"Chris Cavalier's lectures are enlightening and revelatory.  His recent three-part series on the Eucharist gave me a much deeper understanding of Christ's presence in both the Old and New Testaments.  One of the most important aspects of Christopher's teachings is his humility.  He does not focus on himself or his vast knowledge of Scripture, but rather on promoting a clearer insight to what it truly means to be a follower of Christ.  I highly recommend taking time to view the videos entitled The Eucharist - What Most Christians Don't Know.  I think you will feel powerfully inspired--and blessed."

- Spencer Christian, Broadcaster, Good Morning America (1986-1998), San Francisco, CA

“Chris works extremely hard in his study, research and preparation and is very crystal clear and understandable in his delivery. Chris’ passion is not to teach to present information but to present transformational truth.  In other words, his passion is to encourage life change that comes from devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. Chris’ teaching inspires service and devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ.  I very highly recommend Chris, as he will be a blessing to you and your church!”

- Pastor Frank Ingram, Grace Fellowship, West Palm Beach, Florida

“I have known Chris for over 15 years.  Unbeknown to Chris, he has been my spiritual guide since I met him.  I have witnessed his faith and wisdom grow through the Holy Spirit over the years along with his increased devotion to strengthening the faith of other Christians.  Chris has strengthened my love of Christ and belief in the true power of God.  These have been the cornerstone of my peace of mind and desire to pay the gift of the spirit of Christ forward.  I love you Chris.”

- Alfred Igbodipe, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Memphis TN

“I am from the Dominican Republic and I have been an evangelical Christian all my life.  Until now, I had never participated in a study on the Eucharist.  I have been friends with Christopher for several years and we have talked about many topics and for me it was a great blessing to have participated in the studies on the Eucharist, to see how Christ is present both in the New Testament and in the Old Testament.  I liked each point very much, but what I liked the most is that Christopher did not try to force us to believe what he thinks but he just showed us his experience of what he had studied.  I invite you to take a moment and watch the videos entitled ‘The Eucharist - What Most Christians Don’t Know’ as I am sure you will learn many things.”

— Miguel Angel Deriso, Iglesia Cruzada Evangelistica Misionera Mundia, Dominican Republic

“Chris and I have been friends and brothers in Christ for over 20 years. His passion for the gospel and humility in Christ has always been an inspiration to me. His 3 part lecture series on the Eucharist gave me a whole new perspective on the power it affords us in our union with Christ. Chris is truly out on mission demonstrating the Imago Dei in his love and devotion to Christ and his people. He has also inspired me to go out and love others through my gifts in peace, compassion, mercy, and perseverance in faith.”

— M. Sinclair Thompson, San Ramon, California

“Chris’s conferences on the Holy Eucharist have been a blessing — giving me a much deeper appreciation of this fundamental aspect of my Catholic faith. I grew up in Venezuela, which is an overwhelmingly Catholic but because it is a social expectation, not necessarily out of deep religious feeling or knowledge. Reading the Bible, for example, was never part of my growing up.  That is why I’ve gotten so much out of Chris’s talks.  He opens up the Bible — and shows how it teaches us directly about the Mass — and allows a much deeper understanding of what God has done for us.  I recommend Chris to anyone who wants a deeper, truer relationship with Jesus.”

— Mariana Lopez de Quintanilla, Star of the Sea Church, San Francisco, California

“I have known Chris for about seven years, although it feels like much longer. His passion for Christ and for a deeper understanding of the principles and values that Christ exhibited are unparalleled by anyone else in my life. He has been an amazing example of steadfast pursuit of truth and knowledge of biblical tenets that we should all be living by.”

- Todd Galde, Community Presbyterian Church, Danville, California

“Powerful, in-depth teaching.”

- Andy Castellanos (A Man of Few Words), Mary Help the Christians Church, Parkland, FL

“I have known Chris for many years, and I believe that he has found a true vocation in helping fellow Christians on their way to Christ.  Protestant Christians who are curious about Catholicism will find his talks especially helpful because Chris is steeped in a tradition of fidelity to Scripture that resonates naturally with them. At the same time, he helps dispel the mistaken view that Catholicism is not a Biblical faith, showing instead that the central teachings of Catholic Christianity have powerful support in the inerrant word of God.  At a minimum, Chris’s observations will provide food for thought and help build bridges of mutual understanding and charity among all members of God’s family.”

Marcus Salvato Quintanilla, Star of the Sea Church, San Francisco, California

 

Chris is a regular speaker at St. Joan of Arc Parish in San Ramon, CA.

Below are testimonials from members of the parish:

“Pontius Pilate’s famous question ‘What is truth?’ provokes thoughtful consideration.  On many levels, it is best answered by informed teaching.  For example, Chris Cavalier’s Eucharist series provided new perspectives into truth for the faithful curious.  He provided deeper insight into this incredible gift from Heaven with unusual scholarship and insight.  It resonated with commonly understood concepts, but plowed much newer ground as well, revealing an uncommon depth of inquiry and understanding in the presentation.  The audience’s preconceptions were greatly expanded and challenged over a series of three powerful presentations, leaving participants with a renewed sense of wonder…  that “God so loved the world.”  Our parish is much the richer for having such a dedicated scholar and teacher as Chris. All of that and a sense of humor as well!”

