Fr. Anthony co-hosts to join Taylor in discussions on imaginative prayer and reverence vs. familiarity with Christ and how the two may have to work together. This week’s guest is Sam Guzman of the Catholic Gentleman to explain to Taylor what toxic masculinity is and how to change it.
Fr. Anthony co-hosts and Taylor has been saving a story for a month just for this moment with Padre. He shares a story of attending a Mass that had some odd quirks and made him think about the relationship between reverence and familiarity with Christ and how the two can sometimes feel at odds.
This week’s guest is Sam Guzman of the Catholic Gentleman to explain to Taylor what toxic masculinity actually is and how to change it. Sam has been doing great stuff for Catholic men for years. Be sure to check out his website with all kinds of resources for Catholic dudes.
In the final segment, the guys talk about imaginative prayer, Taylor’s struggles with it and we laugh at/with Peter(what’s new?). This is a new style of prayer for Taylor and Fr. Anthony is quite encouraging(yep, you read that right).

It gave us great insight into some issues we have had before in relationships and tiffs. Tune in to laugh, learn a bit about yourself & your friends and....uh...laugh again.

The reveal of the 3rd annual Ministry Madness Bracket, discussion and misconceptions of Memento Mori & Paul George rejoins the show for a deep conversation on the beauty and difficulties of marriage.
Jon Blevins co-hosts this week as we talk updates, Memento Mori and are joined by Paul George to talk marriage.
The 3rd annual Ministry Madness Bracket is here! This is a voteable bracket on which Catholic ministry leaders would win in a legal boxing match all decided by you, the listener. Head to MinistryMadness.com for more info and to cast your votes now!
We loved our conversation with Paul George! One of my biggest issues with how I have seen most marriage prep work is that a picture is cast that everything is going to be beautiful and rosy. Yes, marriage is a beautiful sacrament and gift, but its also hard. Paul hits this right on the head in a very open and honest conversation between the three of us. Find more from Paul at DiscoverTheArtOfLiving.com.
In the final segment, Jon and Taylor discuss what Memento Mori means, our previous misconceptions of it and how it is helpful in the spiritual life, especially during Lent.

BONUS CONTENT-Galentine's Day Convo with Katie Prejean McGrady
Katie Prejean McGrady joins the show for a bonus episode on the recent Galentine’s Day minor controversy. Do single women want their married/dating friends there? Also, Katie shares insight on dating and marriage for everyone: male, female, single or married. This spur of the moment convo is silly, fun and our guest is insightful. If that’s not Forte Catholic, I don’t know what is!
So this all started with a friend of mine who is in a serious relationship hosting a Galentine’s celebration for all of her friends…who are single. She is of the mind that it’s ladies getting together to celebrate female friendship. I think her hosting for all her single friends is the accidentally cruelest thing this sweet lady as ever done lol. So of course, we took the discussion to Twitter with a poll and the results have been coming in almost exactly 50/50 on whether single people want their married/dating friends at Galentine’s. This got Catholic Twitter’s lead on all things “Parks and Rec” involved and we fall on opposite sides of the discussion so we knew we had to record a convo around the Galentine’s phenomenon. So we scheduled it 30 minutes before recording and now it’s here for ya! I also ask Katie to share advice for all of us(male, female, single, married) around the week of Valentine’s/Galentine’s. It was silly, fun and the guest was informative and insightful. If that’s not Forte Catholic, I don’t know what is! Enjoy :)
P.S. Be sure to check out Katie’s work at KatiePrejean.com & her podcast “The Electric Waffle” on your favorite podcasting service.
