Abbey and Madison are joined by their good friend Rachel Gilman for this episode of Bristlecone Firesides. Rachel is a writer and teacher and has many good things to say about living a simple life.
The world we live in has turned us into consumers. Buying and producing seem to be the solution to whatever problem we face. The goodness of simple living can get lost in the buzz of our modern world. In fact, this hyperactive need for productivity can worm its way into our spiritual life in the form of Prosperity Gospel. This way of living the gospel is a plague on American Christianity. What does The Book of Mormon have to say about prosperity? How can we root out our addiction to Prosperity Gospel through grounded and simple living? And what wisdom can we learn from one of the most grounded Mormons, Lowell Bennion?
