Dave and Mike discuss what may have caused this, and also dig into the nuance of the Church's teachings on the presence of Christ in Eucharist.

Dr. Michael Sirilla shares his story of conversion, from a hippy lifestyle with the Grateful Dead and eastern new-age religious practices to freedom in Christ, and how this propelled him to begin studying theology. Dave and Mike then discuss how theology became derailed in the past century as it was divorced from evangelization.
