Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 112

As Advent kicks off, we talk about finding rest in this season of hustle and bustle. We also chat with seminarian Travis Crotty about “A Day in the Life” of a seminarian and his insights from a recent media fast. We also chat what we’re doing for Advent this year!

Taylor is joined by Shaun McAfee to kick off the Advent season with ample reminders to slow down and find rest in God. Taylor shares from one of the weirdest weeks he's had in a while that led into Advent. From travel, to being pulled over, to tech difficulties to being a guest on an atheist's podcast, it was an interesting one for sure. And there's an Advent connection to all of it!

In the second segment, seminarian Travis Crotty joins the show to share what "A Day in the life of a Seminarian" is like to give us a behind the scenes look into preparation for the priesthood. He shares particularly about the media fast he took and its implications for us this Advent season.

In the final segment, we chat about what we are doing for Advent & how it is one of our favorite seasons to draw us back into the life of Christ.

Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 94

Ever had one of those weeks where everything goes wrong? Taylor did last week. Tune in as we talk about dealing with stress & frustration in our every day lives and when it creeps into our spiritual life. This week’s guest is recent HS grad Blaine Tamez on growing in faith through temptation and peer pressure.

"So you had a bad day" -Daniel Powter (2005)

Why yes Daniel, yes I did. And then another...and then another. This week, Taylor talks about his really stupid week that involved a hit and run and everything around him breaking. We address trying to deal with frustrations and stress in our day to day lives and how it creeps into our spiritual life. Taylor opens up about his current frustrations in his spiritual life and the one thing keeping him grounded through it all.

We also have a bit of levity in the middle to talk about the lights in the darkness of this week like how great the Forte Catholic/Everyday Catholics crossover went, a hilarious compliment Taylor received, and a new partnership with Catholic Balm Co.!

Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 22

Mardi Gras show! I talk about stress and Lent and what they have in common. I am also joined by the founder of SPSE to learn about evangelization.

Happy Mardi Gras!

Lent is soon upon us, so let's talk about getting prepared for this great season while also dealing with the reality of stress in our lives. This weekend, I went on a retreat called "Stressed Out" about how to deal with stress as a Christian. In this podcast episode, I share what I learned over the weekend and how it applies to our Lenten season. We also do a Forte Five countdown segment of the best 5 things I've ever given up for Lent.

I am also joined by the founder of Saint Paul Street Evangelization, Steve Dawson. He has a great story of how God has worked in his life and also talks about how their ministry works and what they can do to help us grow in our ability to share the Gospel.
