Benedict and Scholastica

Host Karen Wright Marsh tells the story of Benedict and Scholastica, the twins who altered Western civilization. She explores their wisdom with pastor historian Tim Tseng. 

Stressed out, overwhelmed, and overworked? Is it possible to achieve that ever-elusive work/life balance? Benedict and Scholastica, two surprising 5th-century Italians, want to show you the brilliant and practical secrets to a good life of play, work, prayer, community, and rest.  

Guest Dr. Tim Tseng is all about helping Jesus followers flourish wherever faith and life intersect. He is currently the Pacific Area Director for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship’s Graduate and Faculty Ministries (GFM). His ministries have included being a seminary professor, scholar, founder of a non-profit organization, and pastor. Tim’s heart aches for a generation of students and leaders who will awaken the world to God’s redemptive love.
