This podcast has changed my life. I have picked up the Bible dozens of times and have never been able to read past the beginning. Listening to this podcast has opened my eyes and my heart. I am so grateful 🙏🏻
I must say, when Fr.Mike says," I CANNOT wait to see you tomorrow.." I actually feel so encouraged to join back. The most beautiful thing is the way its like feasting on Rich Catholic understanding of the Holy Bible. Praise God for this!
Born Catholic. Completed all my sacraments. Never missed mass.Married a Catholic. Baptised my children & repeated all the same things. Yet, never read my entire bible. Until this year…. Until Fr Mike set this up. Until God opened my eyes & my heart. So blessed. So so blessed. “Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for always looking out for me. Bless Fr Mike and all YOUR people. Amen.”
Thank you Fr Mike and Jeff for bringing... “Reading The Bible In A Year” podcast to the public. I hope you will continue to keep this podcast going, year after year. There are sooo many people that are seeking Truth and God and have not been able to find it. One day they will find your podcast and hopefully their lives will be changed ♥️
I thank God for Both of you! I was a little behind during the prophets because it depressed me, mainly because I live in Lebanon and things have not been going fine for a while in my country. But the thought that God is Always with us even through pain, made me get back on my feet. Although I feared Jeremiah's Lamentations mainly, I thought: "If Father Mike is doing this everyday, even if he felt depressed or tired or having a bad day, I should be able to do it." And it went like a breeze. So I am now back on track, Praying for all of you & Thanking God Everyday for this amazing Gift. As Fr. Mike says everyday: God Bless!
Hello from California USA. I’m just starting this reading of the Bible. Things in the US are not going well either but I’m sure you face more challenges then we do at this time. My prayers are with with you and may God bless and keep you.
My husband and I have been with you every day since the beginning Day 1. When we have traveled we took our bibles and made time wherever we were. We are praying for you,Fr Mike , Jeff and all of our Bible in a Year family❣️🙏🏻 This really has been a life changer for us❣️🙏🏻❤️🤗Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Fr Mike and Jeff Cavins!! I felt so blessed to see you two pop up here tonight. Thank you for walking me through the Bible. God’s blessings to you both.
Fr. Mike re-presents the radiance of divine charity. May Jesus opens more hearts, lonely and desperate hearts, and rebellious and unruly souls, to receive God's love through His servant, Fr. Mike! Blessings, of course, to all apologists like Jeff whose crucial and providential ministry continues to feed the laity that we need to hear every Sunday from the pulpits.
I started late. I am on day 107. But better late than never. I have read the Bible several times but so much just flew over my head. It's nice to have someone explain things. When you get knowledged in the cultures/traditions/languages/etc it's so much easier to understand. It's nice seeing how things mentioned in the Old Testament are being fulfilled in the New Testament. It's nice seeing how what happens in the Bible are the same things happening to us today.
I am praying a decade of my rosary almost every day for Fr Mike, Jeff Cavins, all the people behind the scene and all of us listening and learning. I pray this while I am walking my 7500 steps.
Thanks Father Mike and Jeff for this amazing work and dedication. I was born in Australia and grew up with Lutheran parents who were missionaries in Papua and new Guinea in the time of WW2. As a child we had guided bible reading every night. We attended Sunday school and had a graded memory course from 5yrs to 15yrs the age of confirmation. Then I became a Catholic to marry my husband and now as a widow still live in my husband's land which is now my land, Mexico! Your Bible in a yr has opened my mind and my eyes so much! Just 4 days behind! Always listen to the bible reading while doing something else however ALWAYS write down the notes for each day. Now on the second notebook. Totally inspiring and I am totally determined to finish in time to do the catechism. Maybe then I will listen to the bible in a yr in Spanish. It was too much to do both on the same day. You have taught me so much and given me so much to talk about! An interesting subject has been that my husband,may he rest in peace, is the only man that I have known biblically speaking. This has many amazed! It's what God commands us to do! Have a blessed day.🙏☺️
I can’t imagine ending this life without having read the Word of God. Contrarily, before BIAY, I couldn’t imagine actually reading the Word of God!!! Fr. Mike’s and Jeff’s efforts have given me the gift of a lifetime. THANK YOU! On January 1, 2022, you’ll find me repeating Day 1; this time less passively. I’ll write down what I’ve read and heard in my heart. I plan to never not be doing BIAY. May God richly bless His faithful sons, Fr. Mike and Jeff- brothers I so love! Pray for one another! 🙏
Thank you Father God for blessing us with Father Mike Schmitz and Jeff Cavins as they continue to take us on this great journey. I’m praying for you, Father Mike, Jeff and the BIY community 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this podcast. I am 82 years old and learning so much. New to Catholic life. Amazing! I understand so much and love the reverence.
