Learning a spiritual growth plan from Teenage Jesus, hearing personal growth quips from the great Zig Ziglar & Fr. Anthony eats spicy stuff while trying to answer Bible Trivia and respond to Taylor's hot takes.
We hosted a men's retreat in Southern Louisiana and it was an awesome experience! We share graces & play a hot takes game in a live episode :)
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.
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.
Fr. Anthony & Taylor discuss the premise "real men only compliment each other behind their backs." They play an absolutely wild game of Forte/Mezzo/Piano with flaming hot takes from a rocket scientist. Finally, you've heard the Pange Lingua but have no idea what it means. We're gonna change that.
Jon Blevins cohosts and we find ourselves in the middle of a cancelled Holy Week. We chat about a couple ways we're trying to enter in to the beauty of this week even though we're stuck at home. We’re joined by Lauren Montgomery of the Catholic Commons podcast on this forced Monasticism we find ourselves in(well not Taylor...but whatevs lol).
Allison Sullivan has become a TikTok mom during the quarantine, Taylor is identifying with antagonists in Scripture way too much and Edmund Mitchell shares his internal monologue with us. We hope this brings you joy in the midst of the craziness :)
Taylor and Fr. Anthony have a friend fight. Father tries to explain two terrible sermons and Taylor Tripodi joins the show to discuss surrender…and they all argue about who’s senior prom was worse.
Are we all stuck because of the virus? Yes. Is Forte Catholic going to stop bringing joy to people by Making Catholicism Fun Again? HECK NOOOOO. Liv Harrison cohosts, gives Taylor a massive headache and they argue about which one of them is a better bride.
Allison Sullivan co-hosts and shares in Taylor’s stress. They talk about finding ways to beat stress and Allison wants to fight Taylor and thinks she would win lol. They also talk about the Genius Women’s conference and how Taylor had his first weekend alone with his kids because of it. Theresa Zoe Williams rejoins the show to continue the theme of stress and parenting.
Taylor is still a bit overwhelmed but never fear, Jon “Bearded” Blevins is here to save the show with a laundry list of random takes ranging from the faith, to breakfast choices to marriage to the XFL. This show has something for everyone!
