Habits and Formation

Episode 49.  In this episode, we are joined by Miguel Brown, our pastoral intern, and we discuss the importance of habits and how they form and shape us.  We bring three perspectives: 1) young/single/college age, 2) married with young kids, and 3) married/empty nest/new grandparents.

• Why are good habits important?
• Where do we see this biblically?
• What are some of your past and current good habits?
