Taylor recently saw Knives Out in theaters and has thoughts to share with cohost Fr. Anthony. They compare and contrast mystery novels with Church Teaching(cuz that makes sense.)

Our guest this week is Chris Mueller of Everyday Catholic to share the heart of a father as he and his family rally around their son who has cancer.
Liv Harrison co-hosts and reallllyy wanted to talk about the Golden Globes...so we did. I never thought I'd say this but Ricky Gervais may have actually taught us something.
Our guest this week is Chris Mueller. He creates wonderful content at Everyday Catholic but this week, we talk about the struggle his family has been going through with their 5 year old, Ben, fighting cancer. The reason I love Chris is that he is real. He shares both his trust in the Lord through the toughest times of this hardship but also is honest about the tough days. He truly shows the heart of a father.
Finally, Taylor lets Liv takeover a segment to discuss the feminine Genius and her upcoming conference. Ladies, this conference is for you. Register at https://geniuswomensconference.com.

Forte Catholic Podcast Episode 170
Jon “Bearded” Blevins cohosts and boy is he salty…but he’s also very kind. :) He and Taylor discuss getting back into the swing of things after Christmas break and give the “State of the Show” with updates and the best shows of 2019! Our guests this week are the authors of Uncompromising Purity, Everett Fritz and Kelsey Skoch to bring to the light that pornography is not just a men’s issue.
Jon "Bearded" Blevins cohosts and boy is he salty! This is Taylor's favorite version of Jon. We talk about getting back into the swing of things after a rocky Christmas break and commiserate a bit.
Our guests this week are the co-authors of Uncompromising Purity, Everett Fritz and Kelsey Skoch. All too often, the topic of sexual purity is presented as something that’s exclusively a male issue, leaving women who struggle with it feeling alone. Finally bringing this topic to the light, Uncompromising Purity provides encouragement and practical strategies to overcome these and other addictions and temptations that keep women from living in freedom.
In the final segment, Taylor feels self-conscious about doing the "State of the Show" but Jon is very nice to him. It's very cute. Taylor reciprocates the niceties and goes through with the update and countdown of the Top Ten episodes of 2019.

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!

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...

Taylor went to NCYC, Fr. Anthony went to a ditch. Dustin Bertrand wrote a book that Taylor has a better title for. This show was wild! Enjoy it along with all the other craziness Thanksgiving brings :)
Taylor attended the ginormous National Catholic Youth Conference with over 24k people there but that doesn't even lead our show this week. What leads the show instead is co-host Fr. Anthony Sciarappa sharing the story of driving his car into a ditch and then promptly having a phone call with Taylor to clear the air in their friendship. IT. WAS. WILD!!!
We're joined this week by Dustin Bertrand to look back at his first 30 years from his recent book that Taylor definitely has a better title for.
Happy Thanksgiving from the Forte Catholic team!

Allison Sullivan cohost with Taylor for the three year anniversary show!!!
Taylor took a 9th grade theology test and...it didn't go well.
Our guests this week are Janine McGann and Liz Sams to share about the film they created "Speaking to Sparrows." This was created for young women to reaffirm their worth in God and help them through their trials.
The final segment is, as Allison put it, "the squirreliest segment we've ever done." She tries to speak about what the Lord has revealed to her about waiting but instead they incessantly make fun of each other. It gets off the rails quick. Enjoy! 😊

Catholics have been super hateful this week and Taylor is not happy about it. BUT Dr. Peter Kreeft comes in to save the day! This absolute legendary Catholic thought leader joins us to talk about his new book to help us dive deeper into the best Gospel. Cohost Liv Harrison lightens the mood by cringing at a new Catholic superstition Taylor learned this week.
Liv Harrison is in studio as co-host. Over a decade ago, Taylor made a promise to himself never to do a certain thing again. He broke that rule for the first time this week. The amount of hate thrown around by Catholics this week necessitated a change of course. We have to be better than this...
Our guest this week is an absolute legend! Dr. Peter Kreeft has been at the head of Catholic thought for decades and was a huge influence on young Taylor. It was a honor to speak with him about his insanely impressive career and his new book Probes, written to help us dive deeper into the Gospel of John(obv the best one.)
In the final segment, Liv and Taylor lighten the mood from the first discussion by talking about strange Catholic superstitions, including a new one Taylor heard about this week.
