112: Finding Rest in the Holidays & Seminarian life w/ Travis Crotty

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 05 Dec 2018 08:00:00 -0600

Taylor is joined by Shaun McAfee to kick off the Advent season with ample reminders to slow down and find rest in God. Taylor shares from one of the weirdest weeks he's had in a while that led into Advent. From travel, to being pulled over, to tech difficulties, to being a guest on an atheist's podcast, it was an interesting one for sure. And there's an Advent connection to all of it!

In the second segment, seminarian Travis Crotty joins the show to share what "A Day in the life of a Seminarian" is like to give us a behind the scenes look into preparation for the priesthood. He shares particularly about the media fast he took and its implications for us this Advent season.

In the final segment, we chat about what we are doing for Advent & how it is one of our favorite seasons to draw us back into the life of Christ.

Episode 62: Christmas Episode! Last minute preparations Rod Stewart style

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 20 Dec 2017 12:00:00 -0600

Final week of Advent and last show before Christmas!

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.
We also look at the readings from the 4th Sunday in Advent which are being overshadowed by Christmas Eve on the same day!

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!

From our team at Forte Catholic, we wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

Episode 61: Advent Bingo, Top Christmas Songs, & The Christmas Story According to Kids

Taylor Schroll — Tue, 12 Dec 2017 22:00:00 -0600

This is hands down the most I have laughed in recording a show all year! It is almost Christmas and this episode is truly a holiday treat!

With no guest today, it was just the normal crew in the studio playing games like Advent Bingo and guessing Taylor's favorite Christmas carols and hymns. We laughed the whole time and hope you will laugh along with us as you listen and play the games as you listen. Special holiday gifts for those who beat us at the games! Test your knowledge and see if you are smarter than the Forte Catholic crew(probably not all that difficult.)

In the final segment, we hear the Christmas story from the mouths of babes. Hilarious but also sparks some final thoughts from Taylor on how to prepare and engage in this Advent/Christmas season.

Episode 60: Academy Award Nominated Director of "The Star" & kicking off Advent

Taylor Schroll — Tue, 05 Dec 2017 22:00:00 -0600

It's not every day you get an Academy Award nominated director on your show!

In the second segment of this week's show, I am joined by Timothy Reckart, the director of this year's Christmas hit "The Star" to discuss the movie and how it came about. The film is an intriguing animated take on the Christmas story from the perspective of the animals around the birth of Christ. With the voice talent of Oprah Winfrey, Tracy Morgan, Tyler Perry, Patricia Heaton, Keegan Michael-Key, Zachary Levi, Kelly Clarkson and many more, this film is a sure fire hit for you and your family this holiday season!

In the 1st and 3rd segments of the show, Taylor talks about Advent and how we can utilize this season of preparation, waiting and rejuvenation to refocus our life on Jesus and rest in His peace.
