383: Idiots, Eclipse & Gifts of the Spirit w/ Fr. Anthony Sciarappa
A total eclipse is as rare as an incredible episode of this show. Both happened this week!
Taylor and Fr. Anthony start the show by sharing a few things in their lives/parishes that are going really well, and a few that could use work.
Then, Taylor gets Fr. Anthony ranting about his favorite topic: THE MOON! With the rare eclipse happening this week, Taylor asks our good priest if his thoughts on the moon have changed. (Narrator: They haven't)
Finally, Taylor has an observation from his lived experience that MIGHT contradict some popular theology. He talks through it with Fr. Anthony to see if he's crazy or the other people are!

382: Catholic Speakers, Freestyle Preaching & Foster Care w/ Ryan O'Hara
I've respected Ryan O'Hara from afar for quite some time now so I was thrilled when we connected to be on each other's shows. In this episode, we talk about his podcast "Better Preach" where he chats with speakers on how they hone their craft of sharing the Gospel.
We also put him to the test with our spur of the moment Catholic talk game called "Freestyle Preaching."
To close the show, Ryan shares his story of becoming foster parents, how that process works and what lessons it has taught him.
We hope you enjoy this conversation! If you do, please hit subscribe and also check out Better Preach wherever you enjoy podcasts. https://www.ryanohara.org/betterpreach

381: Holy Week & Why We're Catholic w/ Kathryn Whitaker
Taylor & Kathryn sit down to kick off Holy Week and share their favorite (and least favorite) parts of this special week! They rank the liturgies of the Triduum, explain why they enjoy each one & share what's on their hearts and minds as they head into this week.
They also discuss the very different reasons they both became Catholic but then the oddly similar reasons that they remain Catholic.
We hope you have a blessed Holy Week! We're praying for you. Please pray for us.

380: Anger Management & Catholic Questions w/ Allison Sullivan
Taylor has a laundry list of things currently driving him into fits of rage. Allison does her best to help him through it. As the Lenten season begins to wrap up, join us in our suffering. Misery loves company! They laugh through it and Allison shares her classic fiery preaching skills to guide us through times when anger wells up.
They also soft launch a new segment called Catholic Questions, where they pose random questions about the faith and give zero attempt to answer them. We hope you like it!

379: Comedy of Errors & Eucharistic Questions w/ Fr Anthony Sciarappa
Taylor & Fr. Anthony Sciarappa jump right in to discuss their frustrating and difficult past couple of weeks. Taylor can only laugh as he shares the comedy of errors occuring in his life.
Next, they play a brand new game to try and lighten the mood. The game was stolen from social media and we're not exactly sure how it went. You'll either love it or hate it! lol
Then to close the show, they get into a theological discussion of the accidents and substance of the Eucharist. Taylor thought he knew what all this meant until he thought about it for a while. The more he thought, the more confused he became(typical smh). Fr. Anthony answers his questions and shares his expertise in an attempt to help Taylor (and hopefully you) understand one of the central mysteries of our faith.
