Make Room: Decluttering Your Life to Welcome What God Has Next

A new episode of the I AM HER Podcast is out—and it hits deep. How can God pour into our lives if there’s no room to receive?

In this powerful conversation, Pastor Lisa and Bekah walk through what it truly means to make room by decluttering not just our physical spaces, but also our mental load, spiritual distractions, and overcrowded calendars. This episode is for the woman who feels stretched thin, overwhelmed, or ready for a fresh start.

Together, they unpack fasting, accountability, planning, and intentional living, challenging listeners to release what no longer serves them so God can bring new growth and new blessings. If you’re stepping into this new year expecting transformation, it begins with letting go.

Their prayer is that every listener enters the new year lighter, focused, convicted, and inspired—fully aligned and ready to receive everything God has prepared.

Pslams 5:3

19:23 Bekah says she bought a house in 2025 and the forst thought when she went to look at the house she looked around and said where in this house can I sit with God. Referencing Psalsms 5:3 again what does sitting with the lord look like for you right now?

What in our day is not producing any impact? For Lisa its social media. She challenged herself to stay away from social media on the weekends.

25:01 2. Declutter our minds. Are you stuck in the same mental cycle. How much can your mind carry? 2 cor 10:5 take captive every thought Romans 12:2 be transformed. If you’re negative maybe you need to have more faith. What you say matters. Are you gossiping or always ready to give your judgement or opinion. What if we replace negative thoughts and words with positive. Rather than saying you dont have something focus on what you do have.

29:21 keep jesus and his word as your daily focus. Verse Apart from me you cant do nothing. Plan your week starting on Sundays proverbs 16:3 commit to the lord. Planning for most is not their greatest strength but this is how we can simplify our lives so that we an give glory to God. God is structured. So we need to structure our lives to fit around him.

Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity.
