Why Is Gen Z Drawn to Pope Benedict XVI?
Why are so many young Catholics suddenly drawn to Pope Benedict XVI?
Gen Z grew up in a noisy, anxious, often confusing world—where identity, truth, and belonging can feel uncertain. Pope Benedict offered something different: a clear invitation into relationship with Jesus Christ. For him, faith was not just about rules or ideas, but about belonging to the Person of Jesus.
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim explores why Pope Benedict’s message resonates so deeply with Gen Z. From beauty and sacred art to silence, adoration, clarity, and the search for truth, Benedict speaks into many of the things young people are hungry for today.
Father Tim also reflects on Benedict’s love for beauty, his fight against relativism, and his quiet life of prayer after the papacy, showing why his witness feels so compelling to a generation searching for something real.
Belonging. Beauty. Silence. Truth. Maybe that’s why Gen Z gets Benedict.
Living Encounter with Christ
Christianity is not just a thought, an idea, or another “ism” to study. It is a living encounter with a Person: Jesus Christ.
There are plenty of philosophies and systems that can change the way we think. But Christianity is different. It doesn’t just change our minds, it changes us.
Because at the heart of our faith is not an abstract concept, but the living Body of Christ. Christianity is alive because Jesus is alive, and He invites us not just to believe something, but to become someone new in Him.
Flicker & Burn: Sonja Corbitt
Catholic author, Scripture teacher, and “Bible Study Evangelista” Sonja Corbitt joins Rob Kaczmark for a personal conversation about conversion, suffering, core wounds, boundaries, and healing from trauma.
Raised Southern Baptist, Sonja’s love of Scripture eventually led her to question the divisions she witnessed within her denomination. Her search brought her to the Catechism, the Eucharist, and ultimately the Catholic Church, even as her conversion created years of tension within her marriage and family.
Sonja shares how prayer, patience, Our Lady, and St. Joseph helped move her family toward unity. She also explains why loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength provides a practical framework for healing the whole person.
Together, Rob and Sonja explore recurring emotional triggers, forgiveness, healthy boundaries, and the connection between spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Their conversation offers an honest look at how God restores identity and interior freedom through slow, faithful transformation.
Limited Men
Have you ever felt like everyone needs something from you, and you just don’t have enough to give?
In this episode, the friars reflect honestly on leadership, fatherhood, responsibility, and the ache of being limited. Whether it’s emails, texts, meetings, ministry, family needs, or people asking for more than we can offer, there is a real poverty in wanting to love well while knowing we cannot do everything perfectly.
They talk about the humility of naming our limits, the importance of healthy boundaries, and the grace of admitting, “I am a limited man.” This isn’t about giving less or closing our hearts. It’s about learning how to give ourselves freely, honestly, and with Jesus, trusting that our limitations are not obstacles to His work.
For parents, pastors, leaders, and anyone feeling stretched thin, this conversation is a reminder that we do not have to be infinite. We are invited to be faithful, poor, generous, and dependent on the One who never runs out.
Join us as we learn to accept our limits and let Jesus meet us in the poverty of what we cannot carry alone.
When Life Falls Apart, What Do You Hold Onto?

The 10 Commandments Explained (For Kids)
God gave us the 10 commandments to Moses a long time ago to teach us basic rules for living in love, the way God wants us to. Theyre like an instruction guide. And even though they are really old, Jesus thought they were important too. Those rules are still good for each one of us to know and live by today. The first three commandments talk about how you should treat God. The other 7 are for the way you treat others. Lets learn about each commandment and what it means for us!

Jesus’s Favorite Things: Repentance
What does repentance honestly look like? A good way to look at repentance is that it brings us back to love. It’s one of Jesus’s favorite things because he sees our hearts and desires change so that we do not live sinfully anymore. Repentance is not just about wanting to change our behaviors; it’s about wanting to change because we love God; it’s sorry because we love God and don’t want to live our old lives…
The Gil Hodges Story | Soul of a Champion
Spirit Juice is proud to present a documentary on the incredible career and inspiring life of Gil Hodges, a baseball legend who was one of the greatest first basemen to play the game.

