Thanksgiving & Mind Ya Business w/ Kathryn Whitaker | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 364
Happy Thanksgiving! Taylor was reminded that it is hard to be negative and thankful at the same time so recalling what we are grateful for is a great remedy. He & Kathryn share what they are thankful for & also keep the Thanksgiving spirit alive but talking about minding your own business, especially when you don't have all the facts.
Happy Thanksgiving from our crew to yours! We hope this episode gives you some laughs while you're avoiding your in-laws ;)
There has been some negativity floating around the past few weeks so we decided to combat it with some thanksgiving! Of course it was perfect timing with the holiday this week, but Taylor was also reminded that it is hard to be negative and thankful at the same time so recalling what we are grateful for is a great remedy. He & Kathryn share the things in their personal lives, families, church, work and more that they are most thankful for this year.
In keeping with the theme of Thanksgiving, we had to talk about arguing and people not minding their own business ;) Kathryn shares a ridiculous comment she received that definitely crossed the line. She shares the story & what bothered her about it. She & Taylor talk about how we should all mind our own business a little more, especially when we don't have all the facts. Like mama always said, if you aint got nuthin nice to say then don't say nuthin!
We hope y'all all have a beautiful Thanksgiving! We are so grateful you listen to our show. :) Blessings on you and yours this week!

Chubby, Worthless & Answered Prayers w/Liv Harrison | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 304
A HUGE personal win for Taylor this week that he and Liv chat about. She gives us update on her dad's health, they discuss the woman at the well & remembering answered prayers.
Taylor is finally worthless and he couldn't be more excited!
He & Liv discuss remembering the days that we prayed for what we have now. Taylor has a hard time being thankful for the little wins because he is constantly looking towards the next goal. They have a conversation about how to slow down and look back on how far things have come.
Finally, Taylor shares how the woman at the well story has always bothered him a bit and the new insight from an unlikely source that helped him quite a bit.

Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 166
Taylor went to jury duty and learned something special about the connection between Church & State. Our guest this week is Fr. Tim Grumbach to fight over which baseball team Mary belongs to and explain why he’s definitely not the surfing priest. Finally, Taylor tells Liv she can share from her hardship but mostly just talks about shaving his beard.
Liv Harrison is back from the dead to cohost as Taylor shares his jury duty story from the day of recording this show. Our country is founded on separation of Church and State but maybe they're more similar than we think.
Our guest this week is Fr. Tim Grumbach who definitely doesn't want to be called the Surfing Priest. They chat about Taylor and Father's baseball rivalry, which team Mary belongs to and more. Taylor then tries to learn more about Mary but Liv ruins it. Maybe next time...
In the final segment, Taylor promised Liv she could talk about her recent illnesses and how that's gone but mostly just talks about shaving his beard instead. Yayyyy!

Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 165
Taylor got ejected from a HS basketball game at the school where he is the campus minister and he and Bearded Blevins give our live commentary on a homily we got of Fr. Anthony’s. HILARIOUS!! 😂 😂 😂
We had a blast with this one!!! 😂 😂 😂
Taylor got ejected from a HS basketball game where he is the campus minister...whoops...lol. He shares the story, gets cohost Jon Blevins' take and the surprise reaction from the community.
We only have two segments today because the second is so special! Fr. Anthony sent Taylor his most recent homily knowing EXACTLY what he was getting himself into. So he joins us without joining us as Jon and Taylor give their commentary throughout the homily. Live with us the dream of many lay people to heckle or commentate during the homily. Soooo much fun! Special thanks to Fr. Anthony for giving us permission to roast him. We have been nice too...maybe...
