(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 was able to find God in Chili's that night

Next, he forces Allison to play one of the listener's favorite games that she absolutely hates: Freestyle Preaching! Each host gives the other three words that they have to incorporate into a 60 second message about faith. She loves spontaneity!

Finally, Taylor shares a lesson he learned from a consistent theme in many recent movies. We really have more impact on the people around than we may think.

]]> 242: Dreams, Madlibs & Freestyle Preaching w/Edmund Mitchell https://fortecatholic.fireside.fm/242 0e7d0c5d-803a-441d-972a-a89520a34854 Wed, 02 Jun 2021 01:00:00 -0500 Taylor Schroll full Taylor Schroll Edmund Mitchell cohosts and tries to explain Taylor's strange dreams. They also play a Catholic version of mad libs and everyone's favorite "Freestyle Preaching." 56:20 no Edmund Mitchell cohosts and tries to be Taylor's "Joseph" by interpreting his strange dreams. What is dreaming? Do they tell us something real? Can you sin in dreams? Almost none of these questions are answered, but they're attempts are entertaining. The second segment, we used Taylor's 2nd grader's new Catholic MadLibs book to try to create comedy. It bombed, which some of you think is the best comedy. If not, we apologize for one of our strangest segments ever. Finally, Edmund gets to try "Freestyle Preaching" for the first time. Each host gives the other 3 words they have to include in a 60 second sermon. Some of them turn out great and some of them are Edmund's attempts. Enjoy!
