May 17, 2024 Handing Down Our Faith to the Next Generation Pt. 1 with Justin Earley
In this episode, Jeff and Laura are talking with Justin Whitmel Earley, a business lawyer, author, father, and husband. Our hearts tend to follow the habits we practice. Those habits sometimes convince us to believe the lie that we are limitless, omnipotent, and god of our days.
Recounting his own experience with stress and anxiety, Justin shares that while we would never speak those untruths out loud, our actions and our habits often demonstrate what our hearts truly believe. Justin gives some practical applications around the habits we keep and how we can model them for the next generation.
