Ordinary Time with Brandon Forschino

In this episode, I sit down with Tony Zeaiter of Fasting Brothers—a powerful lay-led apostolate where men commit to fasting one day a week for an entire year for the intentions of their bishop or priests.Tony shares how this movement is uniting men across the country to spiritually support our clergy through fasting and prayer. From one small group to a growing network of parish-based fasting teams, their mission is bold, simple, and deeply rooted in love for the Church.Ordinary Time, Catholic Podcast exists to spotlight lay Catholics who are living their mission with quiet boldness and eternal impact. We believe the “ordinary” people in the pews are being called to extraordinary things.🎧 Tune in now and be inspired to take your place in the mission field—from wherever you sit in the Church.

In this episode, I had the privilege to sit down with Jeanette Ghioto, Coordinator of Seven Sisters and Fasting Brothers for the Diocese of St. Augustine. "The Seven Sisters Apostolate is a call to strengthen the Church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest or bishop—a “holy wasting” (cf. Mt. 26:10) or lavishing of prayer for his deeper conformity to Christ."Learn more about this amazing lay ministry by visiting https://sevensistersapostolate.org/Connect directly with Jeanette: 904-710-2277 (call or text) or by email, sevensistersstaug@gmail.com