This is a powerful journey through Scriptures guided by great and humble teachers. Thank you Fr. Mike for guiding me and others through the Word of God daily. I cannot imagine not reading God’s Word and hearing your voice daily. God bless Fr Mike and Jeff for saying yes to God’s call to evangelize us.
Thank you! I am behind on the Bible in a year and that did discourage me. I stopped for a while, but lately I decided to go on! Thank you for this video Fr. Mike Schmitz and Jeff Cavins, this came just at the right time! Greetings from the Netherlands!
It is such a blessing to read along or listen while walking. I wish we all could come together in one place and celebrate the mass on day 365. I’m praying for the continued success of this program and all in this journey. God bless Fr. Mike and the Ascension team.
I thank God that I found Fr Mike's videos last year and am so happy to be listening to BIAY . I need both so much in my life - it's beyond expressing how I need both. Once again thank you to Fr Mike, Jeff and all involved. God bless you all.
Fr Mike, Jeff and all the team, I am so so grateful for Bible In a Year. It is what I have been searching for for many years. For various reasons I have not been able to read the bible myself, or attend bible classes, but having access to this resource has been such a blessing, and a tremendous joy. To grow in knowledge of the heart of our Father is the most precious gift imaginable. All I want to do is know more and more. I can not thank you enough. I continue to keep the BIAY community in my prayers - you are my family. God bless you all.
I am on day 204 and have not missed a day. It is the way I start my day. It has been such a blessing to participate in the study and be part of this community. I pray every day for you Fr. Mike and all the members of this community. I plan on repeating the study when I finish.
bible in a year batch 2024, where you at? 🙌🙌🙌 still trucking along! 2nd round this year. totally lifechanging! praise Jesus for these two! you called me back home in 2022! 💜💜💜
I'll be there, along with all the journeyers of 'The Bible in a Year' podcasts. Thanks also, and God bless to Fr. Mike and Jeff and to all the Community who journey with 'The Bible in a Year' podcasts. From a journeyer from, near Liverpool, in the UK. Thanks be to GOD
This is my first bible study ever. I actually started listening to it in May. And was listening to 5 or 6 episodes a day to get caught up. I finally got back on track in late July I think. I have found that some days are really rough and hard to listen to. Some days are really great. I still have no clue what God's plan is for me.
I have decided I will listen to the Bible in a Year again in 2022. Hopefully the more I listen the deeper my understanding and the more aware I am of the direction my life needs to take, being more aware of thoughts and actions which are of God and those which are not. I am so grateful for all of the hard work it is taking to produce this series. It has been a tool of strength during a very difficult time. And Father I will continue to pray for you, please pray for me!
I started in late Spring/Early summer & often do 2 episodes, I'm on my own time & I know I'll read the whole Bible. I also have thought of doing it again, more learning & integration & blessings.
Thank-you fr. Mike, I'm so grateful for what you are doing. I'm from Italy, I discovered BIAY on March, since then I have been following the podcast every day. Beautiful spiritual exercise. God bless you
Thank you so much Jeff and Father Mike. I hope this program will always be available for us to go through again. I did it last year on my own, but dropped out and didn’t finish. I am doing it again this year with a couple of major differences that are helping me. I have invited my Baptist husband to do it with me and I set daily reminders through Alexa! I have a noon reminder and a 7:00pm reminder and this has kept us accountable! When I tried last year, I would forget and then try to listen to a week or more at a time which was not enjoyable. I seemed to be just going through it to get it done. Now we have never been behind more than one day. We discuss what we have learned and see how reading the Bible on our own did not lead to understanding. I want to do the Bible in a year all over again each year (like my AA sponsor has me do the 12 Steps over again each year). I have shared your program with my Protestant friends who are also learning so much! God bless you both.❤️
Absolutely love BIAY!! There have been a few moments of unexplainable sadness that there will be a final official day. I love when Father Mike ends with I cannot wait to see you tomorrow! THANKS Jeff, Father Mike, Team and fellow listeners!❤️🙏🏻
Thank you Fr. Mike & Jeff Cavins for having put together this Bible-in- a-Year. This podcast has been one of the highlights of my year. I am looking forward to the Catechism-in-a-Year starting on January 1, 2023. Thank you again!
Thank you Fr. Mike. I love listening to you read the Bible and your Reflections pull it all together and make also make it relevant to me in today's world.💕
The BIAY is truly a gift of God to our Community here in Toronto. It is absolutely a gift to discover the face of God through this program. Thank you Fr. Mike. You have become a part of our prayers daily before the Blessed Sacrament. Sr. M. Natalie
We gotta give Mr Cavins our thanks for the work he's done in delivering this reading plan and his commentary. Come on, how many times have you seen the psalms and proverbs line up with the daily readings?! Mind blowing. Thank you Jeff!
