  <description>We hosted a men's retreat in Southern Louisiana and it was an awesome experience! We share graces &amp;amp; play a hot takes game in a live episode :)
Taylor &amp;amp; eight other guys spent the weekend in a beautiful lake house in southern Louisiana and had a great time! We spent the weekend in prayer, fellowship, drinks, great food, a trip to the beach and some great game time! 
We decided to record an episode at the lake house together with a whole cast of characters. In today's episode, you'll hear some of the things that the Lord was doing in the hearts and minds of the men on the retreat and also get to join in our fun as we play "Mezzo/Piano/Forte", our hot takes about Catholicism game.
We hope you enjoy this episode! If you'd like more info about our retreats, head to https://www.fortecatholic.com/retreats

  <description>Taylor &amp;amp; Kathryn share stories from their recent retreat/conference weekends and talk a bit about prayer. Taylor has been asking people he respects and looks up to how they pray for years and Kathryn gives the most surprising answer yet! 
They also discuss Lectio Divina, which is a way of praying with Scripture that Taylor has found particularly helpful. They lay out how it works and discuss some of the fruits of prayer, in particular with the Gospel story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman.

  <description>The show starts on a bit of a somber note this week. Taylor recently attended a funeral and shares a bit about the experience, grieving the loss of someone and the difficulties many people face with mental health.
In the second segment, they discuss the (often hidden) gem of Lectio Divina. This ancient way of praying with Scripture has helped many people grow in tremendous ways in their spiritual life. They walk through the parable of the sower with Lectio Divina in mind.
Finally, Taylor talks about a random moment that brought him back to an encounter with God from 2004. This brings about a conversation about returning to memories of times when we felt God's presence during periods of darkness.
We hope you enjoy this week's episode!
