On this episode of Making It Personal with Bishop William Joensen, Bishop Joensen and co-host Jeanne Thill sit down with Fr. Robert Spitzer, Jesuit priest and President of the Magis Institute. Broadcasting during Holy Saturday, the conversation reflects on the Paschal Mystery while diving into one of today’s most urgent cultural topics: artificial intelligence.

Fr. Spitzer shares why so many young people are disaffiliating from faith—often because of misconceptions about science—and explains how the Magis Institute is responding with the new Magis AI app, a tool designed to provide clear, faithful, and intellectually rigorous answers grounded in Catholic teaching and sound science.

The discussion highlights:

  • The relationship between faith and science
  • Common misconceptions driving youth away from belief
  • The limits and dangers of secular AI
  • How Magis AI offers truth-centered, interactive learning
  • Why AI cannot replicate human consciousness, morality, or the soul

As the Church celebrates the hope of Easter, this episode offers a powerful reminder that truth, reason, and faith work together—and that new tools can help lead people back to Christ.
