Covenant with Abraham
God promised Abraham amazing things but asked for complete trust in return. Taylor shares on Beyond the Pew how the story of sacrificing Isaac foreshadows the cross and Christ's submission to the Will of God. Our God is truly a father that keeps His promises!

Authentic Manhood
What does it mean to be an authentic man of God? How can we lead young men towards this goal? These are the questions I look to answer in this episode of Beyond the Pew.
On this episode of Beyond the Pew, I talk about pushing past temptation and fighting the good fight as David did in order to grow in virtue. David can be someone we look to as an example of this perseverance in preparing for the battle of temptation. "If we are going to be a man after God's heart we are going to fall along the way" and must have the humility to pick ourselves up and try again. Tune in to learn how to prepare to teach your sons about manhood!
My crazy thoughts on today's Mass readings
My Crazy Thoughts on Today's Daily Mass Readings. Today's Mass had me laughing my donkey off
My Crazy Thoughts on Today's Daily Mass Readings. Today's Mass had me laughing my donkey off
I hear Scripture different than most people, and today was no exception. Today's first reading is absolutely soul crushing to a certain group of people and you would cry if similar things were said to you. The Saint of the Day, St. Agnes, is a great example but my issue is what she is the patron saint of because it doesn't line up well with how her life turned out. Tune in for Taylor's wild thoughts on things that should probably be spiritually beneficial.

How do Catholic families set New Year’s Resolutions? I have some ideas…
