After a two year hiatus, Bearded Blevins is back on the Forte Catholic Podcast to celebrate the birth of the little baby Jesus!

Jon was one of the OG cohosts of this show and had to bow out when new live endeavors arose. He's back now to share about those endeavors. We also do a draft of characters from the Nativity story in the Bible & rank Christmas foods and movies!

From our whole team at Forte Catholic, we wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

Taylor & Father discuss some of their favorites when it comes to lore: Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and the very silly Yakuza video game franchise. They share how all of these universes with deep lore are very fun to engage with. Taylor also has a confession about the Lore of Christianity.

We hope you enjoy this fun conversation (that made Fr. Anthony think less of Taylor)

Tanner is our guest cohost this week as we get to know him, hear about his journey from acting in LA to Catholic leader & hear about his new book from Ave Maria Press.

I've been working with Tanner behind the scenes on a couple of his podcast projects and we started to get to know each other a bit and found out that we had a lot in common! Tanner shares about his past in college baseball, having a hit movie and his friend Glen(one of the best moments in show history!)

We hope you enjoy this fun and insightful episode. May you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving week!

Fr. Anthony gets off an all-time rant, Taylor ponders changing his stance on burying St. Joseph to sell his house & asks the good priest some confession themed theological questions.

Working in the Church can be difficult. Fr. Anthony is proving that with the week he is currently having! He goes off about how crazy parishioners can be and Taylor just sits there with a stupid big grin on his face.

Then, Taylor gives an update on his house not selling and how it may be time for his to reconsider his previous stance on a popular superstition and/or Catholic practice in order to sell the house more quickly.

Finally, Taylor asks some questions about commiting sins in a Church which leads to some fun thought experiments.

We kick this week's show off with the State of Sciarappa address. Fr. Anthony lets us know how things have been going in his world: including being pastor for a week, lighting heavy things & more! Taylor shares a hot take about homilies that may stir the pot a little bit! It's a topic we all struggle with but often don't talk about.

Then, they introduce a brand new game revolving around scripture memorization. How much do Catholics know about the Bible! We will find out as our two contestants take turn narrating famou Scripture passages while the other has to fill in the blanks. We hope you enjoy this hilarious new game!
