A Resounding Yes!

From the Great Adventure Bible to Hallow: Jeff Cavins on Scripture, the Papacy & Discipleship

Paloma & Fig Season 1 Episode 16

In this episode of A Resounding Yes! podcast, we welcome Jeff Cavins—a dynamic Catholic speaker, author, and Bible teacher known around the world for making Scripture come alive. Jeff has a gift for taking big theological truths and breaking them down into practical steps that touch everyday life.

As the creator of the Great Adventure Bible Study series and author of the best-selling Great Adventure Catholic Bible, Jeff has helped millions of Catholics see the Bible not as a collection of stories, but as one great story of salvation. His teaching—spanning Matthew, Acts, Revelation, Psalms, James, Galatians, and Ephesians—has transformed the way people encounter God’s Word.

But in this conversation, Jeff goes beyond his well-known work. He shares personal stories and insights you may have never heard before—from moments in ministry, family life, and pilgrimage—that shaped his journey of discipleship. Jeff also dives into his thoughts on the recent papacy, offering honest and faith-filled reflections on leadership, discipleship, and what it means for the Church today.

More recently, Jeff has been featured on the Hallow app alongside Jonathan Roumie (Jesus from The Chosen), reaching new audiences with prayer, Scripture, and reflections designed to inspire daily faith.

Jeff has hosted shows such as EWTN’s Life on the Rock and Relevant Radio’s Morning Air, and now reaches thousands weekly through The Jeff Cavins Show podcast. His books, including Walking with God (with Dr. Tim Gray), Praise God and Thank Him, When You Suffer, and The Activated Disciple, offer practical keys for joyful and faithful living. He and his wife Emily also lead pilgrimages to the Holy Land, guiding thousands of pilgrims through the footsteps of Jesus, Mary, and the disciples.

This is an inspiring conversation that blends Scripture, discipleship, Jeff’s personal stories, and his reflections on the Church today.
