Summary

In this episode:

Justin Earley, author of 3 books, Habits Of The Household, The Common Rule, and Made For People, joins Heather to share his insight on the life-changing difference of navigating life with a community vs without. Justin shares how friendships impact our overall mental health and how anxiety and depression are baked into loneliness.

Heather points out Justin's insightful quote: “You are in the overwhelming majority if you are lonely. The new normal. We are the most physically connected and yet spiritually isolated people who have ever walked the planet. This is a spiritual crisis, not just social, because this endemic modern loneliness because it’s much more about your soul being hidden not just your body. It’s deadly. Loneliness kills us, body and soul, because it’s the opposite of what we were made for.”

Heather and Justin unpack the make or break issue of choosing to struggle WITH other people or in SOLIDARITY. Also, how friendship are a spiritual discipline and ultimately, you cannot walk with Jesus like you're supposed to walk with Him unless you are walking in community. 

Justin leaves listeners with the encouragement that if you're feeling like your life is falling apart because you don't have the right friendships, you're right. God will meet you there and He will guide you out of that place of feeling "stuck". Justin provides tangible next steps to show up and speak up -- how to look at your week and identify 1 hour where you can show up for a friend.

Justin ends the conversation by sharing tangible parenting takeaways about bedtime liturgies with his kids and how they incorporate bedtime blessings into their home. He also shares his 1 hour screen-free RESET each day.  

In the marriage corner:

Eric and Heather open up the PARENTING corner with a hilarious story from their 5 year old, Finn, about presidents! The "parenting corner" ends with Eric praying over the listeners, blessing their relationships, marriages, and children.
