#10

Jon Blevins cohosts as we discuss offering our Lenten sacrifices on behalf of others, our newest trivia game & the best lines from St. Escriva's spiritual classic "The Way."

#9

Liv cohosts as Taylor shares about a recent funeral he attended and dealing with tragedy/grief. They also discuss the often hidden gem of Lectio Divina and looking back at moments from the past to remember the good God has done for us.

#8

Fr. Anthony helps Taylor ring in the new year with a State of the Forte looking back on 2021 & a new game Father invented to make Taylor look dumb. J.P. Quinn rejoins the show to share his hot takes in the game he invented: Forte/Mezzo/Piano.

#7

Whoops! It's a different Sciarappa! Nick cohosts this week as he shares some spicy takes, plays Freestyle Preaching with Taylor and they chat about finding renewal in faith through the story of the dry bones coming to life.

#6

Usually it's Jon bringing the hot takes but this week Taylor is unhinged and Jon is incredibly pastoral. They discuss a common trope about boring Masses that Taylor no longer agrees with & how auxiliary bishops are pretty much made up. This leads to questioning if some of the Church's rules are pharisaical or not. They also discuss their best and worst dates ever in preparation for Valentine's Day.

#5

Taylor created a new trivia game for Fr. Anthony to tackle. They also discuss why the priesthood exists and Taylor asks some questions about prayer. They also share random connections to Forte Catholic from the internet this week.

#4

Kathryn Whitaker is in town and joins Taylor to talk about his trip to LA and her recent experience of extreme hospitality at Church. They also play our saints game "Imitate, Intercess or Ignore." Fr. Innocent Montgomery joins the show to share how we can enter into the desert with Jesus this Lent.

#3

New biblical insight into Baptism, a ridiculous Scripture game & a Doctor to make us all smarter

#2

Here is our "Holy Weak" episode discussing our favorite(and most annoying) parts of Holy Week. We also discuss healing and if we should be asking for miraculous healings. And Fr. Harrison Ayre joins us to play our Freestyle Preaching game against his Clerically Speaking cohost, Fr. Anthony :)

#1

Taylor has a lot of off-the-wall questions for Fr. Anthony Sciarappa from married priests, to weird Catholic spelling choices to random thoughts on Heaven. It's quite a fun journey as Taylor tries to entrap Fr. Anthony with his questions. They also play a new game that is either the best thing or worse thing we have ever done.
