Living With Less Podcast
153 episodes - English - Latest episode: 7 days ago - ★★★★★ - 114 ratingsThe Living With Less Podcast was birthed in 2019 when the Lord placed the words “live with less” on Chelsey’s heart. She wondered what you're wondering too, "what am I being called to live with less of?" You'll hear all about that in these episodes through her own personal stories on what God is teaching her, diving into scripture, and having conversations with guests.
A little more backstory: As Chelsey began diving deeper in prayer about the phrase "live with less", The Lord led her to John 3:30, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” Since that prompting He has continued to challenge, change, and shape Chelsey’s heart and grown this ministry into more than anything she could've imagined. Her first book More of Him, Less of Me: Living a Christ-centered Life in a me-centered World was published in November 2021.
