Episode 36: Bonus Content: Rest Languages with Fr. Barry and CFO, Chris Treadaway
<p>Summer Bonus Content:</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p>

Episode 34: Finding Balance
<p>Fr. Barry Cuba and J.D. McQueen sit down to tackle one of the questions they hear often: How do you find balance? Rather than offering a tidy formula, they start somewhere more honest — with the admission that balance is impossible without first knowing who you are. Drawing on the idea of "primary vocation" as a kind of operating system for life, they explore how knowing your deepest yeses makes it possible to say no with clarity and even freedom. Along the way, they talk about the noise of outside opinions and why getting the order right matters more than managing the schedule.</p>
