Work inevitably becomes one of our greatest spiritual blessings or one of our greatest burdens. That's how spiritually important work is.

Continuing a series on the book ⁠⁠⁠⁠Habits of the Household⁠⁠⁠⁠ by Justin Whitmel Earley, we reflect on:

• the Biblical theology of work
• how discussing and modeling work helps kids understand the true goals of work
• and ways to invite kids into work so they can begin fulfilling their purpose now

It is a terrible fiction to imagine we can be good mothers and fathers without being good husbands and wives. In the story of God, the strength of the household depends on the strength of marriage.

Continuing a series on the book ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Habits of the Household⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ by Justin Whitmel Early, Tyler and Virginia reflect on how marriage is treated lightly instead of a sanctifying process and discuss several practical tips recommended by the book to strengthen your marriage.

In family spiritual formation, it's not about perfect practice, it's about moving from nothing to something.

Continuing a series on the book ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Habits of the Household⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ by Justin Whitmel Early, Tyler and Virginia discuss how God isn't looking for perfect people because He already has Jesus, how doing something even imperfectly can be deeply impactful for your family, and the power of short statements and prayers.

At the core of being a parent is setting wise limitations for your children so they can thrive within the boundaries.
Continuing a series on the book ⁠⁠⁠⁠Habits of the Household⁠⁠⁠⁠ by Justin Whitmel Early, Tyler and Virginia discuss the freedom found in limitations set by God, the power of screens to shape us, how parents set the standard through example on screens, and a ton of wise limitations for you to adapt to help you curate screentime in your household.

Discipline is not a tool for controlling behavior. It is a process of disciplining a child's heart toward right loves.
Continuing a series on the book ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Habits of the Household⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ by Justin Whitmel Early, Tyler and Virginia reflect on the wide gap between what parents want in disciplining and what kids need from discipline, recognize that the goal of discipline is not about gaining control of an out of control situation, and highlight that when reconciliation is the goal of discipline we are right discipling our kids toward Jesus.

Eating is not just about surviving, it is a ritual of communing with others that allows us to thrive.
Continuing a series on the book ⁠⁠⁠Habits of the Household⁠⁠⁠ by Justin Whitmel Early, Tyler and Virginia discuss how coming together to the table positively impacts a family's overall well-being, how viewing your existing routines through a liturgical lens can show you what it is subtly teaching you about God, the world, and yourself, and how a simple invite to share a meal can bring someone into your household and into God’s family.

Everyone wakes up, but not everyone wakes up to reality. Plenty of us live with a skewed sense of the world partly because our wake-up routine sets the tone for our day and the tone it sets isn't leading us anywhere good.
Continuing a series on the book ⁠⁠Habits of the Household⁠⁠ by Justin Whitmel Early, Tyler and Virginia discuss how prayer, smartphones, and the last moment before you walk out the door all play a major factor in what your heart, soul, mind, and body will focus on and draw from for the rest of the day.

Whether you painstakingly planned out your daily routine or adopted what worked along the way, each of your habits are impacting what you believe is true and are shaping you into a particular kind of person.
Kicking off a series on the book Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Early, Tyler and Virginia discuss how your habits not only determine the lenses through which you view the world but also create a framework for everyone in your family to live by.
Through the book and this podcast series, Tyler and Virginia, alongside the book, make the case that it is through intentionally choosing your habits and routines that you set yourself and your family up to follow Jesus well.