Please pray for these good men . The enemy is dying to destroy their powerful ministry . He is trying hard to do so every minute of every day . In these dark days , this ministry is a ray of hope and the enemy despises that . Pray , pray , pray for these men of God . Please 🙏
Sometimes it's hard going when one is physically and mentally tired and you have to skip days at a time. So nice though to start back again and feel nourished by the word of God. So happy and blessed to be on this spiritual journey with my fellow pilgrims.
Thank you Father Mike & Jeff for doing this podcast Bible in a Year. As a Catholic, we were told when I was younger, that we can’t read the Bible because we cannot interpret it or understand it correctly. So I really appreciate this opportunity to read the Bible with you & learn the word of God.
This is where I am with Father Mike and I can’t wait to see him when I start all over again!! Man oh man, this is incredible and bringing the Bible to life for me - as I am going through a rough time in life! God bless you, Father Mike Schmitz!! ✝️🙏❤️
I listen every day and look forward to the podcasts. Thank you Fr. Mike, you have brought the Bible to life for me. God bless you. I also pray for you that you may continue to spread the word of God.
Hi Father Mike, I am 62 years old and have been struggling to read the Bible. This Bible in a year podcast has successfully made me read and grow spiritually. I feel so blessed that I convinced my 2 sisters, my niece, my 2 friends who are also convincing others to go with this. I thank the Lord for you showing me the way to the Lord, Fr. Mike.
Thank you Fr. Mike and Jeff Cavins.. I want to start all over again when we finish the first time around. Being a senior I can’t remember everything. I purchased the workbook but left it in Florida and am presently in New York. But I have a few notes on the back of pads and notebooks. Yes it is very good to write thoughts down. God bless and protect you both! Viva Christo Rey!🙏✝️❤️🕊⛪️💟😇🇺🇸
I am forever grateful for this podcast. This podcast is the answer to my desire to study the bible. If it wasn't for the prayer of the community, I would not be able to reach this far. I certainly have those down spiraling days that made me want to just give up, but every time I deny myself and listened to it anyways, I feel more peaceful and grateful. I went looking for Fr. Mike's email online because I really want to say thank you, and here I am! I hope you're reading this, Fr. Mike. Thank you, you made me love Jesus, love God, love Mother Mary, more every day. This podcast change my life! Greetings from Indonesia!
I’m so glad that a friend recommended me to Bible in a Year. The further I got though, and I’m on day 475 tonight, the more I feel like ’m not worthy of going to heaven and there’s little hope fir me. I’m a sinner plain and simple. I’m human. I learned we must be perfect. I’m sure I’m reading the wrong books, watching the wrong shows, hanging around the wrong people, etc,. Up to this point, I always thought I was a good person, The truth is, God doesn’t care if you’re a good person. He cares that you follow all his commands, ordnance’s, rules. I can only keep trying and listening. I’m going to start over when I’m done listening. Like Jeff said and highlight passages that really speak to me in my Bible. Well, we’ll just keep pressing play and pray. Praying for you Fr. Mike, keep praying for us.
I'm learning so much 🥰 You are both a blessing & we are all blessed listening to God's Word 💗✝️🕊 I'm months behind because life crises & parenting 😮 I believe we are all where we are supposed to be & God speaks to us st the right moment 💗🙏✝️👼🏻 God Bless everyone struggling & striving to live the Gospel 👼🏻💗✝️
I’m so happy that I embarked in this journey….All of you that need help please be faithful, remember “Thy Will Be Done” God bless you all from Douglas, Az.
Thank you fr mike and jeff cavins for bible in a year, so grateful ,enjoying it so much, following you from melbourne ,australia, did not miss one day,day 267 ,have learn so much about the prophets and the word of God, i will do it again next year. God bless you both, praying for you and each other as we listen to the word of God.
God Bless you both! I sometimes can’t believe it, listening, reading and journaling the entire Bible for the first time, all the way through! Sometimes makes me a little teary. Thank you God🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank you darling Fr. Mike you help me to understand with passion, (make me laugh and Heaven knows this year it’s been so needed) and I keep coming back day after day, hearing God’s word. Thank you Jeff! I appreciate your explanations so much! As an aside, I bet the 2 thumbs down were not for you two Holy men, but for the moving background in the video (made me seasick,sorry!! 🤢) 🙏🏻🕊✝️💗
Thank you Fr Mike and Jeff. I've read the Bible by myself x 7 in the past, but very shallow compared to this experience. Yes the prophets are challenging, but many great moments, so we keep going. I'm 2 weeks behind due to vacation, but the messages are right on time so I am at peace with where I'm at. I pray for you and our BIAY community every day ❤️🙏🏻
I started BIAY in summer of 2021. Today I completed Day 223...so I am almost a full year behind. I definitely needed these words of encouragement as I read through the end of Isiah today. This is an amazing journey and I'm so glad that the podcasts and Fr. Jim's commentaries from last year are still accessible on the web. I often think of how difficult it must be for Fr. Mike to have produced, not only the daily readings but the commentaries as well. Thank you to all in this community for all that you do!
