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.

Our 3rd annual “Limping Into Lent” involves Taylor and Fr. Anthony yelling about their rough weeks, the priest trying to help Taylor off the brink of insanity and Logan Mayes joins to share cringe Catholicism stories. What a wild start to Lent!
Our third annual "Limping Into Lent" involves a beat-up version of Taylor and Fr. Anthony laughing through the pain. They've both had rough weeks, Taylor loses hope and Father attempts to help.
Our guest this week is youth minister Logan Mayes. It's essentially a conversation of the classic priest, youth minister and podcaster walk into a bar and share their cringy-est stories from their time in the Church. It's a reminder that even through all the craziness, the Church is still home.
In the final segment, Taylor pokes the bear and asks Father why he won't pray with him, why he doesn't use his superpowers every day and more!

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.

The primary focus of this episode is virtue. What is it and how do we grow in it. Great topic for this spiritually focused season of Lent. We are also joined by Doug Tooke to answer some of our burning Catholicism questions in rapid-fire style.
This episode focuses on growing in virtue always, but especially during this focused spiritual season of Lent. Producer Sam shares what virtue truly is and how to grow in it during the first segment.
In the second segment, we are joined by Doug Tooke, the host of the "Renovo" podcast. Taylor recently found his show and loves it! He talks about things you don't typically hear about Catholicism at Church and probably didn't learn as a kid. We found it so interesting finally figuring out who Melchizedek is and why the heck we use candles in prayer. Taylor throws Doug a random topic and he has to explain it in less than two minutes. He is a champ!
In the final segment, Taylor continues to talk about growth in virtue with some help from a new way of looking at why we settle for sin and how we can truly live out the story God has planned for us.
Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 71
We play "Are you smarter than a 3rd grader?" Lenten edition, interview with Allison Sullivan of the "Sinner, Saint, Sister" podcast and talk about spiritual deserts.
Welcome to Lent!
(0:00-18:00)
In the first segment we play Lenten trivia with two local Catholic school 3rd graders, Silas and Hunter. Find out if your Lenten knowledge makes you smarter than a 3rd grader.
(18:00-37:01)
Then we talk with Taylor's good friend, speaker and podcast host Allison Sullivan. She makes her return to the show after being the guest way back of Episode 2. We talk about the launch of season two of her amazing podcast "Sinner, Saint, Sister." While the podcast is geared toward women, Taylor totally digs it and listens religiously. There's definitely something for everyone. Allison is one of the most passionate, fun and holy people we know so you'll enjoy your time with her!
(37:02-end)
In the final segment, Taylor opens up about his really rough week and the real "spiritual desert" time he went through and how the fog is beginning to lift and what this all has to do with the Lenten season.

Two fantastic guests this week! We talk to Winter Olympic gold medalist Curt Tomasevicz about how his faith played a huge role throughout his career. We also chat with Erin Dooley, creator of the award-winning Christian musical "Broken and Beautiful."
Taylor had a cold this week but was helped along with the support of the team and two amazing guests: a Winter Olympics Gold Medalist and a film creator!
The start of the show was hilarious with Taylor trying to get through a segment without hacking up a lung so producers Sam and Macka helped with conversations about the beginning of Lent, an odd Gospel reading and answered prayer.
In the second segment, we are joined by Erin Dooley, the creator of the award winning Christian musical "Broken and Beautiful". The film launched on Ash Wednesday and focuses on five interweaving storylines of people at the same church, all dealing with some major struggle (stress, pornography, etc.).
And finally, we are joined by three time Olympic bobsledder Curt Tomasevicz. He is a die hard Catholic who shares how his faith played a huge role throughout his incredible career. Don't miss out on this interview as Curt is definitely in the running to be the next "Most Interesting Man in the World." Find out more about Curt's career and motivational speaking at www.tomaseviczbobsled.com.