Obedient To Jesus
By location, being in two places at once. You know who could do that? Kill me. Padre Pio, reading other People’s Souls. You know who could do that? Who? Padre Pio. Loving Jesus with his whole heart. Who could that be? Yeah, you guessed it. Padre Pio. Pope Benedict the 16th set about Padre Pio. There were significant and epic things he would do, but what made him a saint wasn’t any of those things….

Stories of our Blessed Mother Mary
There are so many reasons why Mary is special to us. She is the Mother of Jesus and as disciples of Jesus, we ourselves can also accept Mary as our Mother. Mary continues to inspire us to love Jesus more every day. It’s like if Jesus shines bright like the sun, Mary is like the moon that reflects his light. In this episode, we’ll talk about who Mary is, play out some of our favorite stories about Mary, and show why we love our blessed mother so much. Check the video out and let’s get started!

We will explain the significance of Ash Wednesday, why people receive ashes on their foreheads, the meaning behind the ashes, and how Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season.
A Quick Dose of Hope
Borrowing Peace
What if peace isn’t something you have to create on your own?
In this episode, the friars reflect on the gift of “borrowing” from Jesus. His peace, His confidence, His mercy, His steadiness, especially when our own hearts feel overwhelmed, anxious, or shaken. Like a child borrowing calm from a loving parent, we’re invited to bring our storms to the One who is never overcome by them.
They explore how Jesus offers us His very life: in prayer, in the Eucharist, and in the quiet steadiness of His presence. When we feel disregulated, afraid, ashamed, or unable to hold everything together, we don’t have to manufacture peace by ourselves. We can receive His.
This conversation is an invitation to return to Jesus in the boat, Jesus in the Eucharist, Jesus who gives His body and His peace to us so that what we receive from Him can become what we offer to others.
Join us as we learn to borrow peace from Jesus, and become a place of calm, mercy, and safety for others.
God Does Not Abandon You
You may have prayed long, asking the Lord to give you a good spouse, but none is coming. Oh, you are married. You have been praying for a child, and none is coming, and you want to get a new job, and there is no job. It seems he’s not hearing you. You ask, “Why me?” I tell you, you’re not alone. It happens every day with many people. But I want to assure you that the Lord did not abandon you. When Christ cried…

A season of hope and of promises fulfilled. Expectant hope, with confidence that the Lord is good and is at work for our good…
The Dark is Not Your Home

A Hoodie Bet That Might’ve Went Too Far!
What happens when faith meets a little friendly competition? In this Pope Leo Gameshow segment, things heat up as contestants risk hoodies, wedding rings, and even their dignity in the ultimate Catholic trivia showdown! From guessing the Pope’s ride in Peru to testing their knowledge on his favorite sport, this crew brings laughter, energy, and brotherhood to the street.

What happens when the Pope isn’t just in Rome, but from your own backyard? In this segment, Bishop Louis Tylka of Peoria shares his reflections after the Papal Mass at the White Sox stadium. Once a priest in Chicago, now a bishop, he speaks about the joy, energy, and blessing of celebrating faith together and the closeness Catholics feel knowing Pope Leo XIV is one of their own. From imagining papal names to joking about the first Pope on the moon, this candid conversation blends humor with heartfelt truth: the Pope may live in the Vatican, but his roots in Chicago bring a sense of family, affection, and unity that the Church needs today. ✨ “Because he is from here, there’s a closeness we feel… and that grows into affection.” — Bishop Louis Tylka

