Homosexuality & Gay Marriage | Catholic Apologetics Series
In part 7 of our Catholic Apologetics series, we share the Church's teaching on Homosexuality & Gay Marriage. The Church is very clear on both of these topics, both giving the theological foundations for her teaching but also guidance to those struggling with same-sex attraction AND how we as the Church should treat those in this community.

This was a very difficult talk for me to give, but I hope that it brings you some truth, hope and inspiration to love your neighbor more. God bless.

Faith & Science | Apologetics Series
In this session, I explore the relationship between faith & science. We discuss how these are two essential components in seeking the truth that don't have to contradict one another. We also explore the Church's relationship with science, some of the greatest Catholic scientists throughout history & how miracles fit into all of this.

A message on the themes of Advent from Allison and some Advent/Christmas Music from Taylor. Enjoy! :)
A message on the themes of Advent from Allison and some Advent/Christmas Music from Taylor.
Advent is a time of waiting and hope and preparing Him room. When we look around and see nothing but stumps, a sprout is coming— a promise of what is to come, a thrill of hope. As we wait, accept, journey and make room, may we know that God came to be with us, is with us now, and is coming again to set all things right. Enjoy! :)
Finding New Life in the Valley of Dry Bones
Recording of a talk Taylor gave on finding new life in times of spiritual dryness through the stories of Creation, the valley of dry bones, a healing story and Pentecost. Let God breath new life in you through this message.
Encouragement and insight for those is a spiritual dryspell
Finding new life in the story of creation, Dry Bones & the Gospels.
This is a talk Taylor gave at St. Jerome's Parish in Waco, Tx. The theme was Arise: Jesus is Lord so we walk together through four stories in the Scriptures about when God's spirit breathed new life into dead spaces: the Creation story, the valley of the dry bones, the Talitha Koum healing story and Pentecost. We hope this talk nourishes you and leads you closer to Christ. Blessings!
Make Catholicism Fun Again!
Making Catholicism Fun Again! Taylor’s session for the Smart Catholics Conference speaking about the Joy of the Gospel.
Making Catholicism Fun Again! My session for the Smart Catholics Conference Taylor Schroll speaks on the Joy of the Gospel
Pope Francis wrote in Joy of the Gospel, “there are many Christians whose lives seem like Lent without Easter.” Too often, as Catholics, we forget that the Gospel message truly is good news! The power of the Resurrection is offered to us by Jesus. The good news should permeate our lives so we can be radiant in joy and share that with the world.
Use this link to get the rest of the conference for half the price! (Just $6!!!) 38 top Catholic speakers for almost 10 hours of great content. Proceeds go to support the work of Forte Catholic. Thanks!