I am so grateful for Bible in a Year… I have not missed one day. It’s the first thing I start my day with on Apple podcast. I’m going to miss it next year … maybe it wi continue? There have been passages that have brought me to tears and struck me personally I am grateful for this every day. Thank you 🙏
I wonder if the podcast will still be available after the end of the year? The Bible and notebook and accessories would be a wonderful gift to encourage family or friends to start listening.
Yay for this video... miss seeing Jeff and yourself, Fr Mike.. 🥰. 🍻 to the last 98 days until we finish this series/podcast! 🍻 Am listening all the way as far as 🇲🇾, with ❤.
I’ve said this before but it bears repeating. I spent 4 years at Bible College in intense study, parsing verses, memorizing, taking exams, writing papers,, etc… but this series is presenting me with so many new insights, and even better, drawing me nearer to the heart of the Father again after many years. The Word of God is a.deep treasure and we are the treasure hunters. Thank you Fr. Mike, Jeff Cavins, and all the support staff behind the scenes. BTW, I have saved so many of these videos on my FAVs or Shareworthy playlist, that it may as well be the entire series. 😃 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️😃
Thank you and may God bless you both, Fr. Mike and Jeff! So good to "see" you, not just "hear" you! What a wonderful year this is, all because of BIAY! Pray for me, as I will pray for you and all of the BIAY community!
These two are Heaven-sent to humanity. So grateful to you both and the rest of the people behind this wonderful podcast. Been trying to read the Bible since I was a kid but never pass chapter 'til I finished College. Just so hard for me to comprehend! God Bless us all & May all of us will see in Heaven, chillin' with our Dearest/Merciful Jesus Christ!
Thank you so much Fr Mike and Jeff Cavins BIAY has totally transformed my life in so many ways beyond recognition and expectations. My Faith is so much stronger and it only inspired me to Discernment with the Carmelite Order. I am so thankful you both and Ascension Presents created this wonderful opportunity and thank you is never enough. I will always pray for you all and for everyone taking this journey together. My heart and life is so touched that I look forward to all it leads to in my life. You are both such a blessing, I pray it may lead to other such opportunities in the future. We can lift and encourage one another through Our Lord and Saviour. God Bless you and thank you. I pray for you all, until tomorrow 🙏
I love this podcast. For so long I wanted to read the Bible but kept putting it off. Than Fr Mike made this wonderful podcast. I was on day 235 when COVID hit me and I ended up in hospital. Looking forward to getting back into my routine and listening again. God Bless you Father Mike.
My Pastor, Father Dan Hyman and I are both on our second year of Bible in a year and many member of our Council of Catholic Women are also listening too. Thank You.
BIAY is a wonderful gift. I've found the Bible so difficult to read/understand, and never thought I would end up reading more than the Gospels (a trauma in and of themselves). Yet a priest reading it aloud and explaining it has brought it to life for me in a way I never thought possible. Apart from a few tough things like Numbers and stuff like that which (I must admit) are going in one ear and out the next without pause. 🥴
This is my second time around with BIAY with Fr. Mike and Jeff. I continue to receive abundant gifts. In fact, having read the Bible with Fr. Mike once allows me to now focus more on the messages than on the letters and words. Quoting Fr. Mike: “What a gift!”
Father Mike you are great…l use the same catholic bible as you l read everyday you reading and explaining is so helpful I’m on day 178 l love it. Thank you
Cannot thank you both enough, Father Schmitz and Jeff! May God be praised and may He abundantly bless the wonderful work you are doing! Praying for you and your ministry!🙏🙏
Once I began this bible in a year, I would never stop because it is a promise to the Lord. I fully intend to go to the end.
This podcast has changed my life. I have picked up the Bible dozens of times and have never been able to read past the beginning. Listening to this podcast has opened my eyes and my heart. I am so grateful 🙏🏻
Love. Bible in a year .
I must say, when Fr.Mike says," I CANNOT wait to see you tomorrow.." I actually feel so encouraged to join back.
The most beautiful thing is the way its like feasting on Rich Catholic understanding of the Holy Bible.
Praise God for this!
Born Catholic. Completed all my sacraments. Never missed mass.Married a Catholic. Baptised my children & repeated all the same things. Yet, never read my entire bible.
Until this year….
Until Fr Mike set this up.
Until God opened my eyes & my heart.
So blessed. So so blessed.
“Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for always looking out for me. Bless Fr Mike and all YOUR people. Amen.”
When Fr Mike says, “i cannot wait to see you tomorrow “ every day, I really believe him! 😁
Totally ❤
I could not have made it this far without Fr Mike. He did most of the work reading and commenting and encouraging us! Thank you!
Thank you Fr Mike and Jeff for bringing... “Reading The Bible In A Year” podcast to the public. I hope you will continue to keep this podcast going, year after year. There are sooo many people that are seeking Truth and God and have not been able to find it. One day they will find your podcast and hopefully their lives will be changed ♥️
I think I’m gonna cry my eyes out on the last day. This is part of my morning. It doesn’t feel right until I sit down with my bible and Fr. Mike.
