Do you ever feel like you’d like to start a new habit but you just can’t make yourself do it? In today’s episode of the Christian Habits Podcast, I interview Ian Warner, an expert on habit stacking. Ian created a habit tracking app. Interestingly enough, the number one positive habit that people want to build is reading the Bible each morning.
Ian Warner is a follower of Christ, Olympic athlete, NCAA all-American, and the author of two books. In the podcast, he gives a wealth of information and ideas on how to use habit stacking to start habits that are hard to start.
Here are a few of the things we discuss on the podcast:
- Tips for starting a quiet time habit.
- How to habit stack—adding the habits we want to start to the habits or activities we already have in place.
- The value of starting out small.
- Habit stacking during those difficult times of the days such as the 3:00 mid-afternoon slump.
- How to use rewards to get yourself to do new habits.
- Using times such as the morning “making-your-coffee” session to set yourself up for success.

Barb, this was a great podcast – thank you! I especially loved how you burst into laughter about creating a habit of “running 10 miles every day.” I also laughed at the same time, so thanks for affirming me! :)
Haha, I guess we’re on the same page, Ali. So funny. :) I’m glad you enjoyed the podcast. I found it super helpful as well. I need to re-listen to it and think some more about doing that! I have started one little habit stack since I talked to him and found it to be super helpful!
