We were recording in Liv Harrison's house so the three of us shared some things that are anchors or foundations for them as people that keep us strong during even the toughest of times.\n\nThen we go alllll the way back to Ep 153. This was back in our radio/podcast days. The title of the episode was \"Nightmares Are You Scaring /you\" which is still one of my favorite episode titles. We discuss her book \"Live Big, Love Bigger: Getting Real with BBQ, Sweet Tea and a Whole Lotta Jesus\" which is a title that perfectly captures Kathryn's aura. She shares her story of dealing with loss and pain, how it affected her relationship with Christ and, as a bonus, how to share your faith without being a weirdo.\n\nIf you like this episode, all of our episodes are available wherever you are listening to this.

We're doing a Forte Flashback this week, highlighting our cohost Kathryn Whitaker's first two appearances on the podcast as a guest. These conversations were the seeds planted that eventually led to her joining us on a monthly basis.

\n\n

Today's show kicks off with her first appearance is person on Ep 256. We were recording in Liv Harrison's house so the three of us shared some things that are anchors or foundations for them as people that keep us strong during even the toughest of times.

\n\n

Then we go alllll the way back to Ep 153. This was back in our radio/podcast days. The title of the episode was "Nightmares Are You Scaring /you" which is still one of my favorite episode titles. We discuss her book "Live Big, Love Bigger: Getting Real with BBQ, Sweet Tea and a Whole Lotta Jesus" which is a title that perfectly captures Kathryn's aura. She shares her story of dealing with loss and pain, how it affected her relationship with Christ and, as a bonus, how to share your faith without being a weirdo.

\n\n

If you like this episode, all of our episodes are available wherever you are listening to this. Check out our backlog if you've joined us at some point in the last eight years!
\nA great place to start is the list of our top ten episodes which can be found at ForteCatholic.com/podcasts.

Taylor is joined by his friend & co-worker Sarah Allen this week. She started working with Forte Catholic earlier this year helping edit podcasts. This is now their second time working together so Sarah shares what it's like to work with Taylor, how it's different than the first time & gives a glimpse into life behind the scenes here.

\n\n

Sarah also got married earlier this year (yay!). She shares the cool story of how she met her husband, how the early months of marriage have gone & Taylor's role at her wedding. They also discuss people getting married later, the lack of young people going on dates & young Catholic ladies longing for marriage.

Allison joins Taylor as he shares about something most people keep pretty close to their chest: money. He shares that money has been a constant stressor for over a decade and Allison thinks he's not alone. They discuss financial stressors, the pit of comparison & what role money plays in on spiritual lives.

\n\n

In the second segment, Allison helps Taylor prep for two new talks on the Vine & Branches and Martha & Mary. They discuss the Scriptural texts, their thoughts on what they would preach about and how to adapt it for a younger audience.

Guest Cohost Chris Bartlett joins Taylor to discuss the frustration of not being given parameters within which to work, how that works when they're invited to speak somewhere & topics they typically don't share about. For example, Taylor doesn't usually speak about Mary because it isn't his strongest topic, but he tests out some new material on Chris to see if he should expand his horizons or stick with the status quo (que High School Musical)

\n\n

Then, Taylor finally has a worthy challenger for Freestyle Preaching. The guys take turns giving 60 second sermons on the spot where they have to include three random words given to them by their challenger. Can these two guys who have been giving random youth ministry talks for decades rise to the occasion?

\n\n

Finally, Chris bring up a situation that got brought up in his family in regards to nostalgia. This leads to a conversation about the Care Bears & Taylor has to hold back the tears. Because of the Care Bears? You'll have to listen to the end to find out ;)

\n\n

Listen to "Old Church Basement", the song Taylor discusses in the final segment on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/5j4EazAPhtFyHhwNpbNzEx?si=aa87cb18f4764a59

Happy New Year!

\n\n

I'm terrible at looking back at the past and seeing all the good things God did in my life. I'm usually focused on the present or working towards building a better future that I forget to be thankful for what has already happened. That is why every year, we do a "State of the Forte" as our first episode of the new year to see all the cool things we experienced together.

We also review the additions to our YouTube channel in 2022 and the rest of the work we did through producing other great Catholic podcasts and our events.

\n\n

Taylor also takes a few moments to address the passing of one of his heroes Pope Benedict XVI and his thoughts on the Damar Hamlin situation from this week's Monday Night Football.