I thank God for Both of you! I was a little behind during the prophets because it depressed me, mainly because I live in Lebanon and things have not been going fine for a while in my country. But the thought that God is Always with us even through pain, made me get back on my feet. Although I feared Jeremiah's Lamentations mainly, I thought: "If Father Mike is doing this everyday, even if he felt depressed or tired or having a bad day, I should be able to do it." And it went like a breeze. So I am now back on track, Praying for all of you & Thanking God Everyday for this amazing Gift. As Fr. Mike says everyday: God Bless!
Hello from California USA. I’m just starting this reading of the Bible. Things in the US are not going well either but I’m sure you face more challenges then we do at this time. My prayers are with with you and may God bless and keep you.
Who would thumbs down this? Thankful for a quality Bible in a year program.
Currently at day 57, not my first time reading the Bible, but ft. Mike comments are amazing. Thank you and praise the Lord! :D
also, just to add: greetings from Croatia! :D
I am on day 72! Years ago I worked with a lady who had just come to the US with her family from Croatia. One of the best bread baker I have ever met!
My husband and I have been with you every day since the beginning Day 1. When we have traveled we took our bibles and made time wherever we were. We are praying for you,Fr Mike , Jeff and all of our Bible in a Year family❣️🙏🏻 This really has been a life changer for us❣️🙏🏻❤️🤗Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Never give up, Never Surrender... Unless it's to Jesus!🤣
Fr Mike and Jeff Cavins!! I felt so blessed to see you two pop up here tonight. Thank you for walking me through the Bible. God’s blessings to you both.
Indeed! It is great to see them in "person". I usually just "listen" to the podcasts, so this is a real treat!
Fr. Mike re-presents the radiance of divine charity. May Jesus opens more hearts, lonely and desperate hearts, and rebellious and unruly souls, to receive God's love through His servant, Fr. Mike!
Blessings, of course, to all apologists like Jeff whose crucial and providential ministry continues to feed the laity that we need to hear every Sunday from the pulpits.
Jeff, your comment of faith comes from hearing is so right, God’s words have tremendous power
I started late. I am on day 107. But better late than never. I have read the Bible several times but so much just flew over my head. It's nice to have someone explain things. When you get knowledged in the cultures/traditions/languages/etc it's so much easier to understand. It's nice seeing how things mentioned in the Old Testament are being fulfilled in the New Testament. It's nice seeing how what happens in the Bible are the same things happening to us today.
I am thinking ahead to January after it’s finished. I’d like to dive deeper after that. Bible in a year - part 2 - deeper meditations???
That's where the individual Bible studies come in. check out the ones available through ascension.
I am praying a decade of my rosary almost every day for Fr Mike, Jeff Cavins, all the people behind the scene and all of us listening and learning. I pray this while I am walking my 7500 steps.
Thanks Father Mike and Jeff for this amazing work and dedication.
I was born in Australia and grew up with Lutheran parents who were missionaries in Papua and new Guinea in the time of WW2.
As a child we had guided bible reading every night.
We attended Sunday school and had a graded memory course from 5yrs to 15yrs the age of confirmation.
Then I became a Catholic to marry my husband and now as a widow still live in my husband's land which is now my land, Mexico!
Your Bible in a yr has opened my mind and my eyes so much!
Just 4 days behind!
Always listen to the bible reading while doing something else however ALWAYS write down the notes for each day. Now on the second notebook.
Totally inspiring and I am totally determined to finish in time to do the catechism.
Maybe then I will listen to the bible in a yr in Spanish.
It was too much to do both on the same day.
You have taught me so much and given me so much to talk about!
An interesting subject has been that my husband,may he rest in peace, is the only man that I have known biblically speaking. This has many amazed! It's what God commands us to do!
Have a blessed day.🙏☺️
I can’t imagine ending this life without having read the Word of God. Contrarily, before BIAY, I couldn’t imagine actually reading the Word of God!!! Fr. Mike’s and Jeff’s efforts have given me the gift of a lifetime. THANK YOU!
On January 1, 2022, you’ll find me repeating Day 1; this time less passively. I’ll write down what I’ve read and heard in my heart. I plan to never not be doing BIAY.
May God richly bless His faithful sons, Fr. Mike and Jeff- brothers I so love!
Pray for one another! 🙏
I will definitely be listening again and really taking notes. I have gotten so much out of it, but I know I missed a lot too!
Thank you Father God for blessing us with Father Mike Schmitz and Jeff Cavins as they continue to take us on this great journey. I’m praying for you, Father Mike, Jeff and the BIY community 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I cannot believe I am so close to finishing the entire Bible! Thank you Fr. Mike, Jeff Cavins and the Bible in a Year community.
