We wake up every morning to the pull of performance. “What do I have to do today?” Our phones, our schedules, and our own hearts scream for us to get busy and prove that we deserve what we're received. Justin Earley says, “Legalism is the belief that the world hangs on what I do and that God and people love me based on how I perform.”However, Psalm 23 gives us a very different picture of God. In verse five, the good shepherd becomes a lavish host, who welcomes his guests to his table and serves them with grace and kindness.

Pastor of Congregational Care and Missions Jason Dunn preaches about the covenantal relationship between Jonathan and David from 1 Samuel 18, illuminating the power of friendship and loyalty. Inspired by Justin Earley's book "Made for People" and insightful research on the perils of chronic loneliness, Pastor Jason helps challenge the notion that modern technology alone can fulfill our deepest need for connection.He also shows us Jonathan's extraordinary loyalty to David, even in the face of dire opposition from his own father, King Saul. This self-sacrificing friendship offers a powerful model for how mutual support can help us navigate life's adversities. Drawing on anthropologist Robin Dunbar's findings on the critical role human connections play in our health and longevity, Pastor Jason emphasizes that true friendships can indeed anchor us in stormy times.

In this episode, Jeff and Laura talk with Justin Whitmel Earley, a business lawyer, author, father, and husband. Our hearts tend to follow the habits we practice. Those habits sometimes convince us to believe the lie that we are limitless, omnipotent, and god of our days. Recounting his own experience with stress and anxiety, Justin shares that while we would never speak those untruths out loud, our actions and our habits often demonstrate what our hearts truly believe. Justin gives some practical applications around the habits we keep and how we can model them for the next generation.

In this episode:Justin Earley, author of 3 books, Habits Of The Household, The Common Rule, and Made For People, joins Heather to share his insight on the life-changing difference of navigating life with a community vs without. Justin shares how friendships impact our overall mental health and how anxiety and depression are baked into loneliness.Heather points out Justin's insightful quote: “You are in the overwhelming majority if you are lonely. The new normal. We are the most physically connected and yet spiritually isolated people who have ever walked the planet. This is a spiritual crisis, not just social, because this endemic modern loneliness because it's much more about your soul being hidden not just your body. It's deadly. Loneliness kills us, body and soul, because it's the opposite of what we were made for.”Heather and Justin unpack the make or break issue of choosing to struggle WITH other people or in SOLIDARITY. Also, how friendship are a spiritual discipline and ultimately, you cannot walk with Jesus like you're supposed to walk with Him unless you are walking in community.

This episode of the pod is me riffing briefly on the waiting that Holy Saturday interposes into the celebration of Easter, followed by a sermon that was part of Moncton Wesleyan's “Domino Effect” series.I'm releasing this episode just a few hours after what amounted to a historic Good Friday service in the city of Moncton. Officially 5 churches (and several others “unofficially”) joined together in remembrance, and it was immensely powerful. Right after the service, I got into a brief conversation with someone I know who'd been participating in Lent this year a little more intentionally than has been their typical practice. He said to me, “It was… less impactful than I thought it was going to be.” Honestly, to me, this was beautiful to hear. I feel we need to be honest with ourselves & with others, honest with our expectations, honest with our gains & with our losses. I acknowledged to this individual that this is often my experience, as well. The kinds of practices I advocate for in this podcast (and that I typically practice, to greater or lesser degrees) occasionally lead me to moments of significant impact. More often than not, though, they seem to lead me nowhere at all.Sometimes (often, even), Holy Saturday seems to lead us nowhere at all… but we can't see what's happening underground.(In my message I heavily reference Justin Earley's book The Common Rule.)

