Episode 11: The Real Presence, Part One (Reload)

nerd out on the greatest thing in the world … Real Presence of
Christ in the Eucharist. According to a recent Pew survey, only 26%

Presence. Then, we go through the Bread of Life Sermon in John 6,
as well as some great quotes from the Church Fathers, like St.
Justin Martyr and St. Ignatius of Antioch. Here’s an article from
my blog if you want the text of a lot of these quotes and deep
dives into the Greek used in the Gospel:
