  <description>Jeremy is one of the premiere Catholic worship leaders &amp;amp; joins Taylor on this week's episode to discuss their shared passions: sports, faith &amp;amp; music. They have gotten to work together at multiple events &amp;amp; finally turned on the recorders to share one of their conversations with you.
They kick the show off discussing how they both coach at small Catholic schools (where they are actually rivals!) and the way sports can bring people together. They share some of Pope Leo's recent comments about the intersection of faith &amp;amp; sports and how they have seen those in real time during their many years coaching.
Then, they talk about the importance of music to our everyday lives, including  how it impacts how we pray. Jeremy shares about his experiences leading worship but also how his band reaches people with the Good News simply through good music, like good ol' Switchfoot. 
He is a talented and great man so I'm happy that we FINALLY recorded this and get to share it with you today :)

  <description>Jon said this was his favorite episode in a while! Taylor kicks off the show with how he's been thinking deeply about the internet and how we take it for granted. It really is incredible the things we can do with it and we never really give it a second thought.
Next, they discuss the parish program growing in popularity, Alpha. Taylor's parish is starting it this week and Jon has led it a few times at his parish so Taylor picks his brain about it. What worked, what didn't and the importance of the work of pre-evangelization.
To close the show, they play a new game called "Catholic Fantasy Draft." They each drafted Catholic heroes from the Scriptures and Church History to play on their fantasy football team. It was a grand ol time!

  <description>Everyone loves it when Taylor gets thrown off, and cohost Shaun McAfee delivers! In an episode building towards a conversation on what real integrity is and how we may have been setting ridiculous standards for ourselves, Shaun instead wants to start the show by peeling back the curtain on some updates to the intro Taylor has had to implement. 
We also talk about our failures as parents, scary Churches, share the most insane promotion ever and are joined by the host of Catholic Sports Radio, Bruce Wawrzyniak, to talk about...well...Catholicism, sports and radio.
Tune in for a lighthearted and fun conversation that gets real real fast.

    <![CDATA[<p>Everyone loves it when Taylor gets thrown off, and cohost Shaun McAfee delivers! In an episode building towards a conversation on what real integrity is and how we may have been setting ridiculous standards for ourselves, Shaun instead wants to start the show by peeling back the curtain on some updates to the intro Taylor has had to implement. </p>

<p>We also talk about our failures as parents, scary Churches, share the most insane promotion ever and are joined by the host of Catholic Sports Radio, Bruce Wawrzyniak, to talk about...well...Catholicism, sports and radio.</p>

<p>Tune in for a lighthearted and fun conversation that gets real real fast.</p>

  <itunes:subtitle>Bearded Blevins co-hosts this week as we discuss Tiger Woods return to Master’s victory and what it has to do with Taylor’s working out and spiritual life. They also talk about the super long Palm Sunday and Good Friday Gospel readings and how to have a good experience with them instead of focusing on your knees buckling for standing up so long. We connect with some of the characters in the Passion narrative that we’ve never really connected with before.

Our guest this week is Luke Vercollone, a recently retired professional soccer player who is using his platform to share the Gospel message. His ministry, Beast4Christ, calls everyone to be a saint…and has some amazing apparel! Tune is as we talk about his soccer career, how to strive for sainthood and be a Beast for Christ. </itunes:subtitle>
