I discovered Fr. Mike on YouTube years ago. This year I committed to reading and learning about the Bible. I find it fascinating. Great job Fr. Mike
Not a fan, never-the-less, that is on me. However I can not get this podcast out of my library. Nowhere on the website does it help, just robotic answers that have nothing to do with my issue.
This podcast has been a life changing blessing.
Father Mike does a wonderful job reading and explaining scripture. This has been an absolute blessing in my life.
Father, you asked who had downloaded the Bible in a year reading plan. I have visited ascensionpress,com/bibleinayear several times and cannot get it. I would love to be able to follow along but I can’t so I read along as you read each day. I had been such a blessing to me. Thank you.