\n\n

We hope you enjoy looking back at the past year with us. Blessings on your new year!

Jon Blevins cohosts as Taylor tries to prove to Jon that his barber is lying to him. They also discuss the Four P's and how they affect our professional and spiritual lives.

\n\n

Next, Taylor has questions about a famous St. Francis story and why he had to do things the way he did. They also discuss a change to the Mass a few years ago that makes very little sense.

\n\n

Finally, they discuss parish life and Taylor asks Jon for assistance in an issue he's working through at his parish.

Taylor kicks off the show by sharing a recent parenting win with Jon: he and his son won a game of Fortnite together! They celebrate and share some of their favorite moments of being a parent.

\n\n

In the next segment, Taylor asks Jon how he should handle regrets in his life. A few regrets keep popping up in his mind and he wants to know how Jon deals with past failures.

\n\n

Finally, they start with a conversation about the difference between a mountain and a hill that has Taylor fascinated and annoyed. This leads to a conversation about bioethics and how the Church tackles new problems as they arrive. Not quite how we thought we would end but here we are ;)

We had our 1st official Forte Catholic retreat and it went great!
\nFr. Anthony Sciarappa & Taylor recap the highlights.

\n\n

A huge thanks to Paul George for getting this set up for us! We gathered at a beautiful ranch in the Texas Hill Country and spent four days praying, celebrating the Sacraments, skeet shooting, drinking, bonding and playing poker. It was the best of being a Catholic man :)

Usually it's Jon bringing the hot takes but Taylor has some things to get off his chest this week. Spicy!

\n\n

They kick it off with a conversation about the phrase "If you're bored at Mass, you'll be bored in Heaven." It's a common phrase from people in ministry and online personalities but Taylor doesn't agree with it anymore and he explains why.

\n\n

Next, they discuss how strange the idea of auxiliary bishops actually is and Taylor argues that Bishops making up rules for their comfort makes him wonder why he has to follow random Catholic rules. Are the rules Pharisaical? The convo includes thoughts on fasting requirements and...NFP!?!?

\n\n

Finally, as this is the last episode before Valentine's Day, Jon & Taylor both share their best and worst ever date stories and how they met their wives.

\n\n

Enjoy this episode with unhinged Taylor and incredibly pastoral Jon!

J.P. Quinn helps us kick off the year with some insanity with his hot takes segment "Forte, Mezzo, Piano" where he shares his takes & the hosts yell at him and tell him he's crazy.

\n\n

To close the show, Fr. Anthony invents a new Christmas themed game for Taylor called "What Child is This?" It's another game for Taylor to look dumb. We hope you enjoy this episode. Happy New Year!

Taylor starts the show by getting after Jon for not sharing two big announcements with him. He then shares two new things in his life: one of which is hilarious and the other frustrating.

\n\n

They both share their experiences of being home with their kids without their wives and how different those two experiences were.

\n\n

And finally, they close the show with a segment of "cold takes." Some people like hot takes, but these takes are so random that no one could accuse them of being hot.

\n\n

We hope you enjoy this episode and your Thanksgiving!

Allison Sullivan cohosts and announces the relaunch of her podcast! Sinner Saint Sister is back and better than ever with great guests, now on video and part of the Forte Catholic Podcast Network.

\n\n

She & Taylor discuss how Jesus would social media. Would He be on it? What would He say? How would he conduct himself? Insightful conversation with moments of hilarity.

\n\n

They close the show by discussing the body positivity movement that has become popular over the past couple years with Lizzo at the center of it all. They discuss the good parts of that movement but also where it falls short. This is ultimately a discussion on how we as Catholics should approach times where we are overweight.

We've been doing this show for five years and we know that not everyone has listened since back in the day. So we're starting a new series called Forte Flashbacks highlighting the best moments of the show.

We're kicking off the series with each of the five cohosts first appearance on the show as guests. Every Friday, we will take a listen to their first segment and Taylor will provide his commentary on it at the end.

The show kicks off with Taylor sharing the story of two football games that looked very similar on the scoreboard but were very different experiences for him and his players. It made Taylor realize the unhealthy mindset he's had lately(psst....you might have it to)

\n\n

In the second segment, Allison shares her story of adoption: the beauty, the struggles and the lessons. This is the first tim her and Taylor have discussed it publicly and it gives a big insight into who Allison is. She also shares some of the nuggets of wisdom she's learned through the process.