Join Kate and Sheila as they recap one of the most impactful books they've read this year. Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley starts with a powerful rephrased Frederick Douglass quote, “It is easier to raise strong children than to repair broken men and women” and then he goes on from there to supply readers with the nuts and bolts (ideas) on how to raise strong kids. Favorite quotes abound! Here are just a few: “The heart always follows the habit.” “Nothing important is easy.” “The struggle against boredom is really just the struggle against a fallen imagination.” “Send kids to bed with a settled soul.” “The human heart is never not being shaped by something, it is not a car, there is no neutral.” “The final role of a parent is to keep looking to Jesus.” The Pyramid of Discipline is a blessing to both kids and parents! It starts with loving authority for the foundation. There are 5 parts to the second level: 1. Pause 2. Prayer 3. Body Language 4. Understanding 5. Consequences Level 3 Confession Level 4 Reconciliation (he has his boys hug until they smile) : ) He discusses how limits are positive (not a surprise to those who've read the Boundaries book) and connects it to Jesus taking on the limits of being a man, disciplining Himself into a life of sacrifice. Why? So we could be free from the ultimate limitation of sin and death. We loved the sending prayer for families as they are leaving the house: Father, thank You for this day. Bless us as we work, study, and play. Be present with us in all we do. May we bring glory and honor to You. In Jesus name Justin suggests lighting a candle before mealtime and having the children say, “Jesus is the light” Then he shares a game he came up with out of necessity (the mother of invention) called The Pepper Game. Whoever is holding the pepper shaker asks a question then he/she passes the shaker. The holder of the shaker answers the question and passes the shaker to the next person. We tried this out with young and old and it was a hit! Everyone learns to listen! Trust us, this book is TOO good to miss! It will bless you in a plethora of ways! Adding value to daily routines that will impact your kids for the rest of their days! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/recapbookchat/message

No matter how old you are or what season you're in, friendships are so important, but not every friendship is the same! On today's episode I welcome back lawyer and author Justin Earley to talk about the differences between friendships and why having covenant friendships are so important. Justin Earley graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in English Literature before spending four years in Shanghai, China as a missionary. Justin got his law degree from Georgetown University Law Center and now runs his own law practice in Richmond, Va. Justin frequently speaks at business and legal events on habits, technology, and mental health; and at churches and conferences on habits, spiritual formation and parenting. He is married to his wife Laura and has four sons. It's so important to have those friends in your life that not only “get” you, but also lovingly challenge you. I love my friends who have spoken into me and challenged me to be the woman God has called me to be! I hope you leave this conversation desiring to have friends and be a friend at a deeper level!

In 2021, Justin Earley joined the Women & Work team for a live disucssion about his book The Common Rule: Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction. Justin Earley provides concrete, doable practices, such as a daily hour of phoneless presence or a weekly conversation with a friend. These habits are “common” not only because they are ordinary, but also because they can be practiced in community. They have been lived out by people across all walks of life―businesspeople, professionals, parents, students, retirees―who have discovered new hope and purpose. In this Q&A, Courtney Moore, founder and president of Women & Work, and Courtney Powell, Ministry Content Director covered topics with Justin such as: His transition from full-time missionary to lawyer Habits as Formation A Theology of Work How our Daily Habits Redeem Our Work and Reorient our Minds The Freedom of Daily Habits Rhythms of Rest Boundaries and Limitations in our Work Habit and Heart Formation in the Home

In this week's episode, we're picking up 'Habits Of The Household' by Justin Whitmel Earley. Join us as we delve into the seemingly mundane daily rituals that, in reality, hold a profound influence in our lives. We're all guilty of dismissing these small tasks as trivial - scrolling on our phone, deciding what to eat, or even how we put the kids to bed. However, it's time to reconsider their significance. After all, anything we do every day makes up a significant portion of our lives.

Jake started the book Habits of the Household by Justin Earley, which is about the work of creating patterns and practices in your home that let you disciple your kids in godliness. So we have a good conversation about that, PLUS a little more N.N. Taleb talk at the top of the show!

