The final letter of SACRED may be the most uncomfortable — DE-CLUTTER asks us to honestly inventory what is filling our lives and crowding out the Way.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Voskamp defines spiritual clutter broadly — not just physical possessions, but anxieties, grudges, addictions, toxic relationships, and competing loves that block our path to God. What comes to mind first when you hear 'de-clutter your spiritual life'?
2.Hebrews 12:1 calls us to 'throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.' Ann distinguishes between 'sins' and 'hindrances' — things that aren't necessarily sinful but still slow us down. What are the hindrances (not sins) that most quietly slow your walk with God?
3.She writes about phone and screen use as a form of clutter that is uniquely damaging to attentiveness and presence. How do you respond to that challenge — with conviction, defensiveness, fatigue, or something else? What does your response reveal?
