A Pastor and a Priest Walked into a Bar is a compelling novel that blends deep theological dialogue with the warmth of an old friendship rekindled.

Rick and Bill were inseparable as children, navigating life in a small Protestant town where Bill’s Catholic faith set him apart. But as they grew, their paths diverged—Rick became a Southern Baptist pastor, while Bill followed his calling into the Catholic priesthood. Years later, their unexpected reunion at a local microbrewery sparks a series of candid, thought-provoking conversations about faith, doctrine, and the meaning of God’s grace.

Over weekly meetings, the two men challenge each other’s beliefs, wrestling with questions of tradition, salvation, and the sacraments—all while rediscovering the bond that once made them brothers. As their discussions deepen, they realize their debates are about more than theology; they are about identity, conviction, and the search for truth in a world that often demands certainty.

With sharp dialogue, heartfelt moments, and a rich exploration of Catholic and Protestant thought, A Pastor and a Priest Walked into a Bar is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand faith beyond denominational lines.
