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.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
