There is much more that can be said about the event. Get baptized and receive the Holy Spirit. Sin messed up our lives and broke our relationship with God.ĥ. God loves you and has a plan for your life.Ģ. Here are the seven things to tell people:ġ. He left us with a seven step blueprint to evangelize, and he said it is one that he uses daily. The world is hurting and people are trying to find meaning in things that will only make the pain worse. This isn’t something that is only for the priest or deacon, but for every baptized Catholic to do. Lastly, Jeff discussed how important it is to share our faith. We were implored to shape our day around the sacred page and prayer. He stated, “There is nothing like a worn-out Bible that testifies to our relationship with God”. Jeff Cavins made a statement that resonated with me. The event taught a love for scripture and how important it should be in our daily lives. As Jeff Cavins said, “A sacraments class with no story is like toast with no butter”.

The background of the four is told in scripture and that is why it is important to have a basic understanding of what is going on. Everyone in attendance learned about scripture and what the Catechism calls the four pillars of the creed, sacraments, life in Christ, and prayer. As I looked at those in attendance I saw teenagers, young adults, middle age, and elderly. The great thing about this event is that it was for everyone, one need not be a bible scholar to attend. I have been studying scripture and theology for the better part of eight years, and I took so much away from the event that has enhanced my understanding of everything that God has done for us. The event provided the opportunity to learn the whole story of the Bible in one day. Under the required reading, are the recommended books that elaborate on the story of salvation history. Cavins created breaks it down, in color coded form, the periods of salvation history, and the books that are required reading to understand the story. Cavins said from the outset that walking into a Catholic church can be intimidating for someone who has never been, and likewise the Bible can be intimidating if we try to read it straight through from Genesis to Revelation. As a former ordained Protestant minister, I always had a deep appreciation for scripture, in fact it was reading the scriptures and the writings of the church fathers about them that drew me to the Catholic Church. The event was sold out, and I was able to learn about the Bible with 700 of my closest friends from one of the world’s greatest Bible teachers.Ī book can be written about all of the information that was presented, but I will simply say that the event left me with a deeper appreciation for scripture. The event was help in the auditorium at Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, CA. On September 28, I had the great honor of attending The Great Adventure Bible in A Day event presented by Jeff Cavins.
