Thank you Father Mike ! Your enthusiasm holds my attention!and is like a magnet . Your story telling is so talented ! I love how you put inflections into all the stories . The Bible In A Year Podcast , has become an adventure to me and I am sure the whole community .

Great way to listen to the Bible. The explanation of the daily readings helps with understanding what it’s about. Only warning is Father Mike has a very relaxing voice. Avoid listening if you are tired but want to actually lay attention.

The show is quite beautifully done. It is nice and simple and easy to understand. What a blessing!

There is a before and after this podcast in my life. My faith, understanding and dedication to God has increased exponentially. Thank you Father Mike!

Father Mike does the most amazing job reading and explaining the Bible. He is full of so much wisdom and guidance for all Christians. The humility with which he teaches the Bible is unmatched. I have been a catholic my whole life and never before have I been so on fire for God’s word. This is my second year listening to Father Mike and I gain some new knowledge each time through it. Listen. Whether catholic or not, I promise you will not be able to get enough and will leave wanting to share this podcast with everyone!

So thankful for Father Mike and his reading and study. Always enjoyable and enlightening

I love this podcast. Father Mike is wonderful. He has changed my life and so many others. God bless him and all his followers.

I am so happy to have found father Mike and the Bible in a year podcast. I learn something new every day and I feel energized hearing God’s word, along with a great recap of the important takeaways. This is such a great community of people, we are truly blessed to gather in the word of the Lord. Update: 2025, I am listening for the fifth year in a row. Still learning something new every day and so happy that I can now speak with love and confidence when people ask about the Lord. It is truly a gift to have depth of understanding. Thank you (again) Father Mike.

I grew up russian Pentecostal and now attend a reformed baptist church just because there are no Pentecostal churches in the area. Listening the bible in a year from a catholic priest i was intrigued to hear his perspective and frankly we are no different you and I. This podcast also cleared up some misunderstandings about the catholic faith. We both love God, learn from scripture. And wait for Christ to return and are saved only through Christ, not mary or another saint and this priest does a good job explaining the saints role in the church. . This podcast is a blessing ti listen to going to work with daily episodes uploaded before I get to the hospital. Blessing to you and your team pastor Mike.

This is so good I listen to him everynight I love being a Christian and I love listening to Christian stuff it made me fall asleep SO GOOD 👍THAT I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN HOW GOOD I SLEPT 😴

I am truly thankful for your podcast. Every morning during my drive, I listen to it and feel an incredible sense of peace. I’ve been a Christian all my life, but this is the first time I’ve committed to listening to the entire Bible. It has been a true blessing. I’ve come to see more clearly that it is an incredible text, one that inspires, teaches, heals, and is indeed the Word of God.

Thank you so much Father Mike. I’m so blessed to listen to the Bible in a year. God bless. Have a beautiful day.

My husband and I listen to one episode each evening- it is adding a new dimension to our faith and love. This podcast is not only education al it is inspirational and thought provoking. We love you father Mike , and pray for you every night. THANK YOU.

Father Mike is one of the reasons we found our way back to our faith. We had not attended mass or prayed for over 7 yrs. Listening Fr. Mikes podcasts made us want to be closer to god. Thank you for helping us find our way back 🩷

The Bible in a Year podcast is amazing, and has really changed my life. As a scientist, I am what you would call a questioning Catholic. Father Mike’s explanations and commentary have really been profound. I did not realize how so much of our pop culture is grounded in the Bible. For example, I was amazed to learn that one of the lines in Bon Dylan’s song Forever Young came from Numbers 6. Also, as a leader, I have been surprised to find all the Bible leadership lessons still applicable today. So I was dismayed to learn yesterday that the podcast for day 179 is the same as day 178. There is no day 179. This has happened last week as well. Would you be able to publish day 179?

I appreciate the opportunity to explore the Bible with Father Mike and have stuck with it every day through today. My one critique is that lately there have been errors on the episodes—they don’t match the reading plans and are repeats of previous days. For instance, Day 174 and 178 are repeats of 173 and 177. Please make the corrections so we can stay on track!

3rd time through, it has changed my life and I love my daily dose of Gods word.