Can friendships make or break your life? Justin Earley claims that friendship is literally a matter of life or death, both physically and spiritually. He also shares what this means for you and what the keys to practicing the art of friendship are. Listen in and hear how you can truly “save your life."
What is your routine? What are the things in your life that get ongoing attention? What are the essential things that get dropped or forgotten? The truth is that our routine reveals our priorities. Our habits tell a story of who we are. It communicates what is most important as we allocate our minutes, days, and years. In his book, ‘Habits of the Household' Justin Earley says, “Good or bad, a rut is a rut, and our brains love ruts.” How do we get out of a rut? How do we reevaluate the focus of our days? And most importantly, how do we encounter Jesus in a meaningful way as part of our daily rhythms? This week, we will look at the story of Mary and Martha and what Jesus teaches us about our need to connect with Him despite all the tasks that need to be done. Jesus is not another task. He doesn't want to be on an empty to-do list. Encountering Him is the spiritual practice that we need in every season of life. Please pray for Pastor Steve and the team as they prepare the service. We are looking forward to what God is going to do this Sunday!
I'm grateful for Justin Earley's sermon this Sunday that reminded us of the great themes of this Advent season: darkness, waiting and light. We'll continue to reflect on those themes this Sunday we we look at the next Song of Christmas from Luke 1:67-80, Zechariah's song.
Key Takeaways The heart follows the habit. Nothing, in the household, is normal, until it is. Put conversation in simple places, like car rides, so we don't become people of absence.

He is married to Lauren and has four sons – Whit, Asher, Coulter and Shep. He graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in English Literature before spending four years in Shanghai, China, as a missionary. Justin got his law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center and he now runs his own business law practice in Richmond, Virginia at Earley Legal Group. His book, The Common Rule – Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction, was published with InterVarsity Press in 2019. He frequently speaks at businesses and legal events on habits, technology and mental health; and at churches and conferences on habits, spiritual formation and parenting. His second book, Habits of the Household – Practicing the Story of God in Everyday Family Rhythms, released with Zondervan in November of 2021. Justin also writes fiction and poetry, and is working on a children's book. Key Quotes (Full Transcript of the Conversation Here) 22:53 - "The idea of a pause prayers, before approaching a moment of discipline, have a short emphasis on short moment of prayer in your head, just to say, Lord, help me discipline this child like you discipline me, which is full of grace and truth, right? And it could just be Lord help, but some way of looking up to God before you look down at them so that you can be more like the God who parents you as you parent them." 27:49 - "I want to step on that so much because the fact that you fight with your kids or your spouse is completely ordinary. That's what happens to everyone in every family, whether you reconcile with your spouse and your kids, it's completely unordinary, that's what barely ever happens. And that's why families often go the way they do, in dysfunction. So the question of a Christian household is not whether we fight, we all do, question of a Christian household is whether we reconcile to them the way God reconciles to us. You need habits for that."

