Which activities give you energy and connect you with God? Do you know what behaviors are life-draining for you, separating you from God? Simplicity is about choosing the engaging, relational life we were meant to live. It means shedding obligation and pretension. It means spending: time, energy and money. in ways that help us become clear-headed. It means being intentional about what we do and how we live.
