Summary

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! The Common Rule offers four daily and four weekly habits, designed to help us create new routines and transformed frazzled days into lives of love for God and neighbors.

ORDER A COPY OF JUSTIN'S BOOK HABITS OF THE HOUSEHOLD! Habits of the Household provides tools you need to create structure--from mealtimes to bedtimes--that free you to parent toddlers, kids, and teens with purpose.

0:00.0	You are listening to the Famous at Home podcast with Dr. Josh and Christy Straub.
0:06.0	Because when it's all said and done, we all want to know that we were famous at home.
0:16.0	Welcome back to the Famous at Home podcast. Today we have a friend on the podcast who's also been on the podcast before. If you
0:24.4	remember Justin Whitmill early, he is here again. He wrote the common role. But this time,
0:31.4	he's got another book out that I am absolutely devouring. We've started implementing these strategies in our own home.
0:40.6	Habits of the household. Practicing the story of God in everyday family rhythm.
0:47.1	And we were talking before we jumped on, like just how our hearts are so aligned and how we lead
0:52.5	our families, both spiritually and
0:54.8	emotionally and what liturgy is. And so I just want to just at the outset say there's such
1:00.7	a synergy here in this, in our friendship and our relationship that as you listen, this isn't,
1:07.9	as you know, if you've listening to our podcast for a while, you know we just don't
1:12.0	have random people on. The people that we have on our podcast are people we love, we know, and we
1:17.2	trust. And this is, this is the top, this is the, this is the cream of the crop right here.
1:23.2	So, Justin, welcome to the podcast. Thanks, Josh. I love that.
1:28.1	I love that kickoff because I've been telling people, Anna, I write in the book that I write
1:33.4	from the trenches here, like in the fray.
1:36.1	And it's so good to be talking to somebody who I know is in the trenches with me and also
1:39.9	just has a strong synergy on what all that the Lord can do in these trenches.
1:45.5	So I'm excited for this conversation. Me too. And it is, when you say trenches, define that. Because I think
1:50.5	everybody listening right now has an idea what that looks like. Because I know everybody
1:53.8	listening is in the trenches. Just define that for you. Yeah. So this happens in the household, as you just mentioned, is my second book. And my first one, the common rule. I've realized the great similarity between these books is not necessarily habit or habit as liturgy. The great similarity is that they both came out of crisis for me. So the common rule is born out of my crisis of really falling apart with anxiety and realizing
2:21.9	that the way I had ordered my life was just tilting me down this, you know, American slope
