Liv Harrison cohosts as her and Taylor share their recent struggles in life. It’s real people! Our guest this week is Giancarlo Bernini, a Catholic magician who was recently on the hit TV show “Penn and Teller: Fool Us!” This young man is phenomenal at using his illusions to start conversation about the transcendentals of truth, beauty and goodness.
Liv Harrison guest cohosts this week!. Taylor gives an update on the crying, shares about spiritual direction and how it led to him watching Friends on Netflix instead of praying(dang it!) and locking his keys in his car...again.
Our guest this week is Catholic Magician Giancarlo Bernini. He is a college senior who is using his love and passion for illusions as an avenue to talk about the transcendentals(truth, beauty, and goodness). He was recently on the hit TV show Penn and Teller Fool Us(watch him here)! This young man is already doing great things to evangelization by reaching a crowd Catholics are not often found in and it's only going to continue to grow!
Liv and Taylor finish up the show by switching from sharing about Taylor's struggles to Liv's. They also discuss the hilarity and difficulty of working in teams and how that mirrors the Body of Christ.

Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 45
We address this week's big event: the solar eclipse. We also connect it to faith in the return of the "Forte Five" segment, interview Fr Terry Ehrman about his book on manhood and wrap up the show with a conversation with long time producer Jake on his last show.
In the first segment of this week's show, we talk about the solar eclipse that came and went the day before. I asked listeners on social media to make connections between the eclipse and faith and we started off the show with a "Forte Five" countdown segment of the five best submissions.
In segment two, I was privileged to interview author Fr. Terry Ehrman on his book "Man of God: Lessons To Young Men About Life, Sex, Friendship, Vocation, and Loving With The Heart of Christ" published by Catholic Answers. We discussed how his vocation came about and the importance of spiritual direction. For those who may have never heard of spiritual direction or have but have questions about it, this is the podcast for you.
In the final segment, Taylor reinstates producer Jake's talking privileges as he is interview on his final segment with the show before leaving for college. We discuss the path God has led him on, play corny songs in Jake's honor and laugh....a lot.
