In this episode of A Reason for Hope, Dr. David Hajduk sits down with Fr. Gregory Pine, OP, author of Your Eucharistic Identity, to explore the deep connection between our identity and the Eucharist. What does it mean to live with a Eucharistic identity? How can we discover who we truly are in Christ through the sacraments? And why does our culture face such a profound identity crisis today?

Together, we unpack how the Eucharist shapes our personal identity, strengthens our faith, and offers clarity in a world filled with confusion about self-worth, gender, and purpose. Whether you’re Catholic seeking to deepen your devotion, or someone curious about the richness of the Catholic faith, this conversation will help you rediscover the source of life and the fullness of who you are in Christ.

👉 Topics we cover in this episode:

• What it means to have a Eucharistic identity
• The inspiration behind Your Eucharistic Identity
• How the sacraments reveal our identity in Christ
• Why today’s culture struggles with questions of identity
• How to live more fully through the Eucharist
