“Like the Angels” — Celibacy Is Biblical (And It Always Was) If your church has no one celibate — no one vowed to God alone — you are not looking at the New Testament Church. That sounds bold. It’s meant to. Celibacy isn’t medieval. It isn’t “forced.” It isn’t anti-marriage. It’s biblical. At Sinai, Israel abstained before the Lord descended. In battle, soldiers restrained themselves under vow. Nu...

📅🥖🍷 “On The First Day Of The Week” (Sunday, Not Sabbath) Some people insist Christians “changed the day.” But long before denominations… long before printing presses… long before chapter and verse numbers… Christians were already gathering on the first day of the week. Not because an emperor said so. Not because Rome “stole” anything. But because the tomb was empty on Sunday. The Gospels repeat...

📜✨ NEW SONG: “WHAT WE BELIEVE” — the Nicene Creed, line-by-line… because if someone asked you what you believe, you should be able to say it. Most people can talk about “Jesus” in general terms. But the Creed is the Church’s weekly, public confession—sharp, specific, and weirdly beautiful: ✅ One God, the Father Almighty ✅ One Lord, Jesus Christ—true God from true God ✅ Incarnation, Cross, Res...

"Straw Men & Windmills" — Stop Winning Fake Debates Confession: Sometimes I win arguments against people who don’t actually exist. It’s easy. You slightly exaggerate their position. Trim off the nuance. Ignore their strongest thinkers. Then knock down the cartoon version and call it apologetics. I’ve done it. You’ve probably done it. Welcome to the internet. This song is a reminder — mostly to mys...

❤️‍🔥 SOLA CARITAS: LOVE SHOWS UP. Faith can speak. Hope can wait. But love shows up. Jesus didn’t say eternal life was unlocked by the right slogan or the right feeling. He said: “Do this — and you will live.” Scripture is relentless on this point: Faith without love is empty. Knowledge without love collapses. Even belief that can move mountains means nothing if love never acts. This song is shor...

🚫🥭“Fruitless Branches / Buried Talents”🚫🌿🚫🪙 Jesus doesn’t mince words. Sheep and goats. Branches cut off. Talents buried in the dirt. Not hypotheticals. Not metaphors meant to be ignored. Warnings meant to be heard. This song is about the uncomfortable truth Scripture keeps repeating: 👉 Living faith bears fruit. 👉 Grace isn’t inert. 👉 What you’re given is meant to be used. You don’t earn...

📜✨ NEW SONG: “Forgive Us Our Trespasses” — Mercy Is the Line We Don’t Get to Skip The most dangerous part of the Our Father isn’t the part about daily bread. It’s the line we say without thinking: “Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.” That isn’t poetic symmetry. It’s a condition. Resentment doesn’t just stay aimed outward — it turns inward. It corrodes the sou...

📜🔥 NEW SONG DROPS FEB 23: “Eighty-Six Years (The Martyrdom of St. Polycarp)” On the Feast of St. Polycarp, we’re releasing a Catholic gunslinger ballad about one of the earliest—and hardest—Christian stands in history. Polycarp was an old bishop of Smyrna, hauled into a stadium, pressed to “just say the words,” and walk away. Swear by Caesar. Curse Christ. Live. And he answered with the kind of...

It’s the first Friday of Lent… which means somewhere, right now, a well-meaning Catholic is staring at a burger like: “Lord… surely You didn’t mean this one.” Yes. He did. 😅 So here’s your cheerful, meatless reminder: Wait, Don’t Bite That Burger! is my new Peter’s Barque track for everyone who forgets it’s Friday until the drive-thru speaker hits them with, “Would you like bacon on that?” Lent i...

📜✨ NEW SONG: “#AshTag” — Ash Wednesday isn’t a “holy day of obligation”… but Sunday is. Yep. That’s the joke. (And also… kind of the point.) Ash Wednesday is the day the Church puts a sign on our forehead that basically says: “I’m not God. I’m dust. I need mercy.” And every year someone objects: “Didn’t Jesus say not to fast ‘to be seen’?” Yes. He did. And He also said: if you do it for attentio...

📿🎺✨ NEW SONG (early drop): “Shrove It Like You Mean It” Shrove Tuesday is TOMORROW—so I’m releasing this one a day early so it has time to circulate before the pancakes hit the griddle. Mardi Gras isn’t “one last day to sin.” It’s Shrove Tuesday: a day to get shriven (hello, Confession), clear out the pantry (goodbye butter/eggs/sugar), and start Lent with a clean slate and a grateful heart. We...

📜✨ NEW SONG — “Built Like the Tower of David (But Cute)” Dropping just in time for Valentine’s Day… and dedicated first and foremost to my own wife ❤️ This one’s a playful love song straight out of Scripture — a mashup of the Proverbs 31 woman and the wonderfully unhinged poetry of the Song of Songs. You know: towers, goats, fortified cities, shorn ewes, and covenant-level affection. Ancient Isr...

Tomorrow I’m dropping a *biblical* love song for Valentine’s weekend. ❤️😂 It’s genuinely heartfelt… and also I had to deal with Song of Songs saying things like: “I love you from the bottom of my bowels…” Which, in modern English, sounds like: “Babe… I ate some gas station sushi...” So yes—this track is both: ✅ sweet ✅ ridiculous Because Scripture can be both. Full song drops Friday. Follow: ht...

Reminder: the Bible has a whole book that’s basically love poetry. It’s bolder than you remember... Flocks of Goats. And Ewes. And Towers girt with battlements... Dropping Friday, in time to send to the one you love for Valentine's Day... ❤️ Here's a TINY preview... 😏🎶 #WooThemBiblically #short Subscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

📜💧 NEW SONG: “Mud & Mercy (Lourdes)” — God put a spring in the dirt (and hope in the place you’d least expect). Feb 11 is the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, and the story is as Catholic as it gets: a poor, overlooked teenage girl (St. Bernadette), a rocky grotto outside town, a Lady who doesn’t flatter the powerful… and a call to prayer, penance, and the Rosary. And then the detail that makes eve...

This is a very human thing to do and it is not a idolatry. US Olympic Ice Skater Maxim Naumov lost his parents in that airplane and helicopter crash that happened famously last year. After a wonderful skate performance he held up a picture of his parents and kissed it. If you are a consistent iconoclast , you need to be decrying his idolatry. But if you're reasonable, you realize he is simply hono...

📜✨ NEW SONG: “Before the Ink Was Dry” — The Church didn’t come from the Bible. The Bible came from the Church. Jesus didn’t spend His ministry telling people to sit down and start writing. He didn’t say, “Write this in remembrance of me.” He said, “Do this.” He baptized. He broke bread. He forgave sins. He gave authority. And He built a Church that could teach, bind and loose, forgive sins, appo...

📜✨ NEW SONG: "RESTLESS HEARTS" — You can’t fill an infinite hole with finite stuff. St. Augustine nailed it: “Our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” Jean-Paul Sartre saw the same ache and called it “nausea” — because we’re finite… yet we desire the infinite. C. S. Lewis flipped the whole thing into a lighthouse: If I find in myself a desire nothing in this world can satisfy, maybe I’m...