Hope in the Pope
In this video, we meet Laura Chavez from Los Angeles, who traveled to Chicago not just to see her son but to stand before the simple childhood home of Pope Leo XIV. What she found wasn’t extravagance or grandeur, but something far more powerful: a reminder that the Catholic Church is not perfect, but it is true. Laura shares her heartfelt reflections on faith, simplicity, and why Pope Leo XIV offers her such hope for unity in the Church. From humble roots to the Vatican, his story echoes a deeper call: live simply, love your neighbor, and return home to the faith. ✨ “This is the true church, not the perfect church… but we need our Catholics to come back home.”
Catholic Questions. Honest Answers.
Why Is Gen Z Drawn to Pope Benedict XVI?
Why are so many young Catholics suddenly drawn to Pope Benedict XVI?
Gen Z grew up in a noisy, anxious, often confusing world—where identity, truth, and belonging can feel uncertain. Pope Benedict offered something different: a clear invitation into relationship with Jesus Christ. For him, faith was not just about rules or ideas, but about belonging to the Person of Jesus.
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim explores why Pope Benedict’s message resonates so deeply with Gen Z. From beauty and sacred art to silence, adoration, clarity, and the search for truth, Benedict speaks into many of the things young people are hungry for today.
Father Tim also reflects on Benedict’s love for beauty, his fight against relativism, and his quiet life of prayer after the papacy, showing why his witness feels so compelling to a generation searching for something real.
Belonging. Beauty. Silence. Truth. Maybe that’s why Gen Z gets Benedict.
Is It a Sin to Watch Mass Online?
Is watching Mass online the same as actually going to Mass?
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim explains the difference between praying with a livestream Mass and being physically present at the Eucharist. A livestream can be helpful, prayerful, and meaningful, especially when someone is sick, has mobility issues, or truly cannot get to Mass. But it can never replace the warmth and reality of receiving Jesus in the Eucharist.
Using the image of a fireplace on YouTube, Father Tim reminds us that a livestream may give the “vibe,” but it cannot give the warmth. In the same way, watching Mass online can help us pray, but it is not the same as being in the presence of Jesus and receiving His Body and Blood.
If you truly cannot attend Mass, the Church does not call that sinful. But if you can go and choose comfort over Communion, it becomes a heart check.
Jesus doesn’t want to be loved from a distance. He wants to be close, so close that we receive Him.
When Is the Pope Speaking Infallibly?
How do you know when the Pope is speaking infallibly?
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim explains what papal infallibility actually means and why it happens far less often than many people think. The last time a pope spoke infallibly was on November 1, 1950, when Pope Pius XII declared the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Papal infallibility, also called ex cathedra, happens when the pope formally defines a teaching on faith or morals from the chair of Peter. It is not every homily, interview, opinion, or public statement. When it happens, it is clear, formal, and a major moment for the whole Church.
Father Tim also explains why the Assumption mattered so deeply in 1950: in a world wounded by war and ideologies that treated people like disposable parts of a machine, the Church proclaimed that the human body is good, sacred, and made for glory with God.
Papal infallibility is not something to fear. It is a gift Christ gives His Church to protect truth, strengthen faith, and remind us that the Lord continues to guide His people through the papacy.
Why Do Catholics Call Mary Queen of Heaven?
Where does the Bible call Mary the Queen of Heaven?
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim explains why historical context matters when we talk about Mary’s role as Queen. In the Davidic kingdom, the queen wasn’t usually the king’s wife, it was the king’s mother. Known as the Gebirah, the queen mother held a place of honor and intercession, bringing the people’s needs before her son.
That Old Testament context helps us understand Mary. If Jesus is the King of the universe, then Mary, His mother, is the Queen Mother, the one who intercedes for us and brings our needs to her Son. Father Tim also points to Revelation, where a woman appears clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars.
Mary is not a distant figurehead. She is our mother and queen, always leading us closer to Jesus.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us.
Why Do Catholics Call Priests Father?
Didn’t Jesus say, “Call no man father”? So why do Catholics still call priests “Father”?
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim explains what Jesus really meant in Matthew 23:9. Looking at Scripture, St. Paul, the early Church, and the meaning of spiritual fatherhood, he shows that Jesus wasn’t banning the word “father”. He was warning against ego, pride, and religious titles used for self-importance.
A priest is called “Father” not because he replaces God the Father, but because he shares in and points back to the fatherhood of God. For priests, the title is meant to be humbling: a reminder to love, serve, sacrifice, and become better spiritual fathers.
There is only one true Father. Priests simply share in His fatherhood, and point us back to Him.

