Live from Pittsburgh! Taylor visits Fr. Anthony and they record from the rectory. Taylor suggests seven Catholic things and asks Father whether they are more helpful for evangelization or more of a hinderance. They agree on a few, disagree on other but have good conversations about all. Then, in honor of last year's discussion on the morality of the zombie apocalypse, this year Taylor has a new scenario where we explore the grey area of Catholic morality: being stranded at sea. This is inspired by a true story of men stranded at sea after killer whales attacked their boat and the incredible yet horrifying story of their survival.

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! Subscribe/Rate Never miss out on the craziness of each episode by hitting the subscribe button RIGHT NOW!

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!

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.
