How many times have I started reading Genesis in January and given up on Leviticus in March? Lots of times. This podcast is the way to “read” the Bible. Listen to Father Mike read in an order that makes sense and presents the Bible as a storyline rather than separate disjointed chapters. Plus, Father Mike explains the confusing parts. I look forward to my 20 minutes a day with Father Mike and the Bible. And, this time, I will make it through the Bible in a year. Not just make it through to make it through. Instead, I will learn about my faith a little more every day. Brilliant idea. Fantastic podcast. Thank you, Father Mike!

Loving the 23 min message every morning when I wake up. Learning immensely and being edified at the same time.

Absolutely amazing.

I am a member of a small Christian denomination that is neither Catholic nor Protestant. We believe that the Word of God is most holy. We are taught to read and meditate on a chapter or two each day, with the purpose of applying the truths and goods we learn there to our everyday lives.
So I am excited to be able to join Father Mike and other listeners as we journey through the expanse of Divine Scripture. Sometimes the Bible is hard for me to comprehend, but often, it helps when I keep on reading, and praying, for God's light and warmth. The Lord's Word is like a rough wooden box, which when opened, contains so many precious stones. Thank you, Father Mike, for encouraging us to keep the Word's lid open so that God's Light and Love can shine out for all.

God's Precious Stones

Committing to the task of reading through the Bible in a year can be daunting. Having a guide, and better yet a Podcast, takes the fear of failing away. I can go at my own pace and finish when I finish. Fr. Mike's narration and reflections are excellent and eye-opening. Thank you.

I've always wanted to do this

Throughout my life I have tried to read the bible and always gave up because I could not interpret the meaning or understand what it was saying. Father Mike has changed all of that. I am so deeply moved when listening to the bible and Father Mike's explanation of what was read each day. It is a fascinating story that has strengthened my faith. I am so grateful I found this.

Wow. Father Mike brings the bible to life for me.

Love Father Schmitz - he reads the Bible well but his insights and analysis are the best. Sometimes I struggle through to get the meaning but he explains it well. As an aside - after I listen I also go back and read it the printed bible so I will get thru the Bible twice in one year- somethings I would not have thought possible. Thank you for this - couldn’t come at a better time with the current breakdown of society

Fantastic
