Answering another listener’s question, we tackle having and creating balance in our busy lives. Balance in pursuing perfection is a difficult prospect. As the year begins, we explore “How do I have balance in my life between family and providing for my family?”: Work/Life balance, as it has been called. How do we do that? Well, we talk about that, first by defining balance in the context of the listener who asked us the question, and then we tackle it from the idea of Catholicism and God Himself giving us clues as to how to have balance. As opposed to a Work/Family paradigm, we need to have a God/Life balance.

Eventually it all comes down to being who we are supposed to be so we can then do what we are supposed to do to support our being.

It sounds simple, which it is. But it isn’t easy.

Using an example from a friend of ours, we get to the point pretty quick: Balance comes from the Eucharist.

If we are not focused on God, and what He wants for us, the natural consequence is an unbalanced life.

You’ll have to focus during this episode, as we continue to have technical difficulties due to our equipment that is falling apart. You may have to turn it up in some places: Kristofer’s audio is a bit muted at times, because of this broken equipment we cannot afford to replace (hint, hint). [DONATE HERE, PLEASE!]
