Justin Whitmel Earley on Habits of the Household, Parenthood, and Spiritual Growth

Most of us struggle to keep up with the hustle and bustle of life, especially those who have kids. If you’re the parent of small children like me, you know how often it feels as though we are just trying to survive until bedtime. My guest on today’s show says that it’s possible for us to overcome some of that overwhelm while also better discipling our children. He argues that the secret is in the habits that our family is built around. His name is Justin Whitmel Early and we had an excellent discussion about his new book Habits of the Household. 

Justin Whitmel Earley is a writer, speaker, lawyer, and founder of The Common Rule, an online resource center for Christians seeking Kingdom-formed habits that can sustain them in an age of chaos. This project, and its bestselling, award-winning book by the same name, arose out of Justin’s personal breakdown in the middle of becoming a father and a lawyer. Ultimately, his life and sanity were saved when he embraced a reformation of habits. Today, as a husband and father of four boys, and a sought-after speaker at churches and conferences, Justin continues his mission of empowering God’s people to thrive through life-giving habits that give meaning to our days. He and his family live in Richmond, Virginia, and you can follow him online at www.justinwhitmelearley.com.
