Fr. Clint Ressler, the Catholic chaplain for the Houston Texans, joins Taylor to discuss his favorite NFL team, how Catholicism and professional sports mix and some wild stories from Fr. Clint's time with the team.

In the final segment, Jon and Taylor discuss a new concept for Taylor that apparently wasn't new to Jon called "the illusion of explanatory depth." They quiz each other on random topics and then get to the point. Enjoy!

Our guest this week is Dave Neeson, a youth minister who's side hustle is cooler than anyone else's. He works with Catholic Athletes for Christ, an organization that makes sure every Catholic in the NFL has access to the faith, especially the Sacraments, throughout the season. His stories involving some of our favorite sports heroes being die-hard Catholics are really inspiring.(catholicathletesforchrist.org)

In the final segment, Taylor and Allison face off in a duel of the Forte Five segment! They countdown their top five bible verses that they would yell in public! There's a point to all this madness....we promise!
