Ceasing from Over Consuming
Lent 2026: Week 4, Episode 7
What if we stepped out of the cycle of craving and acquiring long enough to remember who we are? In this episode of Creative Thinking, Kim Thomas examines the practice of ceasing from overconsuming. By loosening our grip on material things, we clear the surface of our lives so that what truly satisfies can finally sink in.
Kim’s Notes:
“Most people seek after what they do not possess and are thus enslaved by the very things they want to acquire.”
Anwar El-Sadat
“Materialism is organized emptiness of the spirit.”
Franz Werfel
