It’s often the small, daily decisions that most shape our lives. These little, easy-to-overlook choices powerfully form our experiences, our impact on others, and the people we will become.
Justin Whitmel Early is a lawyer and author of the books The Common Rule, Habits of the Household, and Made for People. His next book is set to release in October 2025, The Body Teaches the Soul. Justin sat down with Jedd Medefind on the Justice and the Inner Life podcast in 2021 to discuss this very topic. The conversation has proved to be evergreen, a timeless exploration of truths and practical ideas relevant in every era.
A major breakdown in his own life forced Justin to confront the power of his habits – both for good and for ill. He began to see how small choices – often ones he wasn’t even aware he was making – were profoundly affecting him.
Justin began to see how habits are ultimately a form of worship, revealing what we most value and desire. He also began to notice – and then utilize for much good – the way that even small shifts in habits can remake a life.
This conversation between Justin and Jedd is one you don’t want to miss – and if you’ve listened before, it’s worth a replay!
We pray this blesses you as you asses your habits in the New Year and seek to live with the calmer, more self-giving and joyful heart that God desires for you.
