Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins but how do you actually know if you struggle with it? And what does it really look like in everyday life? In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim walks through St. Gregory the Great’s five types of gluttony: the hasty eater, the greedy eater, the overeater, the fastidious (picky) eater, and the sumptuous eater. With honesty, humor, and compassion, he helps us identify where we may struggle, not to accuse, but to grow. Food is good. You are good. Freedom is the goal, learning to say no so we can say yes to Jesus, who alone truly satisfies the heart.

Abs. Savings. Finding your soulmate. Great goals, but they won’t last forever. What if your New Year’s resolution wasn’t about your body, your bank account, or your relationship status but about becoming a saint? In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim shares three New Year’s resolutions that actually matter for eternity. From spending carefree time with Jesus in the Eucharist, to daily consistency in prayer, to cultivating friendships that lead you closer to Christ, this episode reframes what it really means to start a new year well.

Do priests stop being priests when they retire? Do they stop wearing their collar? In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim explains why priesthood isn’t a job you retire from, it’s a vocation you live to the end. Just as parents never stop being parents, a priest never stops being a spiritual father. Priests may retire from active ministry, but they never retire from loving, serving, and bringing Jesus to the world. As Scripture says: “You are a priest forever.”

Is believing in science incompatible with believing in God? What about evolution, the age of the universe, or the Big Bang? In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Edward explains why faith and science don’t contradict each other and never have. From the biblical account of Creation to modern scientific discoveries, learn how the Church understands time, truth, and the role of science in revealing the work of our Creator. Faith doesn’t fear science. When science is at the service of truth, it helps us better understand God.

We pray the Creed every Sunday, but have you ever noticed something missing? Why doesn’t it explicitly mention the Eucharist? In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim explains why the Eucharist wasn’t included in the Creed, not because it was unimportant, but because it was never questioned. For the first thousand years of Christianity, belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist was assumed, lived, and loved by the faithful. The Creed was written to defend what was under attack, and the Eucharist didn’t need defending… until later.

Catholics don’t worship Mary, but they do pray with her. Why? In this Ask A Priest episode, Father Edward walks through what the Church actually teaches about Mary, her role as intercessor, Queen Mother, and model of prayer. Far from distracting us from Christ, devotion to Mary always leads us closer to Him. If you’ve ever struggled with Marian devotion, this conversation is an invitation to see it with fresh eyes.

Ever wonder if getting close to Jesus will make you weird? Pop culture often paints Christians as out of touch, but the truth is the exact opposite. In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim explains that friendship with Jesus doesn’t make us strange… it makes us more alive. From saints like Mother Teresa to modern disciples like Blessed Carlo Acutis, discover how holiness doesn’t erase your personality. It magnifies it. Jesus doesn’t take away what you love. He blesses it, sanctifies it, and makes it even better.

Why tell your sins to a priest when you can go straight to God? It’s one of the most common questions Catholics ask. In this episode of Ask A Priest, Fr. Edward Looney unpacks the Scriptural roots of confession, from Jesus breathing on the apostles and giving them authority to forgive sins, to the deep peace that comes from hearing the words, “I absolve you.” If you’ve been away from confession for a while, maybe it’s time to come home.
