    Is It Holy to Be Funny?

    Is laughter just entertainment, or is it an important part of the Christian life?

    In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Gregory and Fr. Joseph-Anthony explore the surprising virtue of humor. They discuss why Christians sometimes become overly serious, how St. Thomas Aquinas viewed wit as a virtue, and why laughter can deepen friendship, relieve tension, and even help us speak the truth with charity.

    Have a favorite joke? We want to hear it, drop it in the comments!

    Trent Horn on Why Apologetics Isn't Enough

    Why are so many Christians rediscovering the Catholic Church?

    In this episode of Guestsplaining, Fr. Gregory Pine sits down with Catholic apologist Trent Horn to discuss Protestantism, apologetics, conversion, and what ultimately draws people into the fullness of the Catholic faith. They explore why arguments matter, but also why arguments alone are never enough.

    Trent explains the biggest misconceptions Protestants have about Catholicism, how apologetics should lead to deeper discipleship, and why every convert must eventually move beyond debates into a life of prayer, the sacraments, and authentic friendship with Christ.

    Whether you're Catholic, Protestant, exploring Christianity, or simply curious about the differences, this conversation offers a thoughtful and charitable look at one of today's most important religious conversations.

    The Real Danger of AI Isn't What You Think

    Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we write, create art, compose music, and even think—but what does it mean for the human imagination?

    In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Gregory and Fr. Bonaventure explore AI through the lens of Catholic philosophy and theology. They discuss whether AI can truly be creative, why imagination is essential to being human, and how technology may reshape our relationship with art, work, community, and even one another.

    Rather than asking whether AI is intelligent, they ask a deeper question: What makes human intelligence, and creativity, unique?

    Dr. Bob Schuchts on Hurting, Healing, and Miracles

    Can God really heal emotional wounds, trauma, grief, and spiritual struggles? And if He can, why do so many faithful Catholics still suffer?

    Fr. Gregory sits down with bestselling author and therapist Dr. Bob Schuchts of the John Paul II Healing Center to explore what healing actually means in the Christian life. Together they discuss why healing is central to Christ's mission, praying for healing, miracles, and what to do when your prayers go seemingly unanswered.

    Rather than promising easy answers, this conversation offers hope rooted in the Gospel: healing is ultimately an encounter with the love and truth of Jesus Christ.

    Whether you've struggled with grief, past wounds, disappointment, or simply wonder if healing is possible, this episode offers a deeply Catholic vision of hope.

    Why Every Part of the Mass Matters

    The Catholic Mass is far more than just a weekly obligation—it is the Church's highest act of worship and our deepest encounter with Jesus Christ. Yet many Catholics know the responses and rituals without fully understanding why the liturgy unfolds the way it does.

    In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Joseph-Anthony and Fr. Gregory offer a guided tour through the Mass, explaining how each part prepares us for communion with Christ. Beginning with the Introductory Rites, they show how the liturgy gradually moves us from ordinary life into sacred worship through prayer, Scripture, and finally sacrifice.

    Along the way, they unpack the meaning of our postures, the purpose of the Liturgy of the Word, the significance of the Offertory, and the beauty of the Eucharistic Prayer. Drawing from St. Thomas Aquinas, Roman Catholic liturgical tradition, and their own pastoral experience, they explain how every prayer and gesture helps believers enter more deeply into the mystery of Christ's sacrifice. As Fr. Joseph-Anthony points out during the episode "lex orandi, lex credendi; the law of prayer, is the law of belief."

    Whether you've attended Mass your entire life or are just beginning to explore the Catholic faith, this conversation will help you see the liturgy with fresh eyes and participate with greater devotion.

    Can Beauty Really Lead You to God?

    Why does beauty stop us in our tracks? Why do breathtaking cathedrals, sacred music, masterpieces, and even a sunset seem to point beyond themselves?

    In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Patrick and Fr. Bonaventure explore the profound relationship between beauty and God. Drawing from Dostoevsky, Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and their own experiences of art and prayer, they ask whether beauty offers a unique witness to the truth of Christianity.

    You need not be an artist or a philosopher to enjoy this conversation! Tune in to hear the friars unpack why beauty continues to captivate us and why it may be one of the clearest signs pointing toward the Divine.

    The Strength of St. Joseph with Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC

    Fr. Gregory sits down with Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, author of the bestselling Consecration to St. Joseph, to explore why devotion to St. Joseph has exploded around the world, and why it may be exactly what the Church needs today.

    From authentic masculinity and fatherhood to trust in God's providence, Fr. Calloway shares how St. Joseph became the model of faithful discipleship, silent strength, and spiritual protection. In conversation, they also explore why St. Joseph is called the "Terror of Demons," how his hidden life shaped Jesus' humanity, and why millions of Catholics have embraced consecration to him.

    Whether you're already devoted to St. Joseph or just beginning to discover him, this conversation offers practical wisdom for growing in holiness, confidence, and trust in God.

    Does the Bible Really Say Wives Must Submit?

    What does the Bible really say about headship and submission in marriage?

    Few passages generate more debate than Ephesians 5. Does St. Paul teach male domination—or something entirely different? In the latest episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Gregory and Fr. Joseph-Anthony unpack one of Scripture's most misunderstood texts, exploring what the Church teaches regarding headship, mutual submission, sacrifice, and love.

    Rather than a struggle for power, they argue that Christian marriage is rooted in Christ's self-giving love for the Church. Headship is not about control, but about sacrificial service. Likewise, mutual submission is not about inequality, but about each spouse giving themselves fully for the good of the other.

    Whether you've wrestled with this passage for years or are hearing it for the first time, this conversation offers a thoughtful Catholic perspective grounded in Scripture and the Church's tradition. Still have questions? Let us know in the comments.

From his unwavering commitment to Catholic doctrine and daily Eucharistic holy hours to his love for Our Lady, passion for evangelization, and defense of authentic Christian freedom, Archbishop Fulton J.

    Mitali Perkins on Why Adults Need Children’s Books

    What if some of the most important books you'll ever read were written for children?

    In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Bonaventure Chapman sits down with acclaimed author Mitali Perkins to discuss the enduring power of children's literature. From The Chronicles of Narnia and The Hobbit to Anne of Green Gables and A Little Princess, they explore how stories shape the moral imagination, cultivate virtue, and help both children and adults encounter truth, goodness, and beauty.

    Whether you're a parent, teacher, reader, or simply someone looking to rediscover wonder, this conversation offers a compelling case for returning to the stories that shape the soul.