\n\n

Finally, Taylor shares how different he treats his new car from his old one and what that says about how we view ourselves.

Finally, Taylor shares how Jesus hurt a lot of people's feelings and Taylor follows in his footsteps.","date_published":"2020-09-16T10:00:00.000-05:00","attachments":[{"url":"https://chtbl.com/track/87548/aphid.fireside.fm/d/1437767933/c57dedb2-02be-4bba-a1a0-fad1def9f3ab/c37ba24c-0d3a-49a3-9eed-7406b508c2f0.mp3","mime_type":"audio/mpeg","size_in_bytes":82827953,"duration_in_seconds":3404}]},{"id":"47e9b89e-c171-495a-a145-9085e80f3b89","title":"204: Using Your Voice w/Kyle Heimann","url":"https://fortecatholic.fireside.fm/204","content_text":"Fr.

Fr. Anthony cohosts as Taylor shares about his trip to the dentist, a podcast he recently listened to that he wants to rant about and how the parable of the talents pushes back on how a lot of us think.

In the second segment, we hear Taylor's appearance on the Kyle Heimann Show "Catholic Games." Kyle quizzes Taylor on his knowledge of loud things in the world and in our faith.

\n\n

In the final segment, the guys discuss the NBA, racial inequality and many people's reaction to it. I think we all need to take a step back and assess our reactions.

Then Taylor decides which cohost he likes the best by making them all play "Freestyle Preaching," everyone's new favorite game where the contestants have 60 seconds to preach with three random words Taylor gives them.

\n\n

Finally, Fr. Anthony comes up with a segment of ranking things where we all argue best movies franchises, video games and BBQ.

\n\n

This couldn't have been any more fun getting the crew all together! We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it :)

Bearded Blevins cohosts and Taylor has a bone to pick with him ;) They debated about what quality time is, how love languages affect how we see things and what they both learned from their silly argument.

\n\n

Taylor is joined by Sam Rocha in the wake of his recent debate on socialism with Trent Horn to have a follow up conversation about not only the debate itself but also what the "Catholic Left" means and what it doesn't.

\n\n

Jon rejoins the show for the final segment to discuss how we use our time: the over-emphasis on busyness and the ever elusive "balance" we're all looking for.

In the final segment, Jake Stanley of Man Fully Alive Ministries joins the show to defend his nefarious cohost and share the impact reading Scripture daily has had on his life.

\n\n

These are two of the most relaxed interviews we've ever done and felt like we were all just sitting around a fire drinking. And now that I'm done posting this, I'm going to have a drink now. Enjoy!

Allison Sullivan joins Taylor for the three year anniversary show!!!

\n\n

Taylor took a 9th grade theology test and...it didn't go well.

\n\n

Our guests this week are Janine McGann and Liz Sams to share about the film they created "Speaking to Sparrows." (speakingtosparrows.com) This was created for young women to reaffirm their worth in God and help them through their trials.

\n\n

The final segment is, as Allison put it, "the squirreliest segment we've ever done." She tries to speak about what the Lord has revealed to her about waiting but instead they incessantly make fun of each other. It gets off the rails quick. Enjoy! 😊

“Let's talk about Jesus and by that I mean the movie Aladdin” -Taylor

\n\n

Shaun McAfee cohosts to talk about the theme of trust with Taylor and this week's guest, Adrian from the Dude Catholic podcast. The conversation starts with comparing Aladdin to The Fall with deep insights Taylor stole from Old Producer Sam. The guys also dive into a conversation about the different spirituality types, put them up against each other and decide once and for all, which one is the best!

The epic crossover event is (FINALLY) here! The hosts of Everyday Catholics, Fr. Ryan Higdon & Alyssa Trutter, join the show and I join theirs this week as well!

Here in this episode, I tell them they stole my show name and we have interesting quotes such as "I am the chubby weapon," "Taylor has two volumes: off or on" & a possible heresy involving "By Girth alone." We get an intro to their show, how its expanding my boundaries and I ask them what a Catholic world view is and how do we get it?

\n\n

Keep an eye out for part 2 of the crossover on the Everyday Catholics podcast releasing this week!

