- This week, I am debuting the trailer for my new book, Things That Matter. To celebrate, I'm holding my first ever YT Live on Thursday, the night before its release, answering any question you want to ask. Come hang out.
You can pre-order Things That Matter at • Things That Matter - Jak na to + styl
Things That Matter is finally here! I put my heart into it, and I can’t wait to share it with you. Thank you for your support in helping me write it. You can pick up a copy at www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/676394/things-that-matter-by-joshua-becker/
I got mine in the mail today!
I couldn't join you for the live stream, but I do want to say, out loud, that you started me on my amazing journey to living simply several years ago now, and I will always be grateful. Thank you, Joshua, for following this inspirational lead in your life, and for sharing it with us all!
This is so true… even I was not able to connect the live but watching it now and I will always be grateful for changing my life in a better and mindful way 🙏🏻🙏🏻 lots of love from India 🇮🇳
Joshua, you living your purpose is inspirational. Shifting our need for ownership has helped us to be able to give to others. I cannot wait to read this new book and reap its benefits. Thank you!
Wow, thank you
Hi Joshua, I have been a hoarder type person since I can remember, recently my son and I got rid of 10 trailers of stuff from the garden, attic and house.. Honestly it's difficult to express what an emotional experience this has been in fact at one point I wanted to cry it was overwhelming but I pushed through these feeling and my son was great and we had a good laugh while doing this. Part of the difficulty was I just didn't want these things to go into landfill , I gave a new pair of horse riding boots to the charity shop the owner was so delighted she was going to give them to a child with special needs who had a keen interest in horses and her parents were in a difficult financial situation also I gave lego to one of my neighbours his grandchildren stopped and thanked me. I really don't miss anything I gave away. Thank you for your advice. I realise that it is only stuff and it is a burden rather than a benefit to my life. Best wishes from ireland.
Congrats you did it Miss Mary!!
@@lemons6407 yes congrats to her and congrats to you for your positivity in a medium full of trolls! Especially during these stressful and trying times we need as much compassion and positive energy out there! Peace and blessings to you and all the other positive voices out there, even to the trolls who possibly need it for we often find that it is hurt people who hurt people 💕🕊
@@lemons6407 I’m sorry you’ve been hurt opening up to the wrong people. There is so much negativity and judgment all around that it is so difficult to remain positive. But it helps to have a grateful heart. No matter how small, there is always something to be thankful for. But it also helps when people show kindness. Sometimes just a few encouraging words can really make a difference 😊
Take care and be safe🕊
Thanks for sharing that story. Glad you found my advice helpful! I know you'll love owning less.
My place is looking better and better now that I'm clearing out the things I'm not going to use. Never really understood how much they all created stress. Thanks for being part of it all.
Your personality is awesome on this live. Keep doing more. I think it’s great.
A year ago, I was curious about this guy's hairstyle and clicked. Now I'm hooked on living minimal.
Haha!
I also love that your videos are short and sweet because it helps to not spend too much time on the intenet and they are always quality because you work hard to keep it quality and meaningful with a punch in a short burst which I love. Less is more. Thanks from Australia
Yaa short meaningful, to the main point and every sentence useful. I hear repeatedly to get motivate and inspire... from india
Watching from kenya.africa....i think we need your lessons more because we tend to think that because we don't own more we are poor ....we forget we have nature,we have time with our families ,our spaces are smaller n our doors open to visitors.....
Ive practiced being a minimalist for quite a time, or so I thought, but when i chanced upon ur videos i was hooked. Its complete package. They thought me to be minimalist not only materially but more than that. I do really love the philosophy u are sharing, the joy of living simply and within our means. Thanks and more blessings and wisdom for u from our Lord.
Be careful with the “sugar free” foods and drinks! So much research that those items contain cancer and brain tumor causing chemicals. Sorry I messed this live! I didn’t have the bell set on notifications. Love all your content, God Bless!
Lol, late riser here, that is hilarious. I've always been a night owl, so have no desire to be an early riser, but I kinda see where they are coming from. I was told recently that the older you get, the less sleep people tend to need, so I figure when I'm 75 I might be up at 7am. 🤣
A friend of mine runs a charitable organisation that provides aid in SE Asia. Part of what they have been doing in recent years is helping orphans to find relatives they can live with so they can have a family & the love that comes from family, rather than being raised in an institution. More children are being helped & their families are supported too. The charity has even paid for the tertiary education of some children so they can have a better future.
Joshua, no ads on CZcams? I love it! The length of your videos is perfect! But I hate that you don’t make any money doing them! You are one awesome humble person! Thank you so much for what you do!
