The Bible in a Year
by Fr. Mike Schmitz
Read the whole Bible. It's the resolution people make and then abandon somewhere around the census lists in Numbers. Ascension's The Bible in a Year podcast is built to get you past that point. Fr. Mike Schmitz, a priest of the Diocese of Duluth, walks listeners through the entire Bible in 365 daily episodes.
Each episode reads the day's passages, then Fr. Mike offers commentary, a reflection and a closing prayer. The plan follows The Great Adventure Bible Timeline created by Jeff Cavins, who appears along the way. So you don't plow from Genesis straight to Revelation. You follow the story in order, with Psalms and Proverbs woven in. Fr. Mike is warm, candid and often funny. When a passage is violent or baffling, he says so plainly, and then he helps you make sense of it.
It suits inquirers who want to know the Bible and can commit to a daily habit, commuters and walkers who would rather listen than read, and OCIA groups that want a shared practice. You can start any day. Miss a few, and just pick up where you left off.
