hands, purpose, and peace.