Yup, no ads. Advertisements are the equivalent to selling your attention to the highest bidder-and that's not why I'm here.
Just sharing this Scripture that keeps me on the track that your new book is about:
Philippians 1:10 - "Make sure of the more important things."
I lke the line minimalism is better than organising.
This is very very helpful.
Thanks joshua
Yes! Thank you!
I watch yours and Dave Ramsey video daily to keep me on track.
I love Costco for the money savings and I don’t have to go to the store as much. I like the simplicity of their options, not too many choices and I get done fast.
You are a hoot. Heard you on a Minimal Mom CZcams and heard a few other videos from a while ago today. Really appreciated the church service video. Glad to be following now.
I have been following you for two years. Love what you preach!!
Minimalism is for everyone but everybody has a different way of approaching it
So true!
I own a enough stuff ie plates just to cover my sons family there are 10 of them that come for dinner I have 11 kids and 32 grandkids and my house is fully uncluttered and I help others in my situation 😊
I can’t wait for this book. I am sorry I missed the live. Will look at trailer today. You have changed my life in an amazing way. I am loving this new journey! Thank you!!!!
Your a good man😃 i was busy working i missed the livestream absolutely amazing seeing support from all around the world your really helping so many people that is a blessing and your family is beautiful 😍 ❤ 🙏
Yes, love the short videos!
I found you through Dawn/Minimal Mom! I love your short videos!!! This live is great too! Can't wait to get the new book!
Missed the live but am looking forward to watching.
Hello Joshua from the UK, I cannot believe I missed your first LIVE but I can see just how excited you were. I've been following you for quite a while and have read your books and enjoyed your CZcams channel. You completely got me onto the minimal life path and I love it💙❤️. The best thing I ever adopted. Thank you so much for your valued inspiration not just to me but to all those you reach out too. Much love ❤️ to you and yours xxxx
God bless you forever and ever!
You will never know how much The Lord has used you to bless me and so many people in my life
I have given 50% of all I used to have
I have never been happier!
Paid two college students fees for two years and I have saved 70k
I love you and your family
Hi from Switzerland. It’s always a pleasure to listen to you every week. I hope your book will be available in Europe.
Look forward to hearing about your new book! Good question and answer session? Enjoy watching your videos each week.
Loved this video..Please make more of these videos..been following you since years but nice to see this fun side of you..👍😊
Absolutely wonderful debut Q&A! I will so be checking out your new book. It would be so great if you continued on from Australia to New Zealand 😊🌺🌺🌺Much blessings
I do a playlist of all your videos and just listen over and over and over again until I get the deep meaning. I can’t do plants😆and I’m ok with that👍thank you for helping me understand there is so many other things that are more important like (ME) in a good way, My sanity😄
Italy here, love all of your videos. Thanks for your work
I didn't get to watch live but I've changed my lifestyle so much thanks to your videos. For almost 2 yrs I've been decluttering. I'm happy where I'm at today. My home looks amazing. I've also cut down on needless spending. I'm also closer to God. I've been able to treat family with nice dinners out and give experiences instead of cluttering gifts. Thank you! God bless you.
I'm Glad you exist in this busy world. I follow you since a teaching in a. Hurch about minimalist. I was a shopaholic minimalist. Yep it exist. I used to buy new clothing every week and throw out the old so I wouldn't accumulate any so I was sick. Your video has transformed me thank you.
Love the message behind your new book ! Excited to read it
Looking forward to the new book, I love your writings. I don't mind short or long videos but I love that there are no adverts.
God bless you and your family you’re amazing you’re changed my life so much I can listen to you every day you inspire me so much🙏🏼❤️
Right on Joshua! I agree wholeheartedly!
I could not join the live stream but I enjoyed this video later. Thank you very much! You look a very nice person! A house tour will be awesome. Love house tours and videos that show areas of the house that are organized so I can take ideas to do in my house.
YOUR SO authentic 🤗😁and wonderful very real in ideas.thank you big impact improving lives of us all.
Thanks Brandy.
This chat was so enjoyable! I’ve learned so much from you! I have preordered your book in hard cover so I can leave it on the coffee table for conversations. I think I may order some to give as gifts! 🌵
As always, great content!
Hope the live program will be a regular feature 😊
Thank you! ❤️
I really enjoyed that! Thank you, and best of luck with your book. I'll be buying the audiobook x
Love your studio! ❤️ Your wife and Gabriela did an awesome job. I am starting the process of decluttering and it is hard, but I am getting better day by day. It is true, base on where we live is going to change the things we own. I live in Puerto Rico and we need to have food in stock in case a hurricane hit the island. Anyways, learning to declutter and so far I love it. Actually, I enjoy decluttering. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Thank you for this live! 🤗 Love your channel! God bless you and your family. 😊
I too love the length of your videos. I share them all the time on decluttering page on fb. Many of your quotes are shared on there as well.
