Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
One of the quiet but powerful lessons we’ve learned through simplifying our lives is this: peace must be chosen. It does not simply arrive at our doorstep—we must make room for it, guard it, and nurture it. For so long, we allowed the pressures of life to dictate our schedules, our purchases, and even our prayers. But pressure and peace cannot dwell in the same heart. One must surrender to the other.
The Word of God offers a better way. “Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble with it” (Proverbs 15:16). That verse speaks not only of finances, but of priorities. Great treasure—whether material, social, or professional—can bring with it great anxiety if God is not at the center. When we choose to simplify, to release what we do not need, we step away from pressure and toward peace.
You may find, as we did, that the world will not understand this decision. Some may question why you’re letting go of certain commitments or possessions. But when your soul is quiet, your family is strengthened, and your time is spent in the presence of the Lord—you will know you’ve chosen well.
Today, choose peace over pressure. Choose stillness over striving. Choose what draws you into the presence of God and leads your family in His way.
With a heart at rest in Him,
Brother Jesse
