Taylor went to NCYC, Fr. Anthony went to a ditch. Dustin Bertrand wrote a book that Taylor has a better title for. This show was wild! Enjoy it along with all the other craziness Thanksgiving brings :)
Taylor attended the ginormous National Catholic Youth Conference with over 24k people there but that doesn't even lead our show this week. What leads the show instead is co-host Fr. Anthony Sciarappa sharing the story of driving his car into a ditch and then promptly having a phone call with Taylor to clear the air in their friendship. IT. WAS. WILD!!!
We're joined this week by Dustin Bertrand to look back at his first 30 years from his recent book that Taylor definitely has a better title for.
Happy Thanksgiving from the Forte Catholic team!

Shaun McAfee cohosts as Taylor shares about his upcoming pilgrimage and begrudgingly let’s Shaun promote his newest book…which turns out to be actually a lot of fun. Who woulda thought? Our guest this week is Han Solo impersonator Tim Glemkowski to discuss parish life.
Taylor announces he's going to Rome to visit holy places...and cohost Shaun McAfee! The guys chat about why pilgrimages are a thing and the benefits they can bring.
Our guest this week is Han Solo clone, Tim Glemkowski. The guys go crazy for a bit and then get around to talking about Tim's book "Made For Mission" about parish culture. He shares what us little laypeople can do to give and receive more from our parishes.
In the final segment, Taylor begrudgingly lets Shaun plug his new book "I'm Catholic, Now What?" Believe it or not, Shaun's book is actually quite intriguing and led to a fun convo on how good or bad of a Catholic Taylor really is.
