Pope Leo XIV's Encyclical on AI: Let's Jump In
In this epsiode, we take the time to break down Pope Leo XIV's Encyclical Letter, Magnifica Humanitas, in depth so that you can grow in understanding of the purpose and breadth of the Church's social teaching, and how to approach the use of AI and technology without compromising your Catholic faith. We cover why the Church releases documents like this, how teachings develop, and why the Church has an important role to play in conversations about modern technology. Some may believe that the Church has no place to speak on a topic as complicated as AI and technology, but we break down why the Church not only CAN speak about these topics, but absolutely *should*.

God’s Approachability: Touching the Eucharist, Signs of Affection, and Intimacy with Jesus
In this episode, we talk about what reverence actually means, whether Catholics sometimes unintentionally treat God like He’s distant or untouchable, and how Jesus constantly reveals Himself as deeply holy *and* deeply approachable. We discuss fear, intimacy with God, the Eucharist, and how receiving Jesus should draw us closer to Him — not keep us at arm’s length. We also get into why affection and intimacy with God can feel especially difficult for men, and how men and women often experience their relationship with God differently.

Conquer Catholic Guilt: How to Examine Your Conscience Without Scrupulosity or Shame
In this episode, we dive into confession, conscience, and the fine line between conviction and scrupulosity. We talk about what actually makes a sin mortal, how to discern grave matter, and how to examine your conscience without spiraling into shame or anxiety. We also explore what confession can look like when you’re not bringing major sins, but instead trying to understand the deeper roots beneath recurring habits, temptations, and disordered desires. Along the way, we address “Catholic guilt,” unhealthy self-scrutiny, and the temptation to start scrutinizing everyone else too. Because the truth is: we rarely know the full story of what’s happening in another person’s heart.

Why We (Still) Need Miracles
Miracles are one of the most fascinating parts of Christianity, but what are they for? In this episode, we explore what miracles actually are, why Jesus performed them, and whether or not miracles have decreased since the time of the Apostles. We also chat about healing Masses, miraculous healings, and the tension between healthy skepticism and genuine openness to God’s power. This conversation is less about chasing signs and more about understanding what miracles are meant to point us toward. Hint: It's God.

Was Jesus a Pacifist?
Christians often misunderstand the meaning of "peace". Too often, it gets reduced to “just be nice” or “never fight back”—but that’s not what Jesus taught, and it’s not what the Church believes. In this episode of Wise Guys Podcast, we challenge the idea that peace equals passivity. We dig into what Scripture actually says, what the Church teaches about self-defense, and why protecting human dignity requires us to establish and sometimes enforce real boundaries. Peace isn’t about avoiding conflict, it’s about responding to it rightly. ✅ NOTES: During this episode, when addressing Jesus’ prohibition of armed revolution, (turn the other cheek), I failed to mention one obvious point: by turning the other cheek, Jesus tells us to oppose political injustice through non-violent resistance. The three best examples of this are the March on Montgomery, the Solidarity Movement in Poland, and the March for Life. The logic of non-violent resistance does not eliminate the right to self-defense. Rather, it affirms that armed resistance is almost never a morally licit means for resolving political failure. It’s too destabilizing to the commonwealth. The same logic is applied when the state seeks to execute a Christian because of their faith. Non-violent resistance represents the decision to appeal to a higher authority, namely, God. It is not a command to be passive in the face of abuse. -Dr. Michel Therrien

Iran, War, and a Whole Lot of Gray
The world is watching the situation with Iran unfold, but how should Catholics respond? In this episode, we dive into the Church’s call for peace, why the Vatican often avoids taking political sides, and what that actually means. We also explore the reality of self-defense, the limits of Just War Theory, and the difficult question: what happens when your enemy doesn't want peace? This isn’t a black-and-white issue, and we don’t pretend it is.

"Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin" - How Justice and Mercy Work Together
We talk about justice and mercy a lot, but do we actually know what they mean? In this episode, we keep it simple. We define justice and mercy, walk through some real-life examples, and talk about how to actually live them out. Along the way, we also tackle why God's mercy can seem confusing-and why it's not. This is a practical conversation to help you make better decisions in everyday situations. In this episode we discuss: what justice actually means what mercy actually means how they work together rather than against each other how God's mercy reveals His justice, not the absence of it
