  • So helpful and wonderful

    Father Mike does an excellent job of explaining the scripture while reading in digestible segments. I really like how he splits some of the harder to read books, like Leviticus, and pairs them with more narrative books such as Exodus in this case. I’m very grateful for all the work that went into this podcast!

  • Morning moments with God

    I love waking up in the morning and listening to this first thing. I enjoy hearing the Gospel and Fr. Mike Schmitz explanations, he’s so clear and insightful. Honestly, I started listening late, but I can’t wait to begin again from the very start next year. This has truly strengthened my faith and helped me feel much more connected to God.

  • The Bible alone is the Word of God

    The book of Maccabees is not in the Bible. Of course the Roman Catholic Church is a Bible unto itself. It claims to be the voice of God. So the title of this podcast “the Bible in a year” is misleading. What he means is “the Roman Catholic tradition and additions to the Bible in a year.”
