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.

Is There Salvation Outside Of The Church?
Do you have to be Catholic to go to Heaven?
This is one of the most honest and sometimes difficult questions people ask, especially when it involves loved ones who’ve walked away from the Church. In this episode, Father Tim unpacks the meaning behind the phrase “no salvation outside the Church” and what it really means in light of Jesus.
At the center of it all is a simple truth: Jesus is the bridge. He is the one door to Heaven. But God’s mercy is bigger than we often imagine. Drawing from The Last Battle by C. S. Lewis, this episode explores how every act of goodness, truth, and love ultimately leads back to Him, even when someone doesn’t fully realize it.
Salvation comes through Jesus alone. But His grace is at work in more hearts than we can see.
If you’ve ever worried about someone you love, this conversation is filled with both truth and real hope.

Good Friday (Holy Week Retreat)
If you were there on Good Friday, who would you be?
In this powerful Good Friday reflection, Father Tim shares a striking insight from The Passion of the Christ: director Mel Gibson chose to appear only once in the film, his hands driving the nails into Jesus’ hands. A reminder that the Cross isn’t just history, it’s personal.
This episode invites you to step into the story. At times, we might be the ones who wound Him. Other times, we try to console Him. And sometimes, we’re just part of the crowd, distant, distracted, unsure.
Good Friday isn’t just something we remember. It’s something we’re part of. So today, ask yourself honestly: what has been your part in the story of the Cross?

Will I Be Weird, If I Get Close To Jesus?
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.
