Justin Whitmel Earley on Made for People, Loneliness, and Covenant Friendship

I’m excited to welcome back one of my favorite guests in this episode of Filter. I had the privilege of talking with Justin Whitmel Early about his new book, Made For People. Justin is insightful, clear, and practical as always. We discussed the theological foundations for friendship, what Justin calls “covenant friendship,” and practical ways to cultivate these kinds of friendship.

Justin Whitmel Earley is a lawyer, author, and speaker from Richmond, VA. He graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in English Literature before spending four years in Shanghai, China, as a missionary. Justin got his law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center, and he now runs his own business law practice in Richmond, Virginia at Earley Legal Group.

His book, The Common Rule – Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction, was published with InterVarsity Press in 2019. He frequently speaks at businesses and legal events on habits, technology, and mental health; and at churches and conferences on habits, spiritual formation, and parenting. His second book, Habits of the Household – Practicing the Story of God in Everyday Family Rhythms, was released with Zondervan in November of 2021. Justin also writes fiction and poetry and is working on a children's book. He is married to Lauren and has four sons – Whit, Asher, Coulter, and Shep.
