Travel Stories, Freestyle Preaching & Best Nuggets w/Jon Blevins | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 316
Taylor & Jon share some of their funniest ministry moments, their favorite things to preach about and play one of our favorite games: freestyle preaching!
Jon Blevins cohosts as Taylor shares stories from a fun ministry trip to Seattle. The stories involve funniest ministry moments, worst biblical pronunciations & Catholics invading non-denominational camps.
They also play one of our favorite games: freestyle preaching. They give each other three random words that they have to include in a 60 second sermon which lead to some great points and good laughs.
Finally, they share some of the "best nuggets" from their real preaching at retreats, youth nights, or conferences. They have both been sharing the Gospel for years and share their favorite insights to speak about.