So thankful to have found your channel. You have made a positive impact on my life. I recently watched you on an episode of Focus On The Family. Can't wait for your post tomorrow for your book trailer!
Thanks Marsha. Glad to have you as a viewer.
Thank you for being concise and ad free.
Loved your energy and enthusiasm in the Live! Your total passion for what you are talking about totally shines through. Thank you for the short, succinct videos. Can't believe you don't monetize them - you actually practice what you preach!
Don't let the crazy world of YT comments get you down, I don't think you need to 'respond to negative comments', but rather take them as additional challenges that people may face when trying minimalism.
Congrats on release of your latest book! Look forward to further wisdom. Been following for a while now and appreciate all your thoughts- especially all the free stuff 😉
Much appreciated!
Congratulations 👏Joshua!
The Minimal Mom introduced you to me. I am grateful:). Also, I like the length of your videos!
JOSHUA! The jello molds!!!
Hysterical!!!
Hallo from Germany!
I love your videos and have seen most of them. They always inspire me. I don't shop as much as I used to do and also don't have as much stuff on my surfaces. Thank you So much.
Konny
This was a great video. You should do more often
Love your videos because they are very informative.
A great Q and A! I hope you do more!
Congratulations on your first Live Video, it went well.
I could tell you were very excited and I am excited for you and looking forward to
more!
God Bless You, Joshua :)
Thanks Carole. It was fun.
I love what you said about house tours or photos of houses - I wholeheartedly agree with you it is important regarding context and important to not set people up to be comparing or for it to be like an insta influencer - There is a fine line between showing what works for you and people looking at it thinking they need to aspire to your likes/level or standard/ or spend money to get their house more like yours - for example I like how you highlight that minimalism is unique to each individual or family with their circumstances, work and lifestyle - for example you have cushions I don't have cushions it doesn't matter and it misses the point of all the mimimalism principles & I like your original book title optimal
😀
Always enjoy your videos, but I especially enjoyed seeing your personality shine in this live event! Glad to see you having so much fun!!
Yes a bit more relaxed! Thanks for tuning in.
Grazie per i tuoi consigli dall'Italia
This is greeting from Taiwan, I started to listen your video every morning while I am working out a month ago, you are so amazing and inspire me a lot. I also share some of your ideas with a tiding group I host , such as “reset”, thanks so much for contributions you provide.
Hoping I can get your new book here asap
Here in Bristol, CT. Keep up the good work and energy,!
Just watched the replay. It was great and I can’t wait for another one! ❤️
Going live again tonight! Hope to see you there. czcams.com/video/rBjWVyKPnNU/video.html
I am listening to your videos as I clean the house. I've been encouraged by your channel and hearing your perspective since I started the minimal lifestyle a couple years ago. We live in North Africa with four kids. Our lifestyle looks different from yourself and your viewers but the principles transfer over. All best to you! Blessings
Thank you Joshua, thanks to you I started to apply minimalism even more, I like drawing and sketching in nature, now that I have so much more time thanks to minimalism, I can really see how my sketching has improved. PS I love how you make things easy and negotiable for all of us. 👍👍👊Johan from Belgium🇧🇪
Hi Joshua,
Thank you very much for this video! It's great to bei seeing you more lively than in your other videos!
You inspired me to look even more attentively at what advertisements do to my mood and well-being and now avoid watching or reading them. IT really makes my life so much calmer and happier. Also I do like your vision for societies leaving consumerism behind. Thank you for your great Work!
Hi Joshua...watch all your videos, love 'em all. Been a minimalist for many years but with our last move realized that while I have always been well organized ( even had a business helping others) we actually had a lot more than we really needed though we never had clutter. So just being organized isn't always being minimal!
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦! Sorry I missed the livestream. I've been following you for some time, loving your topics and moving towards a minimalist life. Your segment on three things to buy to be happier is a real life-changer. Congratulations on your new book🎉🎊 Love your channel and love your faith.
Thanks Brenda.
I love love love the length of your videos comment! One of the main reasons I watch you. To the point.
Thank you for doing this. I'm watching it a year later because I wanted to learn more about you. Minimalism has been a scary word for me, but your explanation made me realize that I was a minimalist before I got married. Right now, I'm in a decluttering phase based on not getting rid of things that we don't use for the past 16 years. Your messages have encouraged me.
You have a good voice. I’m glad you did your own narrative.
