Ep. #163 - Pope Leo 14 Shows Us How To Rest
You’re praying, working, helping others, checking the boxes—doing good things.
But deep down… it still feels like it’s never enough.
Because the world (and sometimes even your own heart) keeps whispering, “Do more.”
But what if rest isn’t weakness? What if leisure is holy?
In this episode, we talk about what Pope Leo XIV just reminded the world when he left Rome for his summer retreat house—a powerful and much-needed witness that even the Pope needs time to step back. We unpack the Catholic understanding of leisure, why it matters, and how rest is a form of trust in God, not laziness.
This episode is your permission slip to slow down—and your challenge to see rest as worship.
