## Resource

This week, Blake and Jamie sit down with Justin Whitmel Earley—author, lawyer, and father of four—to talk about habits that shape the heart of a family. Justin shares his story of going from missionary life to corporate law, from breakdown to deep formation, and how he discovered that small, ordinary rhythms can become spiritual lifelines. They unpack what it looks like to build a household of peace in a world that runs on hurry, noise, and distraction—and why habits of love, presence, and prayer matter more than ever. This conversation blends theology and practicality, inviting us to see that the way we live each day is forming the people we’re becoming. Takeaways Habits aren’t just productivity tools—they’re ways of shaping love and attention. Children learn what peace feels like through the rhythms of their parents. Morning prayer, shared meals, and nightly blessings anchor the home in presence. Hustle culture and hurry are spiritual forces that disconnect us from God and others. The household is the front line of formation—and the place where grace meets real life.