\n\n

The rest of the show, producer Sam & I do a deep dive into our long-lost "Mass Text" segment on how hilarious the Apostles can be & the importance of finding rest.

\n\n

Catholicism can be weird and confusing sometimes. We talk about some of the odd parts of Holy Week that really don't make sense, laugh a bit and then talk about the beauty of what the week really has to offer us with the help of one of our new favorite songs.

\n\n

We're also joined by author (and Taylor's newest Xbox gamer friend) Shaun McAfee to talk about his newest book "Reform Yourself!"

\n\n

This episode began with an important public service announcements, a story of Taylor being dumb when he was tired & questions about bilocation.

\n\n

In the second segment, we welcomed Trey Mirenda of the Dominican Youth Movement (sheepdogministriesop.org) to talk about connecting the heart and mind when it comes to growing in our faith.

\n\n

We closed out the show with some games in preparation for this weekend's Super Bowl with special guest Eagles fan Rocco Cuccozzilio.(He's hilarious).

\n\n

Producer Sam said this was her favorite episode ever so I hope you enjoy it!

We split this episode into two parts as the second contains full spoilers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

\n\n

But this first half is two segments with my new friends Chuck and Annie Fulkerson: hosts of the Salt and Light Podcast. We became fans of each others shows months ago and instant social media friends and have been planning being on each other's shows for quite some time and it finally happened!

\n\n

In the first segment, we get to know them and their podcast and hear how they have grown in their faith through parenting and marriage.

\n\n

In the second segment, I put their marriage to the test in "Sync'd Up: Christmas Edition" and then we turn them against each other in the newest version of "Star Wars or Scripture."

Final week of Advent and last show before Christmas!

\n\n

We kick off the episode with the only way I know how....with the vocal talent of Rod Stewart and what the heck that has to do with Advent.
\nWe also look at the readings from the 4th Sunday in Advent which are being overshadowed by Christmas Eve on the same day!

\n\n

Consistent listener Brian Baudoin makes his on air debut(finally!)as he joins Taylor and producer Sam to talk about the best ways to prepare in Advent and favorite Christmas memories. They also play "True or False" Christmas Story Edition. The game is much more difficult than you would think!

Howdy! Back again with another episode this week about our trip to Memphis for the National Youth Workers Convention.

\n\n

In the first segment, I talk about a pretty interesting/quirky Mass we attended in downtown. This includes a cowboy priest and a fresh take on the parable of the talents.

\n\n

In the segment segment, I welcome Steve Pokorny back to the show to talk about his upcoming book "Redeemed Vision" about being set free from pornography once and for all and the importance of seeking true beauty.

\n\n

In the final segment, producer Sam and I close out our sharing from the conference by talking about our favorite nuggets of wisdom we took home from the weekend like not being Jesus' lawyer and the priority of silence in the lives of a Christian.

This episode aired just days after Hurricane Harvey devastated the coastline of Texas. Our prayers are with our friends, family and neighbors who have been affected by this tragedy.

\n\n

In the first segment, we talk about the aftermath of the hurricane: the stories of people hurting, the community rising together to help and try to make some kind of sense out of this tragedy and what can help us get through it. We look at two stories from Scripture that share about suffering to guide our conversation.

\n\n

In the second segment, I am joined by author Eric Sammons about his new book "The Profession." It is a work of fiction that tells the story of an American Catholic in 2049 living in a Muslim run country. We talk about the power of telling stories to spark ideas, conversation and conversion.

\n\n

In the final segment, we talk about the power of stories to lift us up, inspire us, help us relax and take us to new worlds. In the wake of the hurricane, I was reminded of the impact that good story telling can have to relax and help decompress us after a stressful time. Taylor and new producer Sam share funny stories about faith to help bring levity and joy to a tough situation.

\n\n

Again, if you've been affected by the storm, know that we are praying for you and your loved ones.

Segment 1-Easter Joy
\nFirst show during the Easter Season! I talked about my Holy Week experience and we did the "Mass Text" segment where we took a deeper dive into the Gospel reading from Easter Sunday and what it means for the times where we don't understand what God is doing.

\n\n

\nIn one of my favorite interviews, I talk with Andrew about his music ministry, extreme conversion of heart in his teen years and one of his favorite topics, the Holy Spirit.

\nIt has been a week since we launched the bracket of ministry leaders from across the US deciding once and for all "which ministry leader would win in a boxing competition."
