Why Sleep Is Spiritual Formation | Justin Whitmel Earley

If your habits preach one gospel and your life with God another, your body is the missing piece. Justin Whitmel Earley joins Win Today to unpack a practical theology of the body: how posture, meals, media, and especially sleep shape your emotional health and spiritual attention. We expose the two ditches (ignoring the body vs. idolizing it) and show how to rebuild rhythms that honor created order.

Inside you’ll discover:
– Why embodied habits are the front door of formation
– How to stop ignoring or idolizing the body
– Why sleep is a spiritual practice (and how to fix it)
– Simple household habits that disciple attention and affection
– How to live inside created order in a hurry-sick world
