379: Comedy of Errors & Eucharistic Questions w/ Fr Anthony Sciarappa

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 13 Mar 2024 01:00:00 -0500

Taylor & Fr. Anthony Sciarappa jump right in to discuss their frustrating and difficult past couple of weeks. Taylor can only laugh as he shares the comedy of errors occuring in his life.

Next, they play a brand new game to try and lighten the mood. The game was stolen from social media and we're not exactly sure how it went. You'll either love it or hate it! lol

Then to close the show, they get into a theological discussion of the accidents and substance of the Eucharist. Taylor thought he knew what all this meant until he thought about it for a while. The more he thought, the more confused he became(typical smh). Fr. Anthony answers his questions and shares his expertise in an attempt to help Taylor (and hopefully you) understand one of the central mysteries of our faith.

282: Redemptive Suffering, Catholic Mashup & The Way w/Bearded Blevins

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 09 Mar 2022 01:00:00 -0600

Jon "Bearded" Blevins cohosts as Taylor shares how he almost died in order to hang out with Jon. Then they discuss Amazon Prime's hit show "Wheel of Time" and how it connects to Redemptive Suffering this Lent.

In the second segment, Taylor tries the Catholic Mashup game with Jon. We combine clues for a Catholic hero and a pop culture star and see if the cohost can guess the name by the clues for each person.

Finally, the walk through some of the best lines of St. Jose Maria Escriva's spiritual classic "The Way." Enjoy! :)

279: Los Angeles, Imitate/Intercess/Ignore & Prep for Lent w/Kathryn Whitaker & Fr. Innocent

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 01:00:00 -0600

Kathryn Whitaker is in town and joins Taylor to talk about his trip to LA and her recent experience of extreme hospitality at Church. They also play Imitate, Intercess or Ignore where they each give the other three saints and they have to pick which one they want to be like, which they will ask for prayers and which they will ignore!

Lent is right around the corner so Fr. Innocent Montgomery joins the show to discuss how we can enter into this Lenten season well. Fr. Innocent is a CFR, host of the popular Poco a Poco podcast and author of Born of Fire. This book comes from his years of preparing young men for the priesthood.

Welcome to Lent!

In the first segment we play Lenten trivia with two local Catholic school 3rd graders, Silas and Hunter. Find out if your Lenten knowledge makes you smarter than a 3rd grader.

Then we talk with Taylor's good friend Allison Sullivan. She makes her return to the show after being the guest way back of Episode 2.

There's definitely something for everyone. Allison is one of the most passionate, fun and holy people we know so you'll enjoy your time with her!

In the final segment, Taylor opens up about his really rough week and the real "spiritual desert" time he went through and how the fog is beginning to lift and what this all has to do with the Lenten season.

Episode 70: Winter Olympics Gold Medalist Curt Tomasevicz, Catholic Films & Starting Lent

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 14 Feb 2018 14:00:00 -0600

Taylor had a cold this week but was helped along with the support of the team and two amazing guests: a Winter Olympics Gold Medalist and a film creator!

The start of the show was hilarious with Taylor trying to get through a segment without hacking up a lung so producers Sam and Macka helped with conversations about the beginning of Lent, an odd Gospel reading and answered prayer.

In the second segment, we are joined by Erin Dooley, the creator of the award winning Christian musical "Broken and Beautiful. (www.brokenandbeautifulmovie.com) The film launched on Ash Wednesday and focuses on five interweaving storylines of people at the same church, all dealing with some major struggle (stress, pornography, etc.).

And finally, we are joined by three time Olympic bobsledder Curt Tomasevicz. He is a die hard Catholic who shares how his faith played a huge role throughout his incredible career. Don't miss out on this interview as Curt is definitely in the running to be the next "Most Interesting Man in the World." Find out more about Curt's career and motivational speaking at www.tomaseviczbobsled.com.

Taylor Schroll — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 22:00:00 -0600

Mardi Gras! Lent is upon us, so let's talk about getting prepared for this great season while also dealing with the reality of stress in our lives. This weekend, I went on a retreat called "Stressed Out" about how to deal with stress as a Christian. I share what I learned over the weekend and how it applies to our Lenten season. We also do a Forte Five countdown segment of the best 5 things I've ever given up for Lent.

I am also joined by the founder of Saint Paul Street Evangelization. He has a great story of how God has worked in his life and also talks about how their ministry works and what they can do to help us grow in our ability to share the Gospel.

Episode 21: Karlo Broussard, Mass Text & Preparing for Lent

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 22 Feb 2017 19:00:00 -0600

This week, we focus on the Scripture in Mass with the introduction of the "Who Was Paying Attention At Mass?" segment about the past Sunday's readings. So often we go to Mass on the weekend and have forgotten what we heard by the next day so we revisit it to help us continue the lesson of the Scriptures throughout the week.

In the second segment, I am joined by the Ragin' Cajun Apologist, Karlo Broussard. Karlo is a southern Louisiana musician turned Catholic apologist and speaker for Catholic Answers. Tune in as we talk about his conversion, share laughs and discuss his newest book on miracles.

Then in the final segment, the "Mass Text" segment returns as we dive into the day's first reading from Sirach and what it tells us about suffering, God's faithfulness and Lent.
