About this Episode
Summer Bonus Content:
Fr. Barry Cuba and St. Theresa Chief Operating Officer Chris Treadaway dive deep into the productive purpose of rest. From the "quiet summer work" happening on campus to the personal anxiety of packing and dog-boarding, they challenge the idea that work is our only meaningful endeavor.
They also explore the concept of "rest languages"—the realization that rest isn't one-size-fits-all. Whether it's woodworking, a grueling hike, running, or simply sitting by the pool, true rejuvenation looks different for everyone.
Tune in to hear why rest requires intentionality, how our brains synthesize ideas when we finally shut down, and why learning to let your mind wander is essential for spiritual and mental clarity.
