In this powerful episode, Ruslan KD sits down with lawyer, author, and spiritual formation advocate Justin Whitmel Earley to unpack the intersection of habits, faith, mental health, and purpose. Justin shares his deeply personal story of anxiety, burnout, and the turning point that led him to rediscover the ancient Christian practice of spiritual disciplines — not as legalism, but as a path to flourishing.From missionary work in underground Chinese house churches to the high-stress world of corporate law, Justin reflects on how unchecked ambition and tech-driven distractions almost destroyed his health and family. Through simple, consistent rhythms like “Scripture before phone,” Sabbath rest, and weekly community, he found renewal — and now helps others do the same.
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.
