Holy Week & Why We're Catholic w/ Kathryn Whitaker | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 381

Taylor & Kathryn reflecting on the Holiest of Weeks on the Church calendar, explaining why we became Catholic & stick with it after all this time.

Taylor & Kathryn sit down to kick off Holy Week and share their favorite (and least favorite) parts of this special week! They rank the liturgies of the Triduum, explain why they enjoy each one & share what's on their hearts and minds as they head into this week.

They also discuss the very different reasons they both became Catholic but then the oddly similar reasons that they remain Catholic.

We hope you have a blessed Holy Week! We're praying for you. Please pray for us.

Mid-Life Crisis, Life Verse & Converts w/The Cordial Catholic | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 363

Taylor asks Allison Sullivan if he's too young to have a mid-life crisis because he would like to. They talk about what's been going on and how to find a way out of it. They also play a silly game to lighten the mood. Taylor is also joined by Keith of The Cordial Catholic to chat about being more welcoming to non-Catholics & assisting with their formation.

We have to shift gears this week to respond to the recent news of the abuse scandal. We share our own struggles and try to find a light in the darkness. We find levity in the 2nd segment with a fabulous interview with Emma Fradd of NET Australia.

This week, we have to shift gears and talk about the abuse scandals that have been brought to light over the past few weeks. It is heartbreaking and hard to talk about but we felt like we needed to say something, share our own struggles and try to find a light in the darkness.

In the second segment, we find levity with the amazing Emma Fradd of NET Australia joining the show. We have a fun conversation about Australia & accents. Then she shares what NET is doing "down unda", the importance of intentionality in following Christ & powerful stories of conversion.

Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 43

I start this episode sharing from the depths of my heart some of the amazing things God has done for me in the past couple of weeks. After a long period of spiritual dryness, I feel invigorated in my faith for the first time in months.

I also interview Catholic Hip-Hop artist C2six about his music and tremendous conversion story. 

What an episode!

In the first segment, I share from my heart some really powerful things that God has done for me in the past couple of weeks. After a long period of spiritual dryness, I have had some huge prayers answered!

In the second and third segment, I interview Carlos Zamora; a man with an incredible story of conversion from gangster to passionate Catholic hip-hop artist and speaker. We talk about his life pre-conversion, how God changed his life in a huge way and what has happened since. This is one of the most powerful conversion stories I have ever heard. He uses his passion for hip-hop and the Church to build the Kingdom of God. I pray that as you listen, his story and music will inspire you to take the next step in growing closer to Christ.
