The Spiritual Impact of Everyday Habits: Insights from 'Habits Of The Household' by Justin Earley

What if your everyday habits are shaping your family's hearts more than you realize? In this episode Aaron and Jennifer Smith review Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley, a book about the spiritual impact of the seemingly mundane rituals of family life. Jennifer shares quotes on how habits form deep ruts you have to practice your way out of, why the heart follows habit, and why there is no neutral, since the human heart is always being shaped by something. They discuss Earley's chapters on waking, on screen time and teaching kids about sex, identity, and consumption before screens do, on family devotions, and on marriage as the covenant habit that holds all the others together, plus the family age chart that shows how little time remains before kids grow up.
