Wholesome Media, the Super Bowl & Msgr. Shea’s Talk w/ Chris Bartlett | Forte Catholic Podcast Ep 375

Taylor & Chris Bartlett share their favorite wholesome tv shows, play a Super Bowl inspired version of "Read My Lips" & dive into the massively popular talk from Msgr. Shea at the FOCUS Conference.

Chris Bartlett cohosts and shares with Taylor some of the wholesome media he's been watching and Taylor does likewise. They discuss Ted Lasso, Welcome to Wrexham, Everybody Loves Raymond and more borderline family shows.

Then the guys play a long lost Forte game called "Read My Lips." They take turns muting and guessing the Super Bowl themed words that the other is saying and guessing by only reading lips. And of course, they make every word connect with a Catholic concept (many rather loosely lol)

To close the show, they dive into the talk from Msgr. Shea at the FOCUS conference. This talk has swept the nation and seems to really be connecting with people. Chris praises it while Taylor has some mixed feelings about it and questions why the talk worked so well. It's a great conversations that challenges many of both hosts assumptions. We hope you enjoy!