Thank you so much for this podcast. I am 82 years old and learning so much. New to Catholic life. Amazing! I understand so much and love the reverence.
i pray for you both every day. and the whole biay group. there is no "behind".
THANK YOU FATHER MIKE AND ALL OF THE BIAY COMMUNITY AND ALL THE GOOD WILLED PEOPLE LISTENING!! GOD BLESS!
This is a powerful journey through Scriptures guided by great and humble teachers. Thank you Fr. Mike for guiding me and others through the Word of God daily.

You're a blessing. May God continue to bless you!

I am on day 267. 🙌🏽
Am speechless but praise be to God Almighty,and prayers to fr.mike God bless you.
I’m on Day 108. I don’t ever think, I’m behind. I’m afraid of the day I’ll be finished, just like a great book, I don’t want it to ever end.
We can do it a second time!
I'll be there, along with all the journeyers of 'The Bible in a Year' podcasts. Thanks also, and God bless to Fr. Mike and Jeff and to all the Community who journey with 'The Bible in a Year' podcasts. From a journeyer from, near Liverpool, in the UK. Thanks be to GOD
I often listen while I eat my meals. Thank you and praise God for all His benefits and blessings! God bless us everyone!
Thank you both! Beyond blessed with BIAY every single day! I’m praying for you both, please pray for me!
"Like" isn't strong enough of a feeling to say how much I appreciated this "bonus" episode!
This is my first bible study ever. I actually started listening to it in May. And was listening to 5 or 6 episodes a day to get caught up. I finally got back on track in late July I think. I have found that some days are really rough and hard to listen to. Some days are really great. I still have no clue what God's plan is for me.

I started in late Spring/Early summer & often do 2 episodes, I'm on my own time & I know I'll read the whole Bible. I also have thought of doing it again, more learning & integration & blessings.
Fr Mike and Jeff, this podcast is such a blessing for me and many others.
Thank-you fr. Mike, I'm so grateful for what you are doing.
I'm from Italy, I discovered BIAY on March, since then I have been following the podcast every day.
Beautiful spiritual exercise.
God bless you
Thank you so much Jeff and Father Mike. I hope this program will always be available for us to go through again. I did it last year on my own, but dropped out and didn’t finish. I am doing it again this year with a couple of major differences that are helping me. I have invited my Baptist husband to do it with me and I set daily reminders through Alexa! I have a noon reminder and a 7:00pm reminder and this has kept us accountable! When I tried last year, I would forget and then try to listen to a week or more at a time which was not enjoyable. I seemed to be just going through it to get it done. Now we have never been behind more than one day. We discuss what we have learned and see how reading the Bible on our own did not lead to understanding. I want to do the Bible in a year all over again each year (like my AA sponsor has me do the 12 Steps over again each year). I have shared your program with my Protestant friends who are also learning so much! God bless you both.❤️
Your enthusiasm is such a blessing to everyone. thank you so much Father Mike!!!!!!
Absolutely love BIAY!! There have been a few moments of unexplainable sadness that there will be a final official day. I love when Father Mike ends with I cannot wait to see you tomorrow! THANKS Jeff, Father Mike, Team and fellow listeners!❤️🙏🏻
I feel the same Kelley! I have decided to just begin again, God Bless🙏🏻☺️🕊💗
I feel the same! BIAY has become such an anchor in my life. God bless🙏💛
Agreed. This has been such a blessing in my life. Thank you Father Mike and Mr Cavins for allowing God to move through you to us!
Thank you Fr. Mike & Jeff Cavins for having put together this Bible-in- a-Year. This podcast has been one of the highlights of my year. I am looking forward to the Catechism-in-a-Year starting on January 1, 2023. Thank you again!
Thank you Fr. Mike. I love listening to you read the Bible and your Reflections pull it all together and make also make it relevant to me in today's world.💕
The BIAY is truly a gift of God to our Community here in Toronto. It is absolutely a gift to discover the face of God through this program. Thank you Fr. Mike. You have become a part of our prayers daily before the Blessed Sacrament. Sr. M. Natalie
I am from Philippines and this habit gives me a daily boost as I start my day. My uncle introduced this to me and I am grateful
We gotta give Mr Cavins our thanks for the work he's done in delivering this reading plan and his commentary. Come on, how many times have you seen the psalms and proverbs line up with the daily readings?! Mind blowing. Thank you Jeff!
Please pray for these good men . The enemy is dying to destroy their powerful ministry . He is trying hard to do so every minute of every day . In these dark days , this ministry is a ray of hope and the enemy despises that .
Pray , pray , pray for these men of God .
Please 🙏
This is my second time around with this study. It’s the best things that’s ever happened to me. It has been life changing.
Sometimes it's hard going when one is physically and mentally tired and you have to skip days at a time. So nice though to start back again and feel nourished by the word of God. So happy and blessed to be on this spiritual journey with my fellow pilgrims.