Boy oh boy, what a gift!

I am not Catholic but have enjoyed, learned and look forward to listening to Mike Schmitz.

This podcast changed my life in ways that I cannot describe. Thank you.

I’m Praying for You, Please Pray for Me!

Thank you for your sincerity and wonderful explanations of each passage you read! You are truly doing God’s work!

You have taught me so much I am very grateful God Bless you

Thank you for helping me create a new daily habit learning & living by His the Word. Thank you for your daily prayers & explanations of the readings. Praying for you and all of us on this journey listening.

Reading the Bible cover to cover is achievable in a year with Fr. Mike…..unbelievable. Why did I wait so many years for this infusion of understanding and inspiration? Thank you Fr. Mike.

Fr Mike, you have done a superb job with the podcast. You make the bible easy to understand and to relate to. Thank you

Even though this is the third time through, I take away something new each day. Thank you Father Mike!

Always warm and loving in his reading and review of the word for the day. Wisdom and warmth everyday.

Through this series, my faith is becoming deeper and more consistent. I feel like I am being personally guided by father Mike, as I learned more about the Bible. And Jesus Christ.

2nd time through. The way Father Mike helps us relate to and explains the Bible is nothing short of miraculous. I’m a teacher and recommend this my students all the time.

Thank you Mike Schmitz for spreading Christianity.

This is amazing, thank you!

Fr. Mike, thanks for sharing your love of our Lord and inspiring insight into the Bible. It took me almost four years to complete, but I did it! My goal for the next round is to make it through in under two! God bless you. I'm praying for you, please pray for me!

This is my third time through and I’m still learning something new everyday. Fantastic content and commentary. I recommend this podcast every chance I get!

Fr. Mike you do a great job I appreciate this very much, one question I have is why do you skip around it is a little hard for me to follow.

This is such an important part of my day! What a wonderful way to spend a little time in the Bible. And Fr. Mike’s commentary is inspiring. I love this podcast! Thank you for offering it!

I’m not Catholic, but finding this podcast has meant so much to me. Thank you Father Mike. Listening every day has helped strengthen my relationship with God.

I’m on my fourth year of trying to get through all 365 days. I let the other concerns in life get in the way. But when I make this part of my routine, the day is so much better. I can’t recommend doing this enough. I understand so much more, now.

Which meant I “had” to listen to two or three segments a day. Now I’m caught up. I have to wait for tomorrow. Wahhh.

Great way to learn about the Bible having somebody read it to you and explain afterwards

All who discover Father Mike’s Bible in a year podcasts, are spiritually blessed and learn that God uses all are who are faithful to God, thank you Lord!!!!

Fr. Schmitz brings such energy and depth of analysis. I have read through the Bible annually on my own but this podcast format is bringing many new insights. Listening is one of my favorite morning rituals.

I am ever so grateful for this amazing podcast. I have always wanted to read the Bible, but failed at all of my attempts due to the obvious truth that I was so ill equipped to tackle it on my own. Fr. Mike and Jeff Cavins do a phenomenal job at explaining the historical and theological significance brought up by the readings. I feel I have received an important education AND have come to understand, appreciate, and love my faith and my God, and have a deeper connection to Jesus Christ.

I have attempted to read the Bible, only to give-up numerous times. Fr. Mike makes it so easy to listen to, and his prayer and commentary at the end of each episode make it easier to understand and relatable to today’s world. Only 134 days in so far, but can see this being an annual tradition for me.

Father Mike Schmitz is the best! This podcast has changed my life.

I have attempted to read the Bible on my own several times in any life without success. This is the best podcast I have ever heard. Finally able to read the Bible with Father Mike and grow in my faith

When I started Bible in the Year, I had no idea how much it would impact my life, how it would change the way I pray, how it would strengthen my faith and my love for our ever-faithful Lord! Thank you, Fr. Mike! Excited to begin Rosary in a Year.

Love This Podcast Thank You Father Mike♥️🥰

I love to read the Bible anyway but to listen to Fr Mike commentate is very insightful and helpful. Love this podcast thank you!

This is the best way to go through the bible. I am grateful for your podcast Fr Mike.
