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.

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!

Next they bring back a fun game creatively called "fancy Catholic words." Fr. Anthony gives Taylor random Catholic words no one has ever heard and Taylor has to define them. Hilarity ensues AND you will learn random Catholic facts you can use to impress your two friends.

Finally, they have a conversation around the topic "Is faith a blind leap?" Is it? How do reason and faith correlate? We hope you enjoy this conversation. Have a great week y'all!

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.

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.

Enjoy y'all!

Our guest this week is DJ Bernal. He works full-time as a leadership consultant at a hospital. He also travels to share the Gospel and biblical principles of leadership. During our conversation, DJ takes us through the story of David, how he faltered as a leader and how we can avoid the same pitfalls.

In the final segment, Taylor and Allison face off in a game of trivia hosted by ProjectYM's Michael Marchand. Hilarious to see how wrong Taylor was...

Last month, Ablaze Ministries took Junior High students to camp. Here, I interview 3 campers, two of their parents and a high school counselor on the impact camp and youth ministry have had on their lives from each of their unique perspectives.

I also pit the youth vs. the parents in an epic trivia game called "Taylor Swift or Lamentations"(DownloadYouthMinistry.com) where I read a line and they have to guess who said it. Hilarity ensued.

If you are in ministry, love youth ministry, have kids or have fond memories of your time as a young person in the Church, you will enjoy this episode.

As always, please subscribe to the show and rate in on iTunes. Thanks!
