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.

Why do Catholics get down on one knee when they enter the church? It’s more than a ritual. More than tradition. It’s a response to Love. Father Tim reveals how genuflecting began, why it sets Christianity apart, and how bending the knee reminds us: Jesus is greater than myself, and He has already given His heart to me. Whether it’s in church, in marriage, or in moments of awe, kneeling is our way of saying: I give my heart in love and adoration.

Can priests own fancy cars or expensive things? Do some priests make money? It’s a question people ask often, and the answer reveals something deeper about what it means to follow Jesus. From vows of poverty to promises of prayer and obedience, discover how the priesthood isn’t about possessions… It’s about purpose. In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Edward Looney explains the difference between diocesan priests and religious order priests and why both are called to live lives of simplicity and service, not wealth.