Morgan preached on Matthew 28:16-20 and discussed our mission at Redeemer to create mature disciples of Jesus Christ. We want to become a worshipping community loving God and our neighbors. He discussed the disciples and how they doubted that Jesus really arose. They doubted so that we might not doubt. Our journey is complex and may waver between trusting and questioning and that's OK. The disciples were no different than us. We should not demonize doubting and realize those seasons happen to all of us. Doubting faith is actually a sign you have faith. "Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong. It may be a sign that he is thinking." Oswald Chambers Keep in mind that Jesus is not a perfectionist about who he can use. The doubting disciples spread the gospel across the world. He can use you too! The church needs to be a safe place for some to wrestle with doubt and be able to openly share in community doubts they may be having. Morgan continued in vs 18 pointing out how it starts with a statement of power "All authority has been given to me." and ends with a statement of promise "I am with you always." We are to make disciples by doing the following: Go, Baptize and Teach. The word "disciple" is used 269 times in the bible compared to the word "Christian" which is used 3 times. Disciple is the primary image given to those following Jesus. We can claim to be Christians our whole lives and not be disciples. We can say all the right words, do all the right things, and not be a disciple. "Talking about Jesus while ignoring the way of Jesus has created an American Christianity that is far more American than it is Christian. Paying all our spiritual attention to the message of Jesus while ignoring his practices has not only led people like me into a devastating life crisis, it has also created a country of Christians whose practical lives are divorced from their actual faith. How else do we explain a country of Christians who preach a radical gospel of Jesus while assimilating to the usual contours of American life?" Justin Earley Has the local church failed in helping with a plan to create disciples? We are all being shaped and formed by someone or some thing. We need that to be Jesus. We are to become mature disciples of Jesus Christ. If we focus on making disciples, we will grow the church. If we focus on growing the church, we may not create disciples. Continue to pray and discern who God is placing in your path. Morgan emphasize we are to make disciples of ALL nations and ALL ethnicities and closed by inviting all of us to intentional discipleship. Jon then introduced a new topic on work and faith. What does God and the word say about work? Work can and should be a beautiful thing with purpose. If you do not evangelize those at work, it doesn't mean you were not faithful. This was just the beginning of the topic around vocational discipleship. https://redeemerwichita.church/
On the eighteenth episode of the Family Discipleship Podcast the hosts (Adam Griffin, Chelsea Griffin, and Cassie Bryant) talk about Habits of the Household with author, husband, lawyer, and father Justin Whitmel Earley. You can follow Justin here on instagram and you can connect with him on his website here https://www.justinwhitmelearley.com/. Questions we asked Justin in this episode: For those who have not read the book, can you tell us a little about it and why you wrote it? Can you explain habits of the household as liturgies? Can you speak a little bit to why parents need to develop better habits in discipline instead of just going with our instincts? How does the gospel impact what you say to your kids in moments of discipline? Can you explain what you mean in that chapter on discipline when you say parents should “insist on apologies as confession”? Is there any example from you and Lauren's home that could help remind our listeners that you are not perfect at this either? What can you say to encourage the family that has tried and tried and tried to form new habits and they feel like they keep failing? When a mom or a dad gets to the end of the book, what do you hope they walk away with? What do you hope they feel? How do you hope to shape their view of God? Before we let you go, would you mind sharing with us, what are the prayers you have for your kids right now? If our listeners want to pray for you, what can they ask God for on your behalf?Some of our favorite quotes from Justin Earley in this episode:“The ordinary stuff is the extraordinary stuff. The normal domestic moment Is the place of incredible spiritual formation and that to me is incredibly exciting as you think about parenting. You are in a world of thick spiritual formation where bedtimes, mealtimes, car rides, how you pass a plate at dinner, how you pray, everything you share, is the training ground for hearts to learn to love God and love their neighbor.” “Lord, help me remember that I am more like them than I think and help me to respond with the grace and truth that you give me.”“I ask my kids, “Do you know that I love you no matter what you do?”” “It is a given of life that we will sin against each other, but what is not a given is whether or not we will reconcile. Practicing small acts that lead us into confession, repentance, and reconciliation – that's really the difference between a house that's being formed in the image of the story of the bible and a house that just knows it but doesn't act like it.”“None of our habits will change God's love for us. That's good news. But what's even better news is that God's love will change our habits.” “God is the truest and most loving parent that any of us have. Most of parenting is not how we are shaping our kids but rather how God is shaping us and our kids.” Resources mentioned in this episode:The Common RuleHabits of the Household“Christ calls us to care for those living in poverty—including parents working hard for their children's future.

IMbetween Podcast on Marriage, Parenting, Faith, and Everything In Between
Whether you realize it or not, parenting happens in habits. We make meals, we get in cars, we answer SO many questions, we discipline, and we do bedtime. So much of our relationship with children happens through these ordinary rhythms of the day, and yet how often do we go through these motions as if they were meaningless? How often do we just blaze through these mundane “chores” to finally get some “me-time?” In this episode, Justin will show us how ordinary routines are actually extraordinary opportunities to live out the love of God in a profound way. He'll give us the tools we need for parenting and discover spiritual meaning in the everyday moments of waking, mealtimes, screen time, and bedtimes. We trust that you'll find this episode inspiring and useful in establishing new habits and intentional rhythms around your everyday routines. We hope that by seeing these mundane moments as spiritual practices, your family will have a greater sense of peace and purpose as your home becomes a place where everyone learns how to love. Justin Earley is a writer, speaker, and lawyer from Richmond, Virginia, and the author of an award-winning book on habits and spiritual formation. But, most of all, he is a dad who is married to Lauren and spends a lot of time wrestling his four young boys.

