Response to Francis Chan on the Eucharist

Video Description

Francis Chan's famous remarks about the Eucharist in January 2020 reflect a common perspective among Protestants, particularly those considering converting to Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. This video responds to Chan by debunking three common myths about Protestant views of the Eucharist. Truth Unites is a mixture of apologetics and theology, with an irenic focus. Gavin Ortlund (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) serves as senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Ojai.
