Gifts, 21 Questions & Basketball Saints w/Nick Senz & Allison Sullivan | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 346
Allison took the spiritual gifts assessment and reveals her results which leads to a good conversation on finding our place in the Church community. She also keeps Taylor on his toes by asking some of her favorite "21 questions." Nick Senz joins the show to compare NBA legends to Catholic Saints in a fun way to learn more great saint stories.
Allison did her homework from a few episodes ago & took the spiritual gifts assement. Taylor guesses what her results were before she reveals her top 6 gifts that God has given her. It leads to a good conversation about using our gifts to build the kingdom, dusting off some unused gifts and finding our place in the Church community.
In the second segment, Taylor talks with Nick Senz who compares some of our Church's greatest saints with NBA legends. It was a fun segment for Taylor because he knows more about NBA stars than saints so we got to hear some great saint stories. Whether you're a fan of the NBA, stories of the saints of both, you'll love this fun conversation.
Allison is back for the final segment to ask some of her favorite "21 questions" to keep him on his toes. The questions range from fun to hitting Taylor like a freight train.

Jesus played against Mary in a basketball game and the winner determined how we should be praying. We also brought back two long forgotten segments and had an absolute blast! We rate recent hot takes from our friends at Clerically Speaking and learn that Jon truly has a gift from God in Life Verse where the Lord speaks directly through us to share a message with someone.
Jesus played against Mary in a basketball game and the winner determined how we should be praying. Taylor(half a grad theology degree) has a wild theory and Jon "Bearded" Blevins(full grad theology degree (*online*) tries to correct him.

Karlo Broussard rejoins the show to talk about overcoming obstacles in sharing the faith. We also talk about our recent retreat, share a Forte Five countdown of key things taken away from the retreat and how shooting free throws brought a big breakthrough in Taylor’s faith.
Taylor and Producer Sam are back from retreat and have a lot to share!
In the first segment, we ask how saints hear our prayers and do the Forte Five countdown(for the first time in forever!) on the top 5 things Taylor took away from the retreat.
In the second, we are rejoined by one of our favorite guests, Karlo Broussard. He yells silly things and then talks about the best ways to overcome obstacles in sharing the faith. For more from Karlo, check out his book "Prepare the Way" from Catholic Answers.
