My Interview with an Atheist

This is a long-form interview with a friend of mine named Dan about his faith journey from growing up in a nominal Catholic family, to priestly formation, to marriage and now an "almost complete de-conversion from Catholicism." He shares his story & the things that led to where he is now.

I was fascinated with the interview because while our stories have taken different paths, I see a lot of similarities between Dan and I in some of the struggles with faith and Church(and personality). It is my hope that in having this conversation and you listening to it, that we will hear the things that he struggles with and other issues that led to where he is now and begin to think about how we address them in our own lives and how we as the Church can be a supportive and loving community.

While Dan and I may disagree on issues throughout the convo, I truly appreciated my time with him & his honesty. He gave me a lot to think about and I hope it sparks thought & conversation with you. If you have any questions or comments about the episode, send it my way on social media or send me an email to taylor@fortecatholic.com.

Liv, Taylor & Allison all together for her 1st appearance as a guest

We've been doing this show for five years and we know that not everyone has listened since back in the day. So we've started a new series called Forte Flashbacks highlighting the best moments of the show.

This week, we listen to the first time Liv came to town in order to drive Taylor crazy. Not only that, but Allison is also involved so the ladies team up against Taylor to make him look like the bad guy. It's a fun episode to listen back to to see how so much has changed and yet stayed the same. Enjoy!
