Paths to Holiness, Phone Upgrades & College Football w/ Kathryn Whitaker | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 368

Taylor & Kathryn discuss how there are multiple pathways to holiness within Catholicism and somehow how spiritual growth equates to phone upgrades. They also discuss their opinions on the college football playoffs, Jimbo Fisher’s firing, fairness & leadership.

Kathryn Whitaker cohosts our final episode of Advent. She & Taylor talk about how there are multiple pathways to holiness within Catholicism. This has been accepted for generations (i.e. different religious orders) but these days people find what works for them and want to impose it on everyone else.

Taylor shares one of his strangest quirks and discusses how iPhone upgrades mirror his spiritual life. How do we deal with spiritual growth?

To close the show, Kathryn has some hot takes on the College Football Playoff committee's decision & Texas A&M's historic firing of Jimbo Fisher. This connects to our moral life as we discuss fairness, excess, leadership & more.

Kathryn closes the show by sharing about the importance of being good stewards of the gifts God has given us.
