Meet Your Host: Jeff Cavins
Jeff Cavins is passionate about helping people understand Scripture and become disciples of Jesus Christ. Though he was born Catholic, Jeff went to Bible school and served as a protestant minister for twelve years before reverting to the Catholic Faith. Jeff then received his MA in Theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville. Since then, he has become a leading Catholic evangelist and author.
Jeff created The Bible Timeline learning system, which revolutionized Catholic Bible Study for millions of Catholics. Since its introduction, Jeff has developed The Great Adventure series of Bible studies to help people better understand Sacred Scripture and its meaning for their lives.
Thank you for that beautiful tribute to your father. You were very blessed and I’m so sorry for your loss. My dad passed away three years ago at 99 from Parkinson’s. Sometimes you don’t realize just how much their lives and the way they lived made you who you are today until after they are gone and you reflect on their lives. I feel blessed to have had my dad for as long as I did and witnessed how beautifully he lived his life. My prayers are for you and your family as you mourn the loss of your father. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.
