The Body Teaches the Soul: Habits for a Healthy & Holy Life with Justin Earley

Finding Peace in Anxiety
Published on 16 Oct 2025

In this episode, we sit down with Justin Earley — business lawyer, speaker, podcaster, and author of numerous books on habits and spiritual disciplines. 

Justin shares his journey of walking through a season of anxiety and burnout and how God used it to reshape his view of life and faith. We dive into his new book, The Body Teaches the Soul: Ten Essential Habits to Form a Healthy and Holy Life, exploring common misconceptions about the body and spirit, biblical truths about embodiment, and practical habits that nurture physical, mental, and spiritual health. 

This conversation is full of both deep theological insights and simple, everyday practices that can help you live a more grounded and grace-filled life.
