Episode 299 – Winning Summer
What does it actually look like to rest well?
As summer begins, the friars talk about how to enter a season of more space, flexibility, and rest without drifting into idleness. Whether it’s summer break, vacation, weekends, or simply a change of rhythm, these moments can become a real gift, but only if we bring Jesus into them.
In this episode, they reflect on the difference between true Sabbath rest and just checking out. Rest isn’t a break from prayer, charity, or our relationship with God. It’s an invitation to receive life with Him in a new way with intentionality, joy, good recreation, and space to be renewed.
They also offer practical encouragement for staying grounded: keep prayer at the center, stay connected to others, choose wholesome fun, and look for small ways to love each day.
Join us as we learn how to win summer, not by doing more, but by resting with Jesus and letting Him renew what matters most.