Thank you Father Mike & Jeff for doing this podcast Bible in a Year. As a Catholic, we were told when I was younger, that we can’t read the Bible because we cannot interpret it or understand it correctly. So I really appreciate this opportunity to read the Bible with you & learn the word of God.
BIAY has changed my life. I Will do IT again. IT has been incorporated in my daily activities.
This is where I am with Father Mike and I can’t wait to see him when I start all over again!! Man oh man, this is incredible and bringing the Bible to life for me - as I am going through a rough time in life! God bless you, Father Mike Schmitz!! ✝️🙏❤️
I listen every day and look forward to the podcasts. Thank you Fr. Mike, you have brought the Bible to life for me. God bless you. I also pray for you that you may continue to spread the word of God.
I started on 1st January 2023, I'm currently on day 266.

Hi Father Mike, I am 62 years old and have been struggling to read the Bible. This Bible in a year podcast has successfully made me read and grow spiritually. I feel so blessed that I convinced my 2 sisters, my niece, my 2 friends who are also convincing others to go with this. I thank the Lord for you showing me the way to the Lord, Fr. Mike.
Thank you Fr. Mike and Jeff Cavins.. I want to start all over again when we finish the first time around. Being a senior I can’t remember everything. I purchased the workbook but left it in Florida and am presently in New York. But I have a few notes on the back of pads and notebooks. Yes it is very good to write thoughts down. God bless and protect you both! Viva Christo Rey!🙏✝️❤️🕊⛪️💟😇🇺🇸
I am forever grateful for this podcast. This podcast is the answer to my desire to study the bible. If it wasn't for the prayer of the community, I would not be able to reach this far. I certainly have those down spiraling days that made me want to just give up, but every time I deny myself and listened to it anyways, I feel more peaceful and grateful. I went looking for Fr. Mike's email online because I really want to say thank you, and here I am! I hope you're reading this, Fr. Mike. Thank you, you made me love Jesus, love God, love Mother Mary, more every day. This podcast change my life! Greetings from Indonesia!
I’m so glad that a friend recommended me to Bible in a Year. The further I got though, and I’m on day 475 tonight, the more I feel like ’m not worthy of going to heaven and there’s little hope fir me. I’m a sinner plain and simple. I’m human. I learned we must be perfect. I’m sure I’m reading the wrong books, watching the wrong shows, hanging around the wrong people, etc,. Up to this point, I always thought I was a good person, The truth is, God doesn’t care if you’re a good person. He cares that you follow all his commands, ordnance’s, rules. I can only keep trying and listening. I’m going to start over when I’m done listening. Like Jeff said and highlight passages that really speak to me in my Bible. Well, we’ll just keep pressing play and pray. Praying for you Fr. Mike, keep praying for us.
I'm learning so much 🥰 You are both a blessing & we are all blessed listening to God's Word 💗✝️🕊 I'm months behind because life crises & parenting 😮 I believe we are all where we are supposed to be & God speaks to us st the right moment 💗🙏✝️👼🏻 God Bless everyone struggling & striving to live the Gospel 👼🏻💗✝️
Thank you, FrMike & Jeff for your insights. So grateful you are there!
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
I’m so happy that I embarked in this journey….All of you that need help please be faithful, remember “Thy Will Be Done” God bless you all from Douglas, Az.
Thank you fr mike and jeff cavins for bible in a year, so grateful ,enjoying it so much, following you from melbourne ,australia, did not miss one day,day 267 ,have learn so much about the prophets and the word of God, i will do it again next year. God bless you both, praying for you and each other as we listen to the word of God.
God Bless you both! I sometimes can’t believe it, listening, reading and journaling the entire Bible for the first time, all the way through! Sometimes makes me a little teary. Thank you God🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank you darling Fr. Mike you help me to understand with passion, (make me laugh and Heaven knows this year it’s been so needed) and I keep coming back day after day, hearing God’s word. Thank you Jeff! I appreciate your explanations so much!
As an aside, I bet the 2 thumbs down were not for you two Holy men, but for the moving background in the video (made me seasick,sorry!! 🤢)
🙏🏻🕊✝️💗
I made a mistake I’m on page 184…you are doing something l have always wanted to read the Bible. I’m 78 years. Thank you .🙏🙏
I will keep going. Thank you & above all, thanks to God for BIAY.
Im in RICA Classes now ! Thank you Father MIke for sharing your faith with all of us.
Father you are very easy to watch and listen to, thank you and you have beautiful teeth 😬
Thank you Fr Mike and Jeff. I've read the Bible by myself x 7 in the past, but very shallow compared to this experience. Yes the prophets are challenging, but many great moments, so we keep going. I'm 2 weeks behind due to vacation, but the messages are right on time so I am at peace with where I'm at. I pray for you and our BIAY community every day ❤️🙏🏻
We need a Bible in a year in Spanish .. I got my mom the Spanish version 😭❤️
No words can describe how wonderful BIAY in a year has been! THANKS BE TO GOD!!!
