]]> Episode 83: Triumph from Tragedy, Traveling stories & a Twitter Mass debate w/ Joe Sikorra https://fortecatholic.fireside.fm/83 tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/445161204 Wed, 16 May 2018 21:00:00 -0500 Taylor Schroll full Taylor Schroll Taylor shares the tale of his travels to Iowa, how some drawings either ruined or improved his talk & shares his thoughts on the Twitter Mass controversy. Joe Sikorra joins the show to share the story of how his family learned of the mercy & compassion of God after tragedy. 54:32 no Taylor is back from his trip to Sioux City, IA for a couple of speaking events and he has stories :) Usually, his "Spiritual Warfare" talk is pretty serious but this group of students made it an absolute blast! In this show, we go through the talk through the eyes of the young lady who took hilarious notes throughout the evening. We also discuss a recent twitter debate to end a Mass controversy. In the second segment, I was honored to be joined by Joe Sikorra. His biography alone is impressive...definitely vying for the title of "Most Interesting Man in the World." He shares his moving story of how his family found joy after their hopes and dreams were shattered by the rare, fatal neurological illness of their two sons. What initially seemed to be a tragedy for Joe’s family became a story of human triumph, an outcome made possible by the compassion and mercy of God.