Prayers for Right Now
Prayer for Students
Prayer for students is vitally important in culture today. School campuses are full of temptation and negative influences targeting students. Prayer is a way to influence students to make wise choices and excel in their studies. There are many topics in the curriculum that will impact their decision making for years to come. Our youth and young adults approach a time of their lives where they will make significant decisions about careers, marriage, children, and other life choices.
Prayer of St. Francis
The anonymous text that is usually called the Prayer of Saint Francis (or Peace Prayer, or Simple Prayer for Peace, or Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace) is a widely known Christian prayer for peace. Often associated with the Italian Saint Francis of Assisi (c. 1182 – 1226), but entirely absent from his writings, the prayer in its present form has not been traced back further than 1912. Its first known occurrence was in French, in a small spiritual magazine called La Clochette (The Little Bell), published by a Catholic Church organization in Paris named La Ligue de la Sainte-Messe (The League of the Holy Mass). The author’s name was not given, although it may have been the founder of La Ligue, Father Esther Bouquerel. The prayer was heavily publicized during both World War I and World War II. It has been frequently set to music by notable songwriters and quoted by prominent leaders, and its broadly inclusive language has found appeal with diverse faiths encouraging service to others.
Serenity Prayer
“The Serenity Prayer” is the common name for a prayer written by the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, born in 1892. Niebuhr, who first wrote the prayer for a sermon at Heath Evangelical Union Church in Heath, Massachusetts, used it widely in sermons as early as 1934 and first published it in 1951 in a magazine column. The prayer spread through Niebuhr’s sermons and church groups in the 1930s and 1940s, and was adopted and popularized by Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve-step programs.
Prayer For Spouses
Praying together as a couple and praying individually for your spouse is one of the most powerful weapons you have against divorce and for building intimacy in your marriage. Praying together not only brings us closer to each other, it deeply reinforces our relationship with the Lord.
Show Us Your Christ
A short prayer to Mary, asking for the grace to catch a glimpse of her Son, even while we are still on our Earthly journey that “we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.”
When Life Feels Heavy
On Comparison and Insecurity
Have you ever looked at someone else’s gifts, vocation, prayer, family, or life and suddenly felt like you weren’t enough?
In this episode, the friars talk about the very human struggle of comparison and insecurity. Whether it shows up in ministry, community, relationships, social media, or the hidden places of the heart, comparison can quietly pull us away from the truth of who we are in God.
They reflect on how insecurity is often connected to deeper narratives we have picked up along the way, the stories that tell us we are less than, not gifted enough, or somehow behind. But the Father does not compare His children. He sees each of us uniquely, loves us personally, and invites us to live from the truth of our identity instead of the fear of not measuring up.
Join us as we learn to bring comparison and insecurity back to Jesus, and let His voice remind us who we really are.
Is My Past Too Messy for God?
Have you ever looked at your past and wondered, “Could God still use someone like me?”
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim answers one of the most human questions of faith: what if my past is too messy for God? Looking at figures like David, Moses, Abraham, Peter, and Mary Magdalene, he reminds us that God has always worked through flawed people, not because of their sins, but because they had faith and let God be God.
Your past doesn’t scare Jesus. Your weakness doesn’t disqualify you. God only has flawed instruments to work with, and He can still use your life to build something holy.
You are not too far gone.
You are not too broken.
You are still called to be a saint.
Is your LIFE getting HARD?
Kristin is a mother of seven kids, working full-time in banking, and the founder and creator of One Hail Mary at a Time. This video is an introduction and a beautiful, inspiring story of a Catholic mom who shows us that we are all called to be a saint wherever we are in our lives.
Recover From Failure
Having trouble recovering from a setback? Remember this. Jesus already gave us an example. Do you remember when he was going to Calvary? How many times did he fall on the road? Three good times. And each time, what did he do? He picked up his cross and continued because he aimed to serve and redeem us. So he must pick up his cross and continue. How do you recover from failure? You recover from failure by not…

