ABOUT
Forte Catholic was established in 2015 to answer a few simple questions:
What does the life of a Catholic who is striving to grow in holiness, at any stage in that process, look like?
What do a daily prayer life, holy friendships, spiritual growth, getting connected with the church(parish, groups, individuals), etc. look like and how do we do that?
I'm joined by Steve Pokorny to talking about ridding your life of pornography once and for all. Also, producer Sam and I finish up our recap from the National Youth Workers Convention by talking about a quirky Mass, the parable of the talents and not being Jesus' lawyer.
On our second Thanksgiving episode, we talk about our recent trip to Memphis and the Civil Rights Museum. We are also joined by "International Man of Science" J.P. Quinn.
We finish our 3-part series on Jesus' encounters with his Apostles after the Resurrection and speak with Anthony D'Ambrosio about Catholic Creatives & 8beats. Finally, we introduce a new segment called "Unpublished Worship Songs" that you absolutely can't miss!
We cover it ALL this week as we talk twitter, viral videos, doubting Thomas, the Ultimate Catholic Comic Book, weird prayers, ministry and Star Wars. All in under an hour!
A few months ago, listeners submitted questions or suggested topics for the show. A few of them, Taylor wasn't smart enough to answer alone, so he brought in help!
This episode we explore the Old Testament with some fun stories and a game to prove its not just an "old boring book." Taylor also speaks with author Daniel Mattson about his book "Why I Don't Call Myself Gay."
Two guests this week in two-time surfing world champion and hard core Catholic, Bear Woznick, and the President of Ignatius Press, Mark Brumley. We talk about manhood, being a father and the Protestant Reformation.
Mass Text segment, talking the impact and influence of hip-hop on culture and the Church with Dr. Alex Gotay and a social experiment with AJ Barrows
A celebration of the show's 1 year anniversary! We are joined by the guys from the Catholic Man Show with a BIG announcement for the show, Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers about reading the Bible like never before and our favorite memories of the show's 1st year.
I shared this "Ablaze" message at Revive 2017 about keeping the flame of faith burning. We do so by looking at what fire needs to stay burning and the equivalencies in the spiritual life.

How you spend your time shows your priorities. Tune in to this video on how to have biblical balance in your life.
An excerpt from a youth minister training session I gave overviewing the US Bishops vision for comprehensive youth ministry.
This is the recording of a talk I gave to my fellow missionary youth ministers at Ablaze Ministries on the spirit of abandon...giving ourselves fully over to the Lord, even when it is difficult to do so.
So often, we who have been around the Church for a while have given our lives to the Lord generally but not in specific areas of our lives. God wants all of us. The more we give to Him, the more we can receive from Him.
Summer break is not a vacation from your faith. In this video, Taylor stresses the importance of helping young people stay plugged into their faith this summer.
Here's my most recent appearance on the "Beyond the Pew" video series from Ablaze Ministries, a resource for parents of young people. In this video, I share what I recently learned from a day long training session on discernment.
I had the privilege and honor to speak and lead worship at the 2016 Sioux City Diocesan Youth Rally! I survived an insane travel fiasco to get there on time and boy was it worth it!
Watch the highlights of my sessions here.
