(queue High School Musical) They also give each other a run for their money in Freestyle Preaching & discuss Spiritual Nostalgia with the help of the song "Old Church Basement." 1:12:10 no 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) 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? 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 ;) Listen to "Old Church Basement", the song Taylor discusses in the final segment on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/5j4EazAPhtFyHhwNpbNzEx?si=aa87cb18f4764a59 Subscribe/Rate Never miss out on the craziness of each episode by hitting the subscribe button RIGHT NOW!

He also talks about his book "Behold Your Mother" which tackles common objections to Marian devotion. We also talk about giving & receiving mercy. 53:30 no Tune in to hear Tim Staples call me "bro" and "friend"!!! He also talks about his book "Behold Your Mother" which tackles common objections to Marian devotion. As a convert, one of Tim's final struggles with Catholicism was Marian devotion so he has great insight on answering the tough questions. I learned a lot in the interview so I hope it helps you as well! In the first and third segment, we talk about giving and receiving mercy. We do so in the context of talking about receiving presents so we had interaction on social media of people sharing about the best gift they've ever received. I then look through the parable of the prodigal son to see what we can learn from the story about sharing mercy.
