Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 106

Producer Sam and Fr. Jared Cooke were SUPPOSED to be back for this episode but they both got sick in the Holy Land. So instead, guest producer AJ Barrows and I talk about what we would do if we won the 1.6 billion dollar lotto and who would win in a fight: Taylor or a baby elephant. We also have the author of “Jesus Loves Movies” to chat about connecting our favorite films to our faith.

Producer Sam and Fr. Jared Cooke were supppooooosed to be here this week to share about their trip to the Holy Land. But alas, they were both sick(I blame the Holy Land...) so AJ Barrows guest produced. Instead of talking the beauty of the Holy Land, we talked about what we would do if we won the 1.6 billion dollar lotto, finding happiness AND(of course) who would win in a fight: Taylor or a baby elephant.

Our guest this week is the author of "Jesus Loves Movies," Phil Strangolagalli(yea, you try to pronounce it!). His book walks through 30 of our favorite films and draws out connections to our walk with Christ in them. I was fascinated by some of the brilliant connections he makes. I'm gonna go watch a movie now! Enjoy the episode!