The formation of good habits and the appropriation therein by the bad is a perennial topic of concern for Christians aiming to live a life worthy of their calling. See Ephesians 4:1.

Then, later in the semester, we will tackle Habits of the Household. For more on Justin and his work, go here and here. You can also follow him on Twitter at @Justin_W_Earley.

Are spiritual disciplines really helpful, or just busy work? Justin Earley, author of "The Common Rule," says we all have habits we do without thinking. What would happen if we built habits into our lives that aligned our hearts with our Creator?
We become our habits. And our kids become us. This is why carefully choosing the habits of our household is one of the most significant things we can do for our children's spiritual formation. Justin Earley joins us to talk about discovering simple habits and easy-to-implement daily rhythms that help us find meaning beyond the chaos of family life. The goal? To create a home where kids and parents alike practice how to love God and each other.

Gordon West and Adam Ormord welcome Justin Earley to the KidZ at Home Podcast to discuss the habits that form us.Justin Earley is a husband and father, an attorney, a former missionary to China, a speaker, and an author. Justin hosts a blog, "The Common Rule," and is the author of the recently released book: "Habits of the Household: Practicing the Story of God in Everyday Family Rhythms.This is part two of a conversation we began in Episode #2, "Purposeful Life Practices," with Melissa MacDonald. We're excited to continue the conversation with Justin on the topic of purposeful life practices, also known as a "rule of life."Having purposeful life practices is all about finding ways to create space to be with God, so we can be transformed us by God's Spirit. These habits are not imposed on us as burdensome obligations. They are invitations to enjoy rhythms which will bring us into abundance. These routine practices are gifts that will refresh, rejuvenate, and re-center us – and our children - in the loving presence of God.Recommended Resources:The Common Rule (www.thecommonrule.org)To download our free Resource Guide for this episode, please visit www.kidzathome.org and scroll to the bottom of the page.

Looking for a way out of the frazzle and rush of life? Whether you are an administrator, teacher, or parent, the practical wisdom from my guest today is just for you. Justin Whitmel Earley endured his own season of crisis and discovered the power of habits in a transformational way that fundamentally changed his family life by finding meaning and order in what can feel like the daily chaos of raising children. These same principles of habit are at work in every classical Christian school as we intentionally work to form what our children love with similarly impressive results.

There seems to be a pandemic of nihilism these days among young people. What do you say to the person who has lost their faith, talks of suicide, wonders about the silence of God, or sees no meaning of any kind in life? So often, Christians seem to have nothing to say. But maybe not saying anything at all is the very best place to start. One cultural critical has said that the kind of secularism and atheism we experience in America today is not a conclusion but a mood. "And if secularism is not a conclusion but a mood," Justin Earley writes, "we cannot disrupt it with an argument. We must disrupt it with a presence." Pastor Chris' heartfelt sermon included a confounding passage in John's gospel, an extended (and important) quote from Columbanus, and a pivotal scene from the movie "Silence."
On your journey to get unstuck and live a more intentional life (i.e., escape moral adventure), it's important to be equipped with the proper tools. Today, we'll discuss one of those tools: Fasting. We'll chat about what we can learn from the Bible about this topic, some purposes for fasting, as well as a few tips. Below are resources we used to gather information for this episode: 1. The Common Rule: Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction by Justin Earley 2. https://www.christianity.com/bible/9-reasons-fast-other-than-swimsuit-season.html 3. https://www.christiantoday.com/article/5.reasons.why.christians.fast.during.lent/105105.htm 4. https://www.gotquestions.org/fasting-Christian.html
Moral Adventure is the posing of questions, criticisms, difficulties, or rationalizations resulting in the avoidance of taking right action. Being stuck in moral adventure is more common than you may think, but what might that even look like? In this episode, we give a few specific examples of how you might be stuck and possible ways out.

