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?
Katie Prejean McGrady joins the show for a bonus episode on the recent Galentine’s Day minor controversy. Do single women want their married/dating friends there? Also, Katie shares insight on dating and marriage for everyone: male, female, single or married. This spur of the moment convo is silly, fun and our guest is insightful. If that’s not Forte Catholic, I don’t know what is!
Jon Blevins cohosts to give an update from inside Exodus90 & the guys talk about spiritual dry spells, how to deal with them and ultimately get out. Joel Stepanek rejoins the show to give some clarity on humility.
Taylor and Fr. Anthony discuss the Super Bowl, ad orientum Mass and things Taylor should have known about the liturgy but didn’t. Our guest is David Bates: owner of great British accent, love of CS Lewis and fancy words that Taylor learns.
Shaun McAfee cohosts as the guys talk about how there is sooo much more to our relationship with God than we often think. They also discuss the joys of Fatherhood with the help of Pokemon, Ariana Grande & the founder of Stay Close to Christ.
Fr. Anthony co-hosts quite possibly the funniest episode to date. Taylor shares follow up to his public take on #Exodus90, how the audience tricked Taylor into being a better person and Fr. Anthony argues that we should blow up the moon.
Taylor forgot to pray for you, Allison Sullivan teaches him how to pray better, Mary Bielski talks authenticity and Rocco needs some healing.
Bearded Blevins is back by popular demand and joins Taylor to discuss #Seek2019 & New Year’s Resolutions. We’re also joined by the founder of Swole Catholic to talk about the link between faith and working out.
We look back at the highlights of 2018, talk about the importance of remembering, talk to Brandon “Be The Symbol” Morel about what the universality of Catholicism practically means AND reveal the Top Ten most downloaded podcast episodes in 2018. Tune in!
You can now listen to the Forte Catholic Podcast on Spotify!

Jeremy McLellan, the comedian currently winning the internet, is our guest this week to make us laugh and so we can find out how he makes such controversial issues hilarious. Allison Sullivan co-hosts as we talk about how we often forget in moments of weakness that God’s love really is unconditional and she falls apart when we answer dumb listener questions.
