Show Notes

Welcome to episode 170 of the Restoration Home Podcast! We are delighted to have Justin Whitmel Earley, author of Habits of the Household and his newest book The Body Teaches the Soul. We live in a time where mental health issues are chronic, stress. is high, and whatever we might believe about the goodness of God, we often live in a highly anxious state with habits that deny any belief in the goodness of God. This conversation with Justin is incredible. He brings scripture backed research to illustrate the importance of breathing, sleep, and why our habits inform our soul. We were created to be still before God, with brains that can create and dream with God, and breath that can reduce stress. So often we live with habits that stress us out and keep us running on empty. We hope this episode gives you inspiration for resting in Christ, enjoying the discpline of sleep and breathing, and encourages you to take back your mental and emotional life.

Sleep as a spiritual discipline We were created to be able to sit still and know that God is God. When your body is wrecked, your sleep is interrupted by stress, it is God trying to tell you that something is wrong in your life Breathing as a spiritual discipline What you belive will be defined by the habits that organise your day The Body Teaches the Soul by Justin Whitmel Earley The Common Rule by Justin Whitmel Earley Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley

Welcome to episode 208 with Carl and Laura Lentz, the former pastors of Hillsong New York. Their story made headlines in 2020, but it was the beginning and not the end. The Lentzes' story is an incredible redemption arc of surrender, choosing wholehearted redemption, forgiveness, and returning Jesus to the center, rather than hiding in shame, reaction, or bitterness. In everything we do, Christ is the foundation: for our children, our communities, our lives, and the Kingdom of God. In an era of divorce and choosing personal happiness over the marriage covenant, this episode is an important reminder of healing and discovering the reward of a love that lasts.