I changed my style and life because of ur influence. Thank you so maam sir Joshua
I have just begun my journey to living a minimal life. I listen to your vids back to back while I am going through all my things... I bring my laptop with me to different rooms to tackle my closets, drawers and cubbies. It's a great help to keep me going. I started with two empty bins and quickly filled them by making decisions every time I walked into a different room. Then I loaded them into my backseat and headed straight to the Goodwill. I asked them for my bins back then brought them back into the house and left them close to the door in the kitchen. Throughout the week I'd fill them and run them to the goodwill on the weekends. Now I just have one bin in the car and I will place things into it throughout the week. I have made countless trips to the goodwill and haven't missed one thing. My sister asks me at least every other weekend to go shopping and out to eat so now I will look for clutter free things to buy like looking for nice matching wooden hangers to replace all my mix matched plastic ones, a scented candle, a pedicure... I did away with the countless number of vases under my kitchen sink so I am going to invest in one nice vase so I can start buying myself fresh flowers every couple weeks. Thank you for the motivation to find clarity in my life. Keep being you!!
You can do it Angela!
Love, love your content. Thank you and look forward to your book release. Many blessings.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the book.
You are awesome live!!!
I couldn’t watch live but watched after the the fact. I can’t wait for your book. Love your channel and your blog.
Hope you enjoy it!
Congrats Joshua!
Congrats on your first live!
Thank you! God wants simple solutions for our lives. Thank you for helping me come to simple solutions! I watch clutter bug and the minimal mom too.
Lives are good I just did kitchen pantry re do I’m from Australia and I have members from American love this decluttering stuff
I’m a mom who has 6 kids I homeschooled and I definitely had a larger inventory in that season. I’m now about to graduate son number 5 so I’ll be down to 1 student next fall. Love your videos but started following you probably 8 years ago before you wrote books. But your a favorite minimalist. Minimal mom is my #1 but your a close 2nd…😋 Can’t wait to read this book! Thanks for all you do and for changing FB with your thought provoking spiritual questions recently.
Thanks Stacy. I hope you enjoy the book. Thanks for tuning in and for the supportive words.
Joshua, for your Tshirts, you need to go into a J.Crew store and try on the shirts to see if you like the fit. Or just order one and see how it is before ordering more. Switching the country of manufacture does impact a brand's fit. Also, check out J.C. Penney's. No kidding. Their quality for men's wear is quite good. Also check out Uniqlo. Thank you for your fabulous work and this live stream. Love from Paris, France
LOVE WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE “HOUSE TOURS”
i knew there was a reason they just made me feel bad.
Wow. I love your short and to the point videos but you really shine doing live. Your dynamic personality really comes out here. Thank you and thanks for the ability to watch later. Could not make the live. 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
I'll be going live again tonight at 9pm ET if you're able to join czcams.com/video/rBjWVyKPnNU/video.html
Yes, a house tour will be super nice! You do not have to hide anything! ❤️
This minimalist thing is making my life and head so much better, so Thankyou for that Joshua, life in the world is complicated enough without my home being the same x
That's great Denise!
Great session, Joshua!
You changed my life one year ago! Thanks a lot for your work, for inspiration! Congrats for your new book from Canada
Thanks Nataliia. That means a lot!
I stock up when things go on sale. I buy enough to get me by until the next sale cycle which is typically about every six weeks. I like short videos but did enjoy this video as well. Dawn, the Minimal Mom also wears a lot of black for her "uniform".
Sorry… Another comment! Yes, you’re doing a beyond excellent job with your first live stream. I’m super impressed. Of course you have lots of experience, just saying you’re doing a great job
Darn it! Missed the live presentation. Have never seen you so amped up! Can't wait for the book to come out. I very minimally purchase one book a season - this will be it for Spring! (I read tons, but all e-books from the library.)
Hi Gienne! I'll be live again tonight at 9pm ET if you're able to join us czcams.com/video/rBjWVyKPnNU/video.html
Love this channel.. thank you so much Joshua for all of your inspiration, I have started to simplify our home, and it’s really amazing how little items mean… also I wake up at 4 am every day, and start work at 5 am! I’m done at 2 and able to enjoy the sunshine! Keep up the great work, can’t wait for your new book!..:)
That is awesome!
Thank you for all the effort you put into creating all this knowledge and then sharing it for free - bless you! :)
My pleasure!
Thank you for your presence on Utube! There is so much negativity online, it’s great to listen to someone who wants to help people live a life that matters!
I did your course and this inspired me to to start the uncluttered house group and I’ve found my own other ideas as well and it’s going great just wanted to say Thank you
Wonderful!
great job going live. I am in Bolivar MO.
Congrats
I thoroughly enjoyed your live!!
Thank you so much!!
