In the first TIPS episode of 2025, Ashlie and Gilbert welcome to the podcast Pastor Matt Popovits, founder of Make It Simple⁠ Ministry, which is “committed to sharing the Christian message in a clear and compelling way and equipping others for effective communication and confident leadership.” Matt talks with us about his new book, Junk Drawer Jesus: Discarding Your Spiritual Clutter and Rediscovering the Supremacy of Grace⁠, and he shares two common religious junk drawer items, the scale and the party hat, as examples of how to examine the religious clutter of our lives and compare it to the person and promises of Jesus.