‘The modern world is a habit formation machine’, writes author Justin Earley. We will be formed and shaped by something, unintentionally by the habits and rhythms of modern life - or intentionally, as we reject the distraction and anxiety and consumerism of our modern world to live for the love of God and neighbour. In 2020, we’ll begin each quarter thinking about the rhythms that shape us. CLICK for Bible readings: Psalm 1 and Acts 11: 19-26. CLICK for Bible reading: Matthew 11:28-30.

You've probably felt it at some point in your life. Monday comes around and you think, "I just need to make it through the week." There's so much more you were created to do than just work a 9 to 5 job. But fulfilling the calling God has on your life doesn't always seem straightforward. Justin's book, The Common Rule, came about through failure and his own struggle to figure out what it means to follow the call of God as a lawyer.

Justin Whitmel Earley was just about to turn 30 when he had a complete anxiety collapse. The years that followed were extremely dark. He went from being a former missionary in China, to a few short years later, an anxious lawyer, medicating with alcohol. He felt like a failure as a father, husband, worker and human being in general. In his recovery, Justin discovered that habits form us more than we form them. He believes the answer to our contemporary chaos is to practice a rule of life that aligns our habits to our beliefs. His new book, The Common Rule, offers four daily and four weekly habits, designed to help us create new routines and transform frazzled days into lives of love for God and neighbor. These are concrete, doable practices, such as a daily hour of phoneless presence or a weekly conversation with a friend. These habits have been lived out by people across all walks of life―businesspeople, professionals, parents, students, retirees―who have discovered new hope and purpose. I can’t wait for you to meet him. Here’s the interview on the Dear Daughters Podcast Episode 79. SUBSCRIBE IN ITUNES SHOW NOTES Visit Justin’s website here.

JUSTIN’S LETTER TO HIS YOUNGER SELF Knowing what I know now, I would have first, gently told myself, there is SO much hope. Suffering and trials and personal failure are real but God’s grace and redemption means that EVEN those things will be used for his good. It doesn’t erase the suffering, but it does help in walking through those things differently. Want to write a letter to your younger self?

“We become what we repeatedly do”–Sean Covey. Every year as the calendar flips, many of us get caught up in the dream of change, and in so many ways this is a beautiful thing. Justin Earley writes, “There is common grace in a calendar that regularly presents us with opportunities to reconsider how we live. The flurry of resolutions made this time of year reminds us that we really do long to be made new.” But true renewal is only The post A Rule of Life: Habits, Not Resolutions appeared first on Hoover Church of Christ.
Are spiritual disciplines really helpful, or just busy work?Justin Earley, author of "The Common Rule," says we all have habits we do without thinking. What would happen if we built habits into our lives that aligned our hearts with our Creator?
We are back! This week we are sharing a conversation we had with Justin about how he came to create The Common Rule, a set of daily and weekly habits designed to form us in the love of God and neighbor.

Each winter, we take a month to get on the same page as a church. We combine our adult Sunday discipleship classes and study an issue together that has bearing on how we live our lives as Christ-followers--no matter what age or stage of life we find ourselves in. This year, we will gather to look at the theme: The Art of Neighboring. Our goal is to help our church explore what it really means to love our neighbor-- including how to love our neighbors!-- as we launch our Parish Life ministry.
In the first of this new series “Audio Appendix," Corey has a conversation with Third member Justin Earley on his own struggle with time, vocation, habit and the Christian life.
Join us this Sunday as we explore God's plan and intent for our work and vocations. Sermon by Justin Earley.
