Habits of the Household with Justin Whitmel Earley

Have you ever put your kids to bed feeling like you failed them? Maybe in your attitude or how you acted toward them? Justin Whitmel Earley noticed some patterns in his own life and started to question the kind of influence he was leaving on his kids in the trenches of day-to-day life, or what he calls the liturgies of the day. We all have a liturgy in how we live our lives. The question is whether our attitudes and actions as parents support the lessons we teach. In this episode, Justin Whitmel Earley is back on the podcast to talk about his new book Habits of the Household, and what it looks like to discover simple habits and daily rhythms for your family.Josh and Justin talk about:* How to live in congruence between what you teach and how you live as you parent your kids and live life at home in the trenches.* The spiritual impact of habits functioning as liturgy, and how it freed Justin's life from anxiety.* The power in implementing a liturgy of presence over absence in your home.Show Notes:ORDER A COPY OF JUSTIN'S BOOK THE COMMON RULE!
