Create a Gospel-Centered Rule of Life

Habits form us more than we form them. The modern world is a machine of invisible habits, forming us into anxious, busy people. We yearn for the freedom of the gospel but remain shackled by our screens and exhausted by our routines. How can we truly break free, find rest, and form a life that aligns our habits with our foundational beliefs?

According to Justin Earley, the answer is a rule of life. The Common Rule's four daily and four weekly habits transform frazzled days into lives of love for God and neighbor.

In The Common Rule, you'll find
doable, life-giving practices to find freedom and rest for your soul,expanded content including study guide questions for individual reflection and group discussion, andpractical, accessible resources for building habits that bring life.
Take the first step toward a life of intentionality and discover how simple, meaningful habits can transform your everyday moments into a rhythm of peace and purpose.
