Summary

Did you know Jesus was a priest? How about Adam? If that's a surprise to you, then pull up a barstool with Scripture scholar Dr. John Bergsma and me for a conversation that will blow your mind. You'll learn about how the Catholic priesthood goes back to the Old Testament, starting all the way back in the Garden of Eden! We also talk about how Christ acts as a priest during the Last Supper and how each of us shares in Christ's priesthood today. Grab a drink with us (I've got coffee) and let's dive in!
