116 | Finding Gospel Grace in Household Chaos. With Author and Decluttering Expert, Dana K. White - PART 1

Hi friends,Does it feel like you’re forever sorting, scrubbing, and shuffling stuff—yet your home never looks any closer to “done”? In this candid conversation, bestselling author and No‑Mess Decluttering Method creator Dana K. White shares how God used the “thorn” of her perpetually messy house to spark a spiritual transformation—one that now helps thousands move from overwhelm to a truly functional home.
Inside the episode you’ll discover:
The freedom of “functional, not finished.” Why the Proverbs 31 woman isn’t a perfection checklist—and neither is your house.
Breaking the shame cycle. How to ditch guilt, embrace how God wired your brain, and start where you are.
Faith in the middle of the mess. What Scripture really says about clutter, and how your untidy testimony can point others to Jesus.
Whether you’re waiting for God to “fix” your mess or wondering if order will ever stick, Dana’s story proves progress beats perfection—and your heart matters more than spotless countertops.
🎧 Listen now and trade endless decluttering for practical hope, simple steps, and a faith‑first perspective that lasts long after the laundry’s folded.
