  <itunes:subtitle>Shaun is back to discuss being Catholic in the workplace &amp; sacramentals. Living out our faith in a public sector job has been a frequently requested topic for us so we found a gov't employee to help us out lol. And Shaun tries to convince Taylor that sacramentals are more important than he may initially think.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>Shaun is back! One of the OG cohosts returns for a fun conversation. 
How to live your faith in the workplace has been a frequently requested topic for us to tackle so we finally found someone who doesn't work for the Church lol. Shaun talks about how he is able to live his faith in his fancy government job.
They also talk about Sacramentals which is one of Shaun's favorite topics &amp;amp; Taylor doesn't understand all the hubbub. Shaun does his best to convince Taylor of their importance in the lives of Catholics. It's almost like he wrote a book about them or something...(https://tanbooks.com/products/books/compendium-of-sacramentals-encyclopedia-of-the-churchs-blessings-signs-and-devotions/)

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.

  <description>At long last, our Italian cohost Shaun McAfee returns! He and Taylor catch up on everything that's happened since they last spoke, including Taylor's recent retreat WHERE HE WAS SILENT! WHAT!?!?!
The guys talk about the importance of silence, breaking out of our normal routines, intercessory prayer, selfishness, our gifts...as well as Canadian football(you know, the important things).
Tune in for a conversation about the spiritual life, a good laugh or seven &amp;amp; because it will make you feel better about yourself.

  <description>We kick this week's show off trying to find some levity in the midst of troubling times. Taylor shares some recent realizations(and prank ideas) he's had recently &amp;amp; producer Sam gives him a new challenge.
In the second segment, Shaun McAfee rejoins the show to talk about his new book, "Social Media Magisterium" on the proper use of media in our time. It helps that since his first appearance on episode 76, Shaun and Taylor have spent countless hours playing video games &amp;amp; becoming great friends. Tune in for this laughfest with nuggets of truth bombs throughout from señor McA4!
In the final segment, Taylor shares how one of his favorite rap songs from High School has ironically been helping him through the tough last few weeks.
