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.

Did Jesus Celebrate Passover Before He Died?
Did Jesus celebrate Passover before He died? And what really happened to the people who rose from the dead at the Crucifixion?
In this Ask A Priest episode, Father Tim tackles two fascinating and often overlooked questions from Scripture. Drawing from Pope Benedict XVI and the Gospel of John, he explains how Jesus anticipated the Passover meal, and how His death perfectly aligns with the sacrifice of the Passover lamb.
He also dives into one of the most mysterious moments in the Bible: the dead rising when Jesus died. Did they return to their families or rise to eternal life with Him?
If you’ve ever had questions about these powerful moments in the Gospel, this episode brings clarity, depth, and wonder to the story of salvation.

Can Catholics Do Yoga?
Is yoga okay for Catholics to practice? What about the poses, breathing, and their roots in Hinduism, could that conflict with Christian faith?
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim tackles a question many Catholics have wondered about. He explains that stretching, exercise, and caring for the body are good things, and that worship always involves freedom and intention. You cannot accidentally worship another god or reject Jesus simply by doing physical movements.
Father Tim also warns against falling into superstition, giving something more power than it actually has. Whether you’re stretching, playing sports, or doing yoga poses, the key is your intention: you can glorify God through your body in everything you do.
If yoga ever becomes explicitly tied to non-Christian worship or spirituality, it may be wise to step away, but simple stretching and movement themselves are not the problem. As Christians, we trust in the power of Jesus Christ and remain rooted in Him in all things.

What Is The Trinity?
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.
