Songs of Songs & Punishment Fits the Crime w/ Liv Harrison | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 260
Taylor shares a story about romance involving the Song of Songs. He and Liv Harrison discuss what that story means for our relationship with God. They also introduce a new game centered around confession(it's hilarious, we promise!)
Taylor shares a story about surprising his wife when they were dating and singing a song to her based on Song of Songs. It's a very intense romance book in the middle of the Old Testament. This leads to a conversation with cohost Liv Harrison about what it means for our relationship with the works of God and the God of works.
Next, they introduce a new game called "Punishment Fits the Crime." They take turns being the penitent and the priest as one shares an odd thing to confess in reconciliation and the other responds with a fitting penance. It's hilarious and will make much more sense when you listen (we promise!)
To close out the show, they each answer random questions from our Pod Decks. This adds some spontaneity to the show when the hosts have to answer random questions from a deck of cards. The possibilities are endless!
