Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 187
Taylor and Beardless Blevins discuss the two holidays of the week, why some people refuse to enjoy their Catholicism, how the road to Emmaus is a perfect story for us in quarantine and Pete Burak shares about success in young adult ministry.
Beardless(yes it's gone) Blevins cohosts as Taylor shares about the two amazing holidays this week: May the 4th and Cinco de Mayo. He gets Jon's input on the Litany of Star Wars he shared and how some people just refuse to have any fun within Catholicism. They also discuss Our Lady of Guadalupe and a terrible prayer someone wrote in her honor.
Our guest this week is Pete Burak, the founder of ID ministries that is one of the few people we've found having success in young adult ministry.
In the final segment, the guys discuss the Road to Emmaus story and how it connects to our current situation.

Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 56
We cover it ALL this week as we talk twitter, viral videos, doubting Thomas, the Ultimate Catholic Comic Book, weird prayers, ministry and Star Wars. All in under an hour!
Sooo much to get to on this week's show! We kick off the night with some crazy stories from twitter, including my boss going viral last weekend and the update to 280 characters and how people are going crazy. We also continue our topic of Jesus visiting his disciples after the Resurrection with the "Doubting Thomas" story.
In the second segment, I am joined by Matt Martinusen, producer of "The Ultimate Catholic Comic Book." I have read the whole thing and absolutely love it! I had a blast talking to Matt about how the project came to be, dealing with risk, and using new mediums to share the faith.
To finish off the show, we do a "Forte Five" countdown on the five weirdest things people do or say in prayer. And then I share about a 2.5 hour conversation I had with a high school student on retreat this weekend and how Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader played a big role in that conversation.
