Taylor Schroll — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 01:00:00 -0500

Last summer, Taylor got a disease most commonly associated with teenagers: mono. This year, the Lord decided it was time to go the opposite direction and give him an old man disease in his 30's. Awesome!

Fr. Anthony was in quite the car accident! Hear as he explains this wild story involving yelling, a bike, shattered window & the police.

Taylor closes out the show by sharing that his anniversary trip to see comedian Pete Holmes & stay in a nice hotel was not going to be stopped by a mere hurricane! He and his wife braved the eye of the storm of Hurricane Beryl in order to enjoy themselves lol.

254: Lukewarm, Betrothals & Nickelback w/Fr. Anthony Sciarappa

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 01:00:00 -0500

We have all heard that we should be like God in every way. But Taylor says there are certain times that we shouldn't and shares one of those with Fr. Anthony to kick off the show.

In the second segment, our priest asks Taylor to compare and contrast two prayers for engaged couples. It shows the pure weirdness and beauty of Catholicism.

Finally, Taylor makes the claim that he can make a spiritual point out of Nickelback's hit "Photograph." Do you think he pulled it off?!?!

229: Crosses, Christian Podcast Roulette & Routines w/Jon Blevins

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 03 Mar 2021 02:00:00 -0600

Taylor & Jon kick off this week's episode with a conversation on how it's often hard to ask for and receive help, especially in the things we pride ourselves in. We look at Simon helping Jesus carry his cross and the Our Father for insight into how our spiritual lives seem to be harder to take care of these days.

The second segment brings us to Christian Podcast Roulette. This is a game Taylor found of the interwebs that generates a Christian podcast name for you. Taylor and each of the cohosts get a new name for their podcasts. Hilarious!

Finally, Taylor gripes about how everyone says you need to wake up early to be successful. It's hogwash! They discuss morning routines and finding what works for you.

Enjoy!

228: Yelling at God, New Game & Hypothetical Sin w/Fr. Anthony Sciarappa

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 24 Feb 2021 01:00:00 -0600

Taylor yells at God. Fr. Anthony tries to help.

Taylor recently watched a clip of "The Chosen" that he really connected with and gets down to the nitty gritty of why he stays Catholic.

In the second segment, the guys play a new game with the help of PodDecks. These are random questions that they haven't seen and have to answer on the show. It led to some good and unexpected conversation.

The final segment may just be our best segment of the year. They introduce another new game called "Hypothetical Sin." Taylor shares a story that he may or may not have been involved in(involving the cops) and asks if what he did was a sin.

Thanks for listening!

224: Cancel Culture & Growing Pains w/Fr. Anthony Sciarappa

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 27 Jan 2021 01:00:00 -0600

Taylor starts off the show by asking Fr. Anthony to recount his homily. This leads to a discussion of when holy people have absolutely no idea what's going on but can still do good things in the world whilst clueless.

Taylor is fed up with cancel culture on both ends of the spectrum. We can't seem to figure it out as a unit. We wanna cancel some forever and anoint some we canceled recently. It's all very confusing. This conundrum leads to a fine discussion

The show wraps with the age old problem of trying to do something good and having failures/growing pains along the way. Taylor tells Fr. Anthony why he's not mad at him...but very disappointed.

Thanks for listening!

Taylor Schroll — Wed, 15 Jul 2020 10:00:00 -0500

Fr. Anthony cohosts and the show is hilarious from the start! Taylor throws him off within seconds and then they discuss the very important topics of being angry when God shows up and priests listening to love songs.

Our guests this week are the wonderful founders of Catholic Christian Outreach, André & Angèle Regnier. They took a break from their summer vacation to spend some time with us to talk about CCO and the new book they wrote with their family, Brick by Brick: Building a Strong Family That Won't Lose Their Faith in a Secular Culture. (https://www.sophiainstitute.com/products/item/brick-by-brick)

The show ends with the anticipated debut of the "Chicken Soup for the Schroll" segment. Many thanks to our friends on Twitter for helping make this segment come to life.
