We live in a culture that celebrates hustle, but God commands something different: rest.

From vacation mindsets to sacred rhythms, join us as we unpack why Sabbath rest might be the very thing that saves us from the burnout we’ve come to accept as normal.

In this episode, we reflect on the sacred responsibility of speech as baptized Catholics. Drawing from the 2nd Commandment—“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain”—we explore how our everyday words can either honor God's name or diminish His presence in the world. From moments of frustration to casual conversations, how often do we forget that our tongues are meant to carry the Light of Christ?

Join us as we look at Scripture, tradition, and the power of reverent language—because every word we speak is a chance to reflect the One who speaks life into us.
