William Phelps, author of over 40 true crime books, producer host and consultant on many tv productions, and creator and host of the podcasts Crossing the Line and host of Paper Ghosts, respectively.

We're doing a Forte Flashback this week, highlighting our cohost Kathryn Whitaker's first two appearances on the podcast as a guest. These conversations were the seeds planted that eventually led to her joining us on a monthly basis. Today's show kicks off with her first appearance is person on Ep 256. We were recording in Liv Harrison's house so the three of us shared some things that are anchors or foundations for them as people that keep us strong during even the toughest of times. Then we go alllll the way back to Ep 153. This was back in our radio/podcast days. The title of the episode was "Nightmares Are You Scaring /you" which is still one of my favorite episode titles. We discuss her book "Live Big, Love Bigger: Getting Real with BBQ, Sweet Tea and a Whole Lotta Jesus" which is a title that perfectly captures Kathryn's aura. She shares her story of dealing with loss and pain, how it affected her relationship with Christ and, as a bonus, how to share your faith without being a weirdo. If you like this episode, all of our episodes are available wherever you are listening to this. Check out our backlog if you've joined us at some point in the last eight years!

She shares about that experience she shared with her son & discusses Christian art in the public sphere. Allison also wrote a new talk for Advent and shares some of the highlights from that. Taylor shares what he has been pondering throughout this season of preparation and Allison is shocked by how insightful it was. Taylor was both hurt & happy with this outcome. Finally, they end the show sharing their differing opinions on Matt Rife's new special. He has been called to be "cancelled" over some of his jokes. Allison agrees, Taylor thinks it might be taking it a bit too far. They talk about where comedy & morality mix & when they clearly don't.

This episode feels important. I recently listened to Dear Alana, the number 1 show on Apple Podcasts, and was gripped by how intimately listeners were let in to the turmoil experienced by many Christians who are gay through the life and death of Alana Chen. Simon K. Fung, creator of Dear Alana, shared Alana's life with careful detail and reverent dignity. Simon has a deep love for the Church which is exactly why he has created this clarion call in Dear Alana for Her to do better by the lonely, hurting, and ostracized.

Allison did her homework from a few episodes ago & took the spiritual gifts assement. Taylor guesses what her results were before she reveals her top 6 gifts that God has given her. It leads to a good conversation about using our gifts to build the kingdom, dusting off some unused gifts and finding our place in the Church community. In the second segment, Taylor talks with Nick Senz who compares some of our Church's greatest saints with NBA legends. It was a fun segment for Taylor because he knows more about NBA stars than saints so we got to hear some great saint stories. Whether you're a fan of the NBA, stories of the saints of both, you'll love this fun conversation. Allison is back for the final segment to ask some of her favorite "21 questions" to keep him on his toes. The questions range from fun to hitting Taylor like a freight train.

Allison led a group of Pilgrims through the steps of St. Paul on a river cruise through Greece. She shares how they visited a ton of sites you've heard about in the Scriptures and reveals whether her thoughts on St. Paul have changed or not. She also shares one of the most wild and random takes we've ever heard on the show that simply floors Taylor. Taylor recounts a story of him hosting trivia and how one group of people ruined it for everyone else.

Aundi is knowledgeable and compassionate, tender and fierce, humble and bold.

Kristin and Jen of I Mom So Hard are the best friend duo that went mega viral, became an internet sensation, and are now best selling authors, podcast hosts, and comedians with a national tour. Over the years they have used their wit and humor to make observations about momming—this thing we love so much but aren't sure isn't going to kill us. Their videos keep us in stitches for pointing out the obvious, calling out the absurd, rebuking the ridiculous, and celebrating the simple wins of motherhood. And as they joke and laugh and bare their vulnerabilities, they are bringing generations of women together to help each other get by. It was all my honor to sit down with them and discover that what you see is what you get. You're going to love them even more than you already do. Have a listen!

We only have one life. Jen Fulwiler, this week's guest, believes in life in abundance. For her that means raising a big family and chasing dreams, God right in the middle, stage directing it all. When it comes to work/ life balance Jen has written her own rules and lived life her own way encouraging women to pursue what calls them. This conversation dives into her conversion from atheism, big family life, and the risk and reward of doing what you love.

In this lively episode with Meg Hunter-Kilmer we cover a lot of ground. From sanctification, sacrifice, counter-cultural living, finding friendship with the Saints, and the beauty and gift of God's Word, Meg shares her wisdom in a way that left me changed. Inspired, motivated, and gently nudged towards holiness, I have a feeling Meg has this effect on many. I forgot every note I had and instead just leaned in to sit at her feet. Don't miss out!

This all stems from a recent video Allison made on TikTok that made waves. Our hosts share their differing approaches to how to deal with hatred online. They also discuss a new initiative at their parish and how it can be used as a good barometer for all of us to focus on spiritual growth in the new year.

Happy New Year! I'm terrible at looking back at the past and seeing all the good things God did in my life. I'm usually focused on the present or working towards building a better future that I forget to be thankful for what has already happened. That is why every year, we do a "State of the Forte" as our first episode of the new year to see all the cool things we experienced together. In today's episode, Taylor looks at the highlights of the show from the past year, counts down our top ten episodes, our top ten moments and shares how the show has grown. We also review the additions to our YouTube channel in 2022 and the rest of the work we did through producing other great Catholic podcasts and our events. Taylor also takes a few moments to address the passing of one of his heroes Pope Benedict XVI and his thoughts on the Damar Hamlin situation from this week's Monday Night Football. We hope you enjoy looking back at the past year with us. Blessings on your new year! Subscribe/Rate Never miss out on the craziness of each episode by hitting the subscribe button RIGHT NOW!
