Thrilled to finally connect with the guys at JMJ Missions to be on each other’s podcast. Here’s what they said about the episode I was on!
“We zoomed (no pun intended) all the way down to Texas to bring on a special guest, Taylor Schroll of Forte Catholic. Taylor's podcast is super catholic, consistent, and popular. In fact, he was recently featured in an article on The Wall Street Journal! Listen in as Taylor offers advice on how to evangelize in a culture that is becoming increasingly secular, as well as some talk on our all time favorite athletes.”

Pray the Stations of the Cross with us
A typical Catholic tradition during Lent is to pray through the stations of the cross at the parish on Friday afternoons. For those times we can't do that(looking at you Coronavirus), Taylor and Fr. Anthony wanted to pray with you digitally.

Taylor and a friend wrote these reflections while in college for a young adult audience and they have been used for youth nights and young adult groups throughout the country. We hope you enjoy praying and reflecting with us.

Appearance on The Nick Longo Show
I joined Nick Longo to chat a variety of topics, including me aspiring to be the Patron Saint of Righteous Revenge. And oh yea, and we joke a lot about Edmund Mitchell. This is the most fun I’ve had as a guest since, well, being on Edmund’s show.
I joined Nick Longo to battle and see who is better - me or Edmund Mitchell. We chat about our most cringe-worthy ministry moments, making Catholicism fun again, giving talks, how I spends way too much time playing video games, and how to have longevity in professional ministry. Oh yea, and we joke a lot about Edmund. This is the most fun I’ve had as a guest since, well, being on Edmund’s show. Tune in wherever you listen to podcasts!
Appearance on Ministry Leaders Anonymous
This episode of Ministry Leaders Anonymous was a ton of fun! I got to join Chris Bartlett in a conversation about radical accompaniment. I recently had a moment that was accidentally phenomenal and special for me as a ministry leader and we talk through that.

When the President is away, the kids will play...Matt is out of town so Chris upgrades producer Taylor to co-host Taylor and they have some fun talking about accompaniment in ministry. Taylor shares a pretty wild story, but he promises he's still a good Catholic boi.
Appearance on "The Show w/Edmund Mitchell"
I have never had more fun as a guest on a show! We spent hours together in a perfect balance of hilarious banter and going deep into our personal lives, fears and dreams.

Taylor’s 5th appearance on The Jen Fulwiler Show
I had the wonderful opportunity to be Jen’s guest again! Frankly, she just wanted to vet me before I spoke to her son’s youth ministry. She called me the world’s expert on keeping kids Catholic......I didn’t live up. We talked about being bored in faith and how all adults play a huge role in the faith lives of young people.

Appearance on Man Fully Alive
Had an absolute blast talking with the guys from Man Fully Alive about Catholic guilt and scrupulosity.
This one was special! I joined the guys over at Man Fully Alive Ministries for their most recent podcast and boy was it a trip! We talked about slaughtering Catholic guilt, transforming it into conviction and the often coexistent scrupulosity. I also shared my suspicions about one of their cohosts, so it kinda turned true crime podcast as well. Tune in now!
Appearance on Outside the Walls
Convo on TL Putnam’s podcast about changing schedules & engaging young people in their faith.
It was a pleasure to join TL Putnam on his podcast today to talk about everyone heading back to school and it’s impact on our schedules. We also discuss engaging kids, especially teens, in their faith. Tune in!

Two appearances on Work to Game's Casually Hardcore Podcast
I was honored to join the fellas at Work To Game on their YouTube channel/podcast twice this Spring. We talk about where faith, video games and family meet.
My new friends over at the Work To Game YouTube channel were kind enough to invite me on their show twice recently for their podcast focused around where video games, faith and family meet. You can check out both episodes(Eps. 15 & 17) below on YouTube or on iTunes here.
With 2019 fresh and new, there are already a lot of games that are planning on making their way out in the next few months if not the next 12. We invited Taylor Schroll of the Forte Catholic Podcast to come and hang out and talk about video games.

"Unpublished Worship Songs" A humorous look through the Scriptures
Listen to Taylor's "Unpublished Worship Songs," a collection of humorous ditties with lyrics from Scripture passages that have NEVER had a song written about them. It was probably for good reason....
Laugh along with us!
As a musician for Mass, your job is to enhance the prayer experience of the community and connect the songs to the daily readings. Not only does it help people pray during Mass but we have all had a hymn we heard at Church stuck in our head for days after. It helps to keep the theme of that Mass in our thoughts long after we've forgotten the readings & homily.
Sometimes the songs are easy to pick as there are a ton of Scriptures written about popular passages. Buuuut sometimes there are more odd or obscure readings and it is hard to find songs that match. That's where the idea for "Unpublished Worship Songs" came from. These are comical songs I wrote about the Bibles underappreciated stories.
For instance:
1. "Dumb Ways to Die: Shebears Edition" comes from 2 Kings 2:23-24 where some children perish in one of the oddest ways.
2. "Kills With the Sword" is from Exodus 22:20-26 with some odd advice on how to deal with aliens.
3. "Thanks Paul" is a thank you to the Apostle Paul...but I also have some questions...
4. "Beer and the Bible" is Taylor's country side singin' about the alcohol proverb. (Prov 31:6)
5. "I Will Send A Curse" from Malachi Chapter 2 is the exact opposite of uplifting.
Listen is as the Bible comes to life in a WHOLE. NEW. WAY!
"People Get Ready" Cover
Here's a cover of "People Get Ready" by Curtis Mayfield during the Advent and Christmas season!
People Get Ready is a song originally written and sung by Curtis Mayfield in 1971. I heard the song as a child on a Country Christian cassette tape (I know I know, don't ask). I loved the song then and heard it recorded again by Rod Stewart in 1993.
I don't think I have heard it since around that time. Yet, since the beginning of Advent, the song has been stuck in my head every! single! day! In this season of waiting and preparing for the Lord, I have been reminded by this song that we are not only preparing for December 25th, but also for the Lord's eventual return, or the day we meet him face to face.
So every time this song has popped into my head, I have asked myself, "Am I ready?" And it has inspired me not only to strive for Christ more this Advent season, but to continue seeking Him in new ways even after Christmas has come and gone.
For my full thoughts on the song, check out the first segment of episode 62 of the Forte Catholic Podcast.
I hope you enjoy the cover with the help of my friend Becka Landry on the keys! Merry Christmas!
Keynote Session from Revive 2017
I shared this "Ablaze" message at Revive 2017 about keeping the flame of faith burning. We do so by looking at what fire needs to stay burning and the equivalencies in the spiritual life.
I shared this "Ablaze" message at the Revive Youth Rally in Bryan, TX this Fall! It was a fun outdoor event in downtown Bryan(hence the train interrupting me at the beginning lol).
After playing the "Hunger Games or Scripture" trivia game, I talked about the image of fire throughout salvation history and it's implications for keeping our fire of faith aflame. I also talked about what fire needs to sustain and the equivalencies for that in our spiritual life.
