With this second week's theme, we reflect on God freeing us and inviting us to SPEND LESS!  It's not about guilt, but it's about of freeing ourselves from stressing about the things that don't matter and spending less of our money, time, and energy on them.  Click above to listen to our discussion on this, using the scripture for this Sunday, and reflect -
What does it spark in you?   
What could you spend less on?   
How are you feeling "spent?"  Hear that you are freed - and use this week as a time to reflect on how you could spend less...
From adventconspiracy.org:
Quick question for you: What was the one gift you remember getting for Christmas last year? Next question: What about the fourth gift? Do you remember that one? Truth is many of us don't because it wasn't something we necessarily wanted or needed. Spending Less isn't a call to stop giving gifts; it's a call to stop spending money on gifts we won't remember in less than a year. America spends around $450 billion dollars during the Christmas season, and much of that goes right onto a credit card. By spending wisely on gifts we free ourselves from the anxiety associated with debt so we can take in the season with a full heart.

Here's another video to inspire this week's reflection . . .
