I'm not going to lie, that's the best explanation I've heard of the Catholic perspective of the Eucharist.

I'm nudging you along the spectrum until I can get you to the Catholic view.

Recently, I spoke with Protestant YouTuber Bryce Crawford about Catholicism,

and in today's episode, I'll share with you our discussion about the Eucharist.

And now my discussion on the Eucharist with Bryce Crawford.

Let's go to the Eucharist conversation, because I think this is very fascinating to me.

And the reason that it intrigues me is because I grew up Southern Baptist.

So I grew up communion as a symbol. And something that I

appreciate is God's grace on me for viewing it merely as a symbol. And I did approach it

willy-nilly many times, granted, for the sake of, I just thought it was a symbol, here it is,

take communion once a month, big holidays.

That's it, right?

As I've begun to read, I'm going, I don't think it's just a symbol.

But where I land on the Eucharist theology line is,

I don't believe it's just a symbol, but I have not been

fully convinced of transubstantiation, which for those listening is the idea that the bread is

the literal flesh, the blood is the blood.

We can always work with where you're at. I find a lot of times when people sort through

a lot of these issues, I will be honest in recent years, there's a little bit of a pipeline.

People will often start sort of maybe low church, Baptists like yourself.

Well, actually, there was an academic recently, Matthew Barrett.
