Podcast Overview

Joyful Seriousness explores the sacred work at the heart of Lasallian spirituality and ministry—the call to participate in God’s saving work through education. The podcast reflects on the profound responsibility of forming young people while also celebrating the deep joy that comes from working in schools and accompanying students in their growth. This spirit of joyful seriousness emerges when the professional and spiritual dimensions of our vocation come together in service to something greater than ourselves: the building up of the Kingdom of God through our ministry, our relationships, and our shared commitment to the young people entrusted to our care. <a href="https://joyfulseriousness.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast">joyfulseriousness.substack.com</a>

In this episode, I talk with Lasallian educator, administrator and author Tim Joy, whose work reflects a deep attentiveness to the value of stories and the quiet unfolding of a life’s calling. With warmth and clarity, Tim shares the story of his vocational journey from student to teacher to administrator. This conversation is rich with wisdom and keeps getting better and better as it goes on. We reflect on teaching, purpose, and the subtle ways we come to understand who we are meant to be.
