Foundations, Salvation & Storytelling w/Kathryn Whitaker & Liv Harrison | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 256
Taylor & Liv are together in studio and kick off the show sharing awesome things God did in their lives during childhood. Kathryn Whitaker joins in the convo as they share foundations of who they are that sustain them even through the toughest of times. Finally, Taylor tries to talk with Liv about how salvation would work in the multiverse but she just gets confused. Enjoy! :)
Taylor drove all the way to Liv's house to record this episode in her home studio. The kick off the show with Chicken Soup for the Schroll: sharing stories of times that God did something awesome for them in their childhood/teen years. They talk about the importance of remembering and sharing what God has done in your life.
Kathryn Whitaker was also in studio and Taylor had a bone to pick with her :) But they the three of them shared some things that are anchors or foundations for them as people that keep them strong during even the toughest of times.
To close out the show, Taylor tries a segment about how salvation would work in the multiverse and Liv wanted nothing to do with it. So Taylor tried to pivot and talk about death bed conversions, especially for people who did horrible things and Liv didn't like that idea either lolol.
Super fun episode that we really hope you enjoy! We definitely all did being together in the studio :)

We kick of this week's show(THE FIRST TRUE PALINDROME EPISODE IS SHOW HISTORY!!!) by talking about the Captain Marvel Trailer release and our reactions to it. We talk about how the Avengers post-Infinity War are stuck between a rock and a hard place. This is our theme for the day as we begin a conversation about the Israelites being stuck between a rock and a hard place at the Red Sea here and finish it in the 3rd segment. We talk about the "Red Sea Rules"; the lessons we learn from looking at how God worked in this story.
In the second segment, we are rejoined by Tony Vasinda, this time to talk about the work of Project YM and what they are doing to support youth ministers around the world. Tony gives us a peek into the lives of a youth minister that most people don't see and how we can support them as well.