The prophets are definitely the hardest section of the scripture for me
I started BIAY in summer of 2021. Today I completed Day 223...so I am almost a full year behind. I definitely needed these words of encouragement as I read through the end of Isiah today. This is an amazing journey and I'm so glad that the podcasts and Fr. Jim's commentaries from last year are still accessible on the web. I often think of how difficult it must be for Fr. Mike to have produced, not only the daily readings but the commentaries as well. Thank you to all in this community for all that you do!
Beautiful Father!! God bless everyone!!
I am so grateful for Bible in a Year… I have not missed one day. It’s the first thing I start my day with on Apple podcast. I’m going to miss it next year … maybe it wi continue? There have been passages that have brought me to tears and struck me personally I am grateful for this every day. Thank you 🙏
I wonder if the podcast will still be available after the end of the year? The Bible and notebook and accessories would be a wonderful gift to encourage family or friends to start listening.
Yes, they have stated that it will remain up indefinitely! Great gift idea!
Yay for this video... miss seeing Jeff and yourself, Fr Mike.. 🥰. 🍻 to the last 98 days until we finish this series/podcast! 🍻 Am listening all the way as far as 🇲🇾, with ❤.
Perfect timing for this session. I was falling behind and feeling discouraged. God bless you for reviving my commitment 🙏🙏🙏
I’ve said this before but it bears repeating. I spent 4 years at Bible College in intense study, parsing verses, memorizing, taking exams, writing papers,, etc… but this series is presenting me with so many new insights, and even better, drawing me nearer to the heart of the Father again after many years. The Word of God is a.deep treasure and we are the treasure hunters. Thank you Fr. Mike, Jeff Cavins, and all the support staff behind the scenes. BTW, I have saved so many of these videos on my FAVs or Shareworthy playlist, that it may as well be the entire series. 😃 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️😃
Thank you and may God bless you both, Fr. Mike and Jeff! So good to "see" you, not just "hear" you! What a wonderful year this is, all because of BIAY! Pray for me, as I will pray for you and all of the BIAY community!
This Is Year Two For Me Reading The Bible And God willing I will continue to do so.Thank you so much Fr Mike for doing this with us.Your in my prayers
This podcast is just wonderful. Thank you both so much. Praying for you and everyone listening to it. God bless🙏❤️🙏
These two are Heaven-sent to humanity. So grateful to you both and the rest of the people behind this wonderful podcast.
Been trying to read the Bible since I was a kid but never pass chapter 'til I finished College. Just so hard for me to comprehend!
God Bless us all & May all of us will see in Heaven, chillin' with our Dearest/Merciful Jesus Christ!
Thank you so much Fr Mike and Jeff Cavins BIAY has totally transformed my life in so many ways beyond recognition and expectations. My Faith is so much stronger and it only inspired me to Discernment with the Carmelite Order. I am so thankful you both and Ascension Presents created this wonderful opportunity and thank you is never enough. I will always pray for you all and for everyone taking this journey together. My heart and life is so touched that I look forward to all it leads to in my life. You are both such a blessing, I pray it may lead to other such opportunities in the future. We can lift and encourage one another through Our Lord and Saviour. God Bless you and thank you. I pray for you all, until tomorrow 🙏
I love this podcast. For so long I wanted to read the Bible but kept putting it off. Than Fr Mike made this wonderful podcast. I was on day 235 when COVID hit me and I ended up in hospital. Looking forward to getting back into my routine and listening again. God Bless you Father Mike.
Thank you God bless Rev Father and master
My Pastor, Father Dan Hyman and I are both on our second year of Bible in a year and many member of our Council of Catholic Women are also listening too. Thank You.
BIAY is a wonderful gift. I've found the Bible so difficult to read/understand, and never thought I would end up reading more than the Gospels (a trauma in and of themselves). Yet a priest reading it aloud and explaining it has brought it to life for me in a way I never thought possible. Apart from a few tough things like Numbers and stuff like that which (I must admit) are going in one ear and out the next without pause. 🥴
This is my second time around with BIAY with Fr. Mike and Jeff. I continue to receive abundant gifts. In fact, having read the Bible with Fr. Mike once allows me to now focus more on the messages than on the letters and words. Quoting Fr. Mike: “What a gift!”
God bless you both, your families, the teams that put it together and the whole BIAY community journeying together. God is so good 🙏🏼🌟
The BIAY brought me so much closer to Christ and it WAS the spiritual first aid kit I didn’t realize I needed.
Father Mike you are great…l use the same catholic bible as you l read everyday you reading and explaining is so helpful I’m on day 178 l love it. Thank you
Cannot thank you both enough, Father Schmitz and Jeff! May God be praised and may He abundantly bless the wonderful work you are doing! Praying for you and your ministry!🙏🙏
