Episode 70: Winter Olympics Gold Medalist Curt Tomasevicz, Catholic Films & Starting Lent
Forte Catholic
02/14/18 • 53 min
Taylor had a cold this week but was helped along with the support of the team and two amazing guests: a Winter Olympics Gold Medalist and a film creator!
The start of the show was hilarious with Taylor trying to get through a segment without hacking up a lung so producers Sam and Macka helped with conversations about the beginning of Lent, an odd Gospel reading and answered prayer.
In the second segment, we are joined by Erin Dooley, the creator of the award winning Christian musical "Broken and Beautiful. (www.brokenandbeautifulmovie.com) The film launched on Ash Wednesday and focuses on five interweaving storylines of people at the same church, all dealing with some major struggle (stress, pornography, etc.).
And finally, we are joined by three time Olympic bobsledder Curt Tomasevicz. He is a die hard Catholic who shares how his faith played a huge role throughout his incredible career. Don't miss out on this interview as Curt is definitely in the running to be the next "Most Interesting Man in the World." Find out more about Curt's career and motivational speaking at www.tomaseviczbobsled.com.

364: Thanksgiving & Mind Ya Business w/ Kathryn Whitaker
Forte Catholic
11/22/23 • 91 min
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!

Taylor Schroll & Fr. Anthony Sciarappa kick off the show by sharing about their fun anger management issues. Funny stories of when rage and anger boiled, the outcomes and what strategies they've learned to quell their rage.
Next they bring back a fun game creatively called "fancy Catholic words." Fr. Anthony gives Taylor random Catholic words no one has ever heard and Taylor has to define them. Hilarity ensues AND you will learn random Catholic facts you can use to impress your two friends.
Finally, they have a conversation around the topic "Is faith a blind leap?" Is it? How do reason and faith correlate? We hope you enjoy this conversation. Have a great week y'all!

Taylor shares a story about surprising his wife when they were dating and singing a song to her based on Song of Songs. It's a very intense romance book in the middle of the Old Testament. This leads to a conversation with cohost Liv Harrison about what it means for our relationship with the works of God and the God of works.
Next, they introduce a new game called "Punishment Fits the Crime." They take turns being the penitent and the priest as one shares an odd thing to confess in reconciliation and the other responds with a fitting penance. It's hilarious and will make much more sense when you listen (we promise!)
To close out the show, they each answer random questions from our Pod Decks. This adds some spontaneity to the show when the hosts have to answer random questions from a deck of cards. The possibilities are endless!
We hope you enjoy this week's episode. :)

They also debate which sport God loves the most. They go through the pros and cons of many of the major sports and end up narrowing it down to a top 3. Let us know which sport you think God loves the best and why in the comments!

217: Jesus vs. Mary, Forte/Mezzo/Piano & Life Verse
Forte Catholic
12/09/20 • 55 min
Jesus played against Mary in a basketball game and the winner determined how we should be praying. Taylor(half a grad theology degree) has a wild theory and Jon "Bearded" Blevins(full grad theology degree (online) tries to correct him.
We also brought back two long forgotten segments and had an absolute blast! We rate recent hot takes from our friends at Clerically Speaking and learn that Jon truly has a gift from God in Life Verse where the Lord speaks directly through us to share a message with someone.
Tune in for a light-hearted and fun episode with the Wonder Boy Jon Blevins!

Fr. Anthony & Taylor have been playing many a video game during the quarantine and Taylor tries to justify it by making it sound spiritual and finding in the games positive and negative parallels to his spiritual life. He also weighs himself live on the show(unplanned) to see how he's doing physically during the lockdown.(It's wild!)
Comedian Aaron Weber stops by the show again. The point of bringing him on was to bring joy and levity during a time we all need it, but instead Fr. Anthony yells at people and tries to teach Aaron things. Poor Fr. Anthony. But Aaron still brings deep, hearty laughter. :) Follow Aaron @realaaronweber on all the social media platforms.
In the final segment, Taylor kinda goes off the rails and Father tries desperately to keep him and the show on track.
