381: Holy Week & Why We're Catholic w/ Kathryn Whitaker

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 27 Mar 2024 01:00:00 -0500

Taylor & Kathryn sit down to kick off Holy Week and share their favorite (and least favorite) parts of this special week! They rank the liturgies of the Triduum, explain why they enjoy each one & share what's on their hearts and minds as they head into this week.

They also discuss the very different reasons they both became Catholic but then the oddly similar reasons that they remain Catholic.

We hope you have a blessed Holy Week! We're praying for you. Please pray for us.

363: Mid-Life Crisis, Life Verse & Converts w/The Cordial Catholic

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 01:00:00 -0600

Taylor asks Allison Sullivan if he's too young to have a mid-life crisis because he would like to. They talk about what's been going on and how to find a way out of it. They also play a silly game to lighten the mood. Taylor is also joined by Keith of The Cordial Catholic to chat about being more welcoming to non-Catholics & assisting with their formation.

Watch Taylor talk about the RCIA process on the Cordial Catholic Podcast: https://youtu.be/mtYi70AfWu0?si=iRTAjpG5JwOULP-7

162: I'm Catholic, Now What? w/Tim Glemkowski

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 20 Nov 2019 10:00:00 -0600

Taylor announces he's going to Rome to visit holy places...and cohost Shaun McAfee! The guys chat about why pilgrimages are a thing and the benefits they can bring.

Our guest this week is Han Solo clone, Tim Glemkowski. The guys go crazy for a bit and then get around to talking about Tim's book "Made For Mission" about parish culture. He shares what us little laypeople can do to give and receive more from our parishes.

In the final segment, Taylor begrudgingly lets Shaun plug his new book "I'm Catholic, Now What?" Believe it or not, Shaun's book is actually quite intriguing and led to a fun convo on how good or bad of a Catholic Taylor really is.

My Interview with an Atheist

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 06 Jun 2018 00:00:00 -0500

Howdy! We did a little something new for this bonus content of the podcast. This is a long-form interview with a friend of mine named Dan about his faith journey from growing up in a nominal Catholic family, to priestly formation, to marriage and now an "almost complete de-conversion from Catholicism." He shares his story & the things that led to where he is now.

I was fascinated with the interview because while our stories have taken different paths, I see a lot of similarities between Dan and I in some of the struggles with faith and Church(and personality). It is my hope that in having this conversation and you listening to it, that we will hear the things that he struggles with and other issues that led to where he is now and begin to think about how we address them in our own lives and how we as the Church can be a supportive and loving community.

While Dan and I may disagree on issues throughout the convo, I truly appreciated my time with him & his honesty. He gave me a lot to think about and I hope it sparks thought & conversation with you. If you have any questions or comments about the episode, send it my way on social media or send me an email to taylor@fortecatholic.com.
