]]> 351: Battle Mary, Freestyle Preaching & Faith Nostalgia w/ Chris Bartlett https://fortecatholic.fireside.fm/351 fab072c0-cdc1-448b-9d84-93ee9a051e8c Wed, 23 Aug 2023 01:00:00 -0500 Taylor Schroll full Taylor Schroll Taylor & Chris chat about topics they tend to shy away from when giving talks, the reasons behind it and whether they should expand their horizons or stick to the stuff they know? (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!
