How Dana K. White Found Hope in Christ

April 3, 2025 · 1 hr 1 min

In this episode, Haley and Dustin sit down with Dana K. White, author of Jesus Doesn’t Care About Your Messy House and host of the popular podcast A Slob Comes Clean.

Dana shares her hope story of how the Lord helped her navigate an ongoing struggle with a messy house. They discuss the emotional impact that clutter and disorganization have on so many people and common misconceptions about cleaning and spirituality, such as “cleanliness is next to godliness.”

Dana provides helpful tips for managing clutter, but more so, she shares how Jesus gives us grace and sets us free from guilt, shame, and lies about “not having it all together.”

Subscribe to the podcast and tune in each week as Haley and Dustin share with you what the Bible says about real-life issues with compassion, warmth, and wit.

So you have every reason for hope, for every challenge in life. Because hope means everything.