- Michael Riley

“I have been a Catholic since childhood but Chris brought forth many explanations of scripture and of the Eucharist that expanded my knowledge. It broadened my whole view of the Bible and of the Eucharist itself.  I was so intrigued by Chris' vast knowledge of the meaning of the Eucharist and of the Bible that I made sure to listen in on his next two sessions. Chris is a captivating Teacher and gives references and credit to the Philosophers and Theologians that he quotes during his talks.  Chris has inspired me with his passion for Christ and for his faith to look into furthering my own knowledge of scripture. I look forward to future talks from Chris who teaches with humor, passion and intellect.”

- Alicia Garces

“My wife and I met Chris quite recently while participating with a ZOOM group of St. Joan of Arc Parish in a series of daily Novenas for the Corona Virus victims.  We also viewed his recent in-depth series of 3+ presentations on "The Eucharist".  "The Eucharist" was very informative and inspiring to watch.   He presented the scriptures with love, joy, humor and personal insight.  He exuded positivity and inspiration while discussing "The Key" principle in the doctrine of the Catholic Church, The Eucharist.  It was presented so that a wide range of listeners could understand. Since my wife and I are at opposite ends of the Catholic spectrum; (I am a member of the current R.C.I.A. group and my wife is a life-long Catholic), it was amazing to us that Chris has been able to reach us both in a clear, concise way.   Between his daily spontaneous contributions on church doctrine with our Novena group and his well-organized presentations on "The Eucharist", we feel that his very thorough study of Theology and his ability to pass the teachings on to others is truly a gift from God.  We sincerely believe that Chris is meant to share his wonderful gift with MANY.”

— Doug and Kay Collins

“In my very early years, my family and I were what some people refer to as ‘CEO’ (Christmas and Easter Only) Christians.  Later, my Father began bringing me to Mass more regularly and also began signing me up for additional programs at my parish. However, there was one thing missing that I didn’t even know I needed.  That was a greater understanding of what REALLY happens at Mass and where we get our knowledge from the Eucharist.  In Chris’s talk, he marvelously explains in easy-to-understand (and sometimes funny) language the beauty that lies in the Eucharist. He explains how Christ pulls everything together.  He talks about how much evidence, which I had absolutely no clue existed, there is in the Old Testament for the Eucharist.  And, amazingly he shares that Christ IS the New Testament.  Once he shared that and the evidence for it from current and past thinkers, my mind was blown!  It made me want the Eucharist even more!”

— Kyle Mackesey

“I greatly thank Chris for offering a class on The Eucharist: What Most Christians Don’t Know.  Chris produces crystal-clear explanations of the Eucharist from the New Testament and the Old Testament.  These three sessions, one and half hours each session help us to appreciate and understand deeply Jesus' real presence in the Eucharist.  Some perplexed Christians have questioned Jesus' real presence in the Eucharist. Chris unveils the insights of the scriptures and leads us to clearly see Jesus' real presence. His unique talent converts the mystery of the Eucharist into easily understandable forms.  Chris is a brilliant theologian and speaker, and I highly recommend this class.”

— Joseph Yu

“Chris is an excellent teacher and has a wonderful way of imparting the tenets of our Catholic faith.  In particular, he has a deep love and devotion for the Eucharist – the true presence of Christ.  In his teachings, Chris has been able to trace the history and prophetic word about this “Bread of Life” and passionately speaks about the relevance and power of the Eucharist.  His presentations have been like a walk through Bible history.”

— Raymond Figueroa

“Chris Cavalier is absolutely an evangelizer; his lectures showcase a kind of rigor and breadth of thought not generally seen in laity. His presentation on the Eucharist was definitely inspired by the Holy Spirit. Chris pulls together the major themes of Catholic Eucharistic theology in an insightful, biblically-informed synthesis. He insists upon the interdependence of the Eucharistic themes of meal and sacrifice, all anchored by a theology of Real Presence delightfully articulated with reference to Scripture, the classical theological tradition, and contemporary theology and philosophy. It is, quite simply, a Holy Spirit inspired series. Chris usually began with a joke, and lightened the atmosphere a few times during his talks with humor. He keeps the audience on side - feeling they are with you, not inferior or feeling talked-down to. Humor is a natural gift that he possesses.”

— Alfonso Boukouzia

“I first met Chris in a bible study class and was immediately impressed with his knowledge of scripture and his devotion to Jesus.  His ability to ask thoughtful questions has enabled me to deepen my faith and to understand scripture and its applications in today’s crazy world.  I am grateful for his talents he shares with our faith community and for the opportunities he has afforded all of us to know and live our faith.”

— Janet Williams


“It has been a blessing for me that Chris is among those that God has placed in my life. What I love and admire most about Chris, more than his humor or his potential as an aspiring theologian, scholar or speaker, is that he is committed to being a true disciple of Jesus. My prayer for him is that, as he strives to fulfill God's plan for him through this site and what it brings, he will grow closer to God each day and that he will bring others into deeper relationship with God along the way.”
