Should Catholics raise their hands during the Our Father at Mass?
Should you distance yourself from a child who’s lost the faith?
How do you love your enemies (when they hurt your family)?
In this rapid-fire episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim responds to these real and sometimes “spicy” questions with clarity and pastoral wisdom. He explains why the Mass is about unity and obedience, not self-expression, why you can stay close to a loved one without abandoning truth, and why prayer is never a resignation but resistance.
Rooted in Scripture and the lives of the saints, this episode explores how to live your faith in real-world tension, how to hold boundaries, how to defend your family, and still love like Christ.

Holy Thursday (Holy Week Retreat)
What are you trying to be known for, and is it actually enough?
On Holy Thursday, Father Tim reflects on the gift of the priesthood and the Eucharist, but also something deeper about identity. The apostles changed the world, yet we don’t know their personalities, talents, or status. What we do know is this: they were friends of Jesus. And that was enough.
In a world where we’re constantly trying to prove ourselves, to be the smartest, funniest, or most successful, this episode invites a different question: what if being known by Jesus matters more than being known by everyone else?
Without the Eucharist, there is no Jesus. And without Jesus, nothing else satisfies. This Holy Week, can you let go of being “known” and choose to simply be His friend?