Prioritize Your Soul
Have you guys ever heard of the term skinny fat? Yeah, it’s a thing. It’s a person who looks pretty normal on the outside, but on the inside, fat is growing over all of their organs. Even though you may look fine on the outside, it’s a silent killer. This weekend, we’re celebrating All Souls’ Day, where if we don’t take care of our souls, that’s like…
Dump The Garbage
Do you know who the unsung heroes of our society are? Garbage men. They do everything that we do not want to do. Garbage men and women, we salute you. In the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus speaks about Gehenna. Gehenna also means hell. But Jesus uses the word Gehenna because Gehenna was the area of Jerusalem that was the garbage dump, and Jews were not allowed to go there. Jesus is…
Start Small
Okay, so if you’ve ever been to the jungle or the rainforest or are just Indiana Jones, you may have used a mosquito net before. The crazy thing about mosquito nets is that the holes of the mosquito net are bigger than the mosquito’s body. A mosquito could crawl through but can’t because it doesn’t know how to fold its wings and crawl through a hole bigger than its body. In this Sunday’s…
Let Jesus Clean House
This happens in professional sports all of the time. A team is on a losing streak. The owner is not happy. And so the owner brings in a new coach to clean house. In this Sunday’s gospel, Jesus enters the temple and cleans house. He is not satisfied with his home being violated. The crazy thing is that we are also a home for Jesus. We also have a temple within our hearts for the…
Give It To God
We can’t do anything more to earn God’s love, we have it already! We can be weak, we can be poor, and we can be sinners—and that’s okay. We can bring all that to the Lord and that’s where we start. Jesus doesn’t want us to give him the…

For the Beauty of the Earth
“For the Beauty of the Earth” is a Christian hymn by Folliott S. Pierpoint (1835-1917), performed in one take by artist Pat D’Angelo. Pierpoint was 29 at the time he wrote this hymn; he was mesmerized by the beauty of the countryside that surrounded him. It first appeared in 1864 in a book of Eucharistic Hymns and Poems entitled Lyra Eucharistica, Hymns and Verses on The Holy Communion, Ancient and Modern, with other Poems.
Fr. Pontifex – Invasion of the Light
Over a year in the works, our team is proud to present “Invasion of the Light”, a music video featuring Fr. Pontifex. The presence of the Eucharist within the video emphasizes the strong contrast between authentic beauty from Jesus and the desolation of modern culture. The light found in the wasteland shows there is hope, even in the most grim of area or circumstances. “Invasion of the Light” is the first single from Fr. Pontifex’s album, Letters from the Wasteland.
Bring Them Home
Lana Chalfoun’s father was a Christian Refugee who fled his war-torn country and found a safe home in the United States. She wrote “Bring them Home” to encourage us all to open our hearts and homes to those in need.
Chosen
Music video for the song “Chosen”, performed by Joe Melendrez. If you think you’re alone or forgotten, you are chosen by God. God doesn’t care if we’re sinful, afraid, or weak – He chooses us everyday!
Christ the Lord Is Risen Today
Recorded live at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, Michigan, a group of incredibly talented seminarians performed their rendition of the traditional classical Christian hymn associated with Easter, “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today”. The hymn eventually became well known for its repetitive “Alleluias” sung after each line, which were added by an unknown author to fit the commonly used hymn tune of “Easter Day”. It remains a traditional processional hymn on Easter Sunday.

On Gossip
Have you ever realized that a “harmless” conversation can sometimes start to tear someone down?
In this episode, the friars talk about gossip, why it can be so easy to fall into, why it often feels like connection, and why it never really gives us the communion we’re looking for. Whether it happens at work, in friendships, in community, or around the people we love, gossip can quietly train our hearts to tear down instead of build up.
The friars reflect on the deeper questions beneath gossip: What am I seeking here? Am I trading authenticity for connection? Am I willing to let my discipleship reach even the way I speak about others?
This conversation is a gentle invitation to bring Jesus into our words, our relationships, and the places where we feel tempted to belong at someone else’s expense.
Join us as we learn to speak with greater charity, courage, and freedom, and let our words become a place where Christ is present.
