Hey friends, it's Matt Popovitz. For far too many, faith has become a burden, just another frustrating

part of life filled with obligation and expectation. They're wondering, why am I holding on to it?

In my new book, Junkdraer Jesus, we examine the spiritual clutter we've collected that bogs us down

and wears us out. It's a guide to making

space again for grace, to tossing the clutter and keeping Christ. Order your copy of

junk drawer Jesus today and join me in rejecting the mess and rediscovering the simplicity

of Christ for you.
