From the Heart of Brother Jesse – Friday, April 11, 2025 – The Gift of a Simpler Life

Dear Faithful Friends,

As we conclude this week of reflection on the third pillar—The Simplification of Life—I want to leave you with this truth: a simpler life is not an empty life; it is a full one, filled with what matters most. It is rich in peace, in presence, in prayer, and in purpose. It is a life less crowded by noise and more open to the quiet leading of the Holy Spirit.

My wife and I didn’t realize just how much we had allowed the world to steal our time and attention until we began letting go. What we found was not loss—but freedom. Freedom to pray without hurry. Freedom to connect with each other deeply. Freedom to worship without distraction. We are not perfect in this journey, but we are more aware, more intentional, and more grateful.

Dear friend, simplifying your life is not just about organizing or reducing—it is about reordering your life according to God’s priorities. It is about making room for holiness, for joy, for quietness, and for truth. It is about returning to the feet of Jesus and choosing, like Mary, what is better.

I encourage you to take a quiet moment this weekend. Ask the Lord to show you one way you can continue to pursue a simpler, God-focused life. Then walk forward in that calling with confidence, knowing that every step closer to Him is a step toward peace.

With simplicity and grace,
Brother Jesse
