This week’s headlines have been heavy: Irina murdered on the subway. The assassination of Charlie Kirk. A shooting in Denver. The mass shooting at Annunciation School in Minnesota. These are not just stories.. they are lives, families, and communities forever changed.

In today’s episode, we face the hard question: how do Catholics respond to tragedy and violence in our world? Together we’ll talk about naming the darkness, the reality of sin and spiritual warfare, and how Christ calls us to radical love, even for our enemies. Prayer, fasting, witness, and action are not clichés, but the Catholic response to a broken world.

Mary, the Mother of God, has been called the most misunderstood woman in history. Some see her as the greatest disciple of Christ, others accuse Catholics of worshiping her and many reduce her role to being “just a womb.” But if we want to truly understand Jesus, we have to understand Mary.

In this episode, we dive into why God chose Mary, the biblical and historical truths about her role in salvation, and why devotion to her always leads us closer to Christ.

In this episode of After Mass, we expose one of the devil’s most dangerous lies: “I’m a good person, that’s enough.” It sounds harmless, even comforting.. but it’s a trap that keeps countless souls lukewarm, blind to their need for Christ. Together, we’ll unpack why “being good” by the world’s standards isn’t the same as holiness, how Scripture shatters this illusion and what it actually means to live a life that’s prepared for Heaven.This conversation will challenge, convict and call you deeper, because the enemy wants you comfortable, but God is calling you to be transformed.

In this episode of After Mass, we talk about why Catholicism isn’t a buffet where you load your plate with what you like and skip the rest. Following Jesus means trusting the whole menu He gives us.. even the parts that are hard to swallow. We’ll unpack the hidden cost of “pick-and-choose” faith, why obedience matters even when we disagree and how saying yes to all of God’s truth leads to real freedom.

What if skipping Mass isn’t just a bad habit.. but a serious wound to your soul?

In this episode, we dive deep into why the Catholic Church teaches that missing Mass on Sunday is a mortal sin, what’s really happening on the altar, and why the Eucharist is not a symbol but Jesus Himself. We’ll walk through Scripture, the Catechism, and early Church tradition to show why the Mass isn’t just important, it’s essential. This is your invitation to rediscover the power, beauty and urgency of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
