What is really happening at Mass… that we can’t see?

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Joe Helow to unpack The Real Presence: The Mass (TheRealPresenceFilm)—a stunning 28-minute film that reveals the unseen spiritual reality of the Catholic Mass through breathtaking liturgical imagery and artistic augmented reality.

At the heart of the film is the Church’s bold and beautiful claim: Jesus Christ is truly present in the Eucharist—not symbolically, not metaphorically—but in reality.

With recent studies showing that many Catholics no longer believe in the Real Presence, this film was created to reawaken faith, inspire awe, and help viewers rediscover what the Church has always taught about the Eucharist. Through visually striking scenes and insightful commentary filmed at the 2024 National Eucharistic Congress, the film brings clarity to what is happening at every moment of the Mass—and why it matters for your life.

Featuring powerful reflections from voices across the Church, including:

• Fr. Mike Schmitz
• Dr. Scott Hahn
• Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers
• Sr. Briege McKenna
• Sr. Bethany Madonna
• Bishop David L. Toups
• Bishop Erik T. Pohlmeier
• Christophe Cardinal Pierre
• Curtis Martin
• Fr. Robert Spitzer

Together, these leaders help us see the Mass as it truly is: Heaven touching earth.

The tone of the film—and this conversation—is joyful, reverent, and inviting. Whether you are a lifelong Catholic, someone struggling with belief, or a seeker curious about the Eucharist, this episode will deepen your understanding of the greatest gift Christ left His Church.

If the Eucharist is truly Jesus… then nothing at Mass is ordinary.

Watch, reflect, and rediscover what you can’t see.
