Summary

Our "Best of" summer series concludes this week with one of our most downloaded episodes of this past season. We believe it speaks to where we are as a culture with the hustle we feel. This episode is about bringing freedom to your life through practical, easy-to-implement, daily habits.



The modern world is a machine of a thousand invisible habits, forming us into anxious, busy, and depressed people. The trouble is that our habits are almost invisible to us. In fact, habits form us more than we form them. So what can we do about it?



Welcome to The Common Rule: Habits of Purpose in an Age of Distraction. In this week's episode, we interview Justin Whitmel Earley, a mergers and acquisitions lawyer who nearly crashed and burned in his own panicked lifestyle. As a husband and father to four young boys, Justin knew he needed help.



In what turned out to be a fateful moment of self-discovery, Justin's compelling story led him to create The Common Rule, four doable daily and four weekly habits designed to help us create new routines and transform frazzled days into lives of love for God and neighbor.



Looking for a doable routine for your family that leads to freedom and rest for your soul? This episode is for you.

And interestingly, one of the highest listened to episodes we had the last season, and I think it speaks to where we're at in our culture, was an episode we did with a friend of ours named

0:52.0

Justin Whitmell Early.

0:53.1

And he wrote a book called The Common Rule, Habits of Purpose in an Age of Distraction. And I think for so many of us, this is

really about getting down and setting daily habits in a way that bring back life to us.

You're going to listen to his interview and where he was. He's a lawyer.

I didn't even know what it was and ended up in the emergency room, really having panic attacks.

was so transformative and I think that's why we had so much feedback about it because it wasn't

like some giant thing. It was these small daily changes that changed everything. And not only that,
