Father Mike is an introvert? I never would have thought that. Teasing aside: I needed this more than I'd ever thought possible.
Wow - INCREDIBLE interview. I was blown away by the questions - BRILLIANT - and then the answers. I am so BLESSED to be Catholic - so blessed to be a child of God. So blessed in my life. The CONTENT of this interview is so RICH - that I need to listen to it a number of times to fully comprehend. Thank you Dynamic Catholic Team!!!
Thanks John. Appreciate it. I spent a long time coming up with the questions. I wanted it to be really unique.
@@MatthewKellyAuthor Yes the questions were really well put sir, thank you.
Thanks Petrus.
Be thankful you're not limited access to it for 72 hours.
@@bevmoore2869 What do you mean Bev?
Coffee…That explains a lot. 😂🤣. Been listening to BIAY podcast on the recommendation of a friend. Best thing I ever did. Fr. Mike is very relatable. Bless him and may he continue to introduce Jesus to and spread His word to as many people as possible.
😀thanks for sharing. He is a good man and we need more like him.
My wish for you...
PEACE, FORGIVENESS & LOVE FOR ALL THE WORLD.
Indeed
Fr. Mike is awesome. Bible in a Year has been amazing!
I loved this interview. I listen to Fr. Mike every day in the Bible In a Year podcast, so I feel like I know him. Obviously I don't, but I liked hearing him explain his relationship with Christ. He's a very special man! God Bless Fr. Mike!
Thanks for watching Sue, glad you enjoyed it so much! Which particular part about his relationship with Jesus was your favorite?
@@MatthewKellyAuthor the clarity he's had from a young age. He trusted enough to discern between marriage and the priesthood. That truly demonstrates his faith!
Two incredibly bright, personable and articulate Catholic men. I've been a fan of Matthew for many years, but this is my first exposure to the gifted Father Mike. Even after 56 years of marriage, some of his marriage comments piqued my interest in continuing to be a Catholic husband. Probably the best 75 minutes I've spent in a long time.
So glad you enjoyed it and learned something from the wisdom of Fr. Mike! Thanks for watching Donald!
Agreed
Thank you for this wonderful interview!! As a fellow Minnesotan I love Fr. Mike's cheerful demeanor. Thank you both for your positive attitude about living lives filled with Christ. What an incredible witness you both are to what Christians can be, and in a humble way. God bless you both in your ministries. Tom Dahl, Hanover, MN
I came upon this interview accidentally and listened to it over lunch. What an open, honest, and real conversation!! There are so many truths here and such wisdom. This time blessed me. May God bless you both! ❤️
I'm so glad this video found you Lori, thanks for taking the time to watch it! What was your main takeaway/favorite part?
Reading Life is Messy now ...was surprised to see EB White in the forward...
Thank you for an amazing dialogue about our Catholic Faith. It breathes life back into the faithful.
Thank you for watching! What was your favorite part/main takeaway from the interview?
My own father has passed away since the previous comment...I miss Dad talks. Father Mike and Matthew Kelly are having a dialogue that allows us to get to know Father Mike the person. The Bible in a Year is that Dad conversation every morning. I see two sinks of dirty dishes in the morning and hear children who need to be fed. By the time Father Mike is done sharing, I have my mind filled with the Word of God, knowledge of history, and a perspective for the day. He has Dad jokes, makes up his own words and keeps the difficult simple. He has a heart that breaks for the lost and broken, but he isn't afraid to have the difficult conversation that a Dad would have with a child. A Dad tells you the hard truth in a straight and loving way.
This interview is wonderful. You have touched many areas of my life and heart. Regrets, a few, looking back, sometimes. My dad loved The Lord immensely and passed with his rosaries in his hands. I love the Lord. Early this year I finally found the strength to go to confession with two items that I was carrying around for years. I sobbed and thanked God for giving me the strength to talk with him. My soul felt free.
Loved the interview. Prayers for Fr. Mike and his Mom. May the Good Lord Heal her.
I follow Fr Mike on Ascension presents and his Sunday homily. Like listening to Matthew Kelly, it’s always a learning experience. I’d like Matthew to interview Fr Altman.
Thanks for watching Lu, and thanks for the suggestion. What was your main takeaway/favorite part of this interview?
My takeaway was, priests are people like us. They have their own battles with sin and dealing with life’s challenges. They just have learned to surrender to God and have a relationship with him. We tend to keep the father at arms length instead of embracing him. You (Matthew) encourage us to embrace God and trust in him. Priests already do and it’s not always easy for them to do so either.
Love Fr. Mike. He always relates to thtose he speaks to . Such an inspiration.
Indeed.
Matthew, I teach RCIA at our parish and must admit I didn't know of you...until this last class (Tuesday night,) when one of our class members spoke of how much he values your work. The next day, this interview came up on my RUclips suggestions!
I'm a deeply thankful convert to the Church and I've followed Father Mike for about 8 years now. I just can't articulate how much his ministry has meant to my Catholic faith.
Thank you both!
Thanks for serving people in that way. It is so needed. We are working on a new RCIA program
I love m Catholic, can't imagine nothing else I feel so blessed
Awesome. Please pray for me.
Thanks Father Mike for showing up for all those college kids! Dont get pulled away from that because many lose faith at that age ! In my city of two million we were all vaccinated by citizen volunteers this year....proud to be American! Get these kids to volunteer at food banks!
Yes it is great work he is doing with those young people.
This was awesome. Thank you both for sharing so much about yourselves and about our faith and what it means to have God in our lives! I am so honored and grateful to be a Catholic. God’s Blessings Always 🙏✝️❤️
Delighted this inspired you Sheila.
Two of my very favorite people together
How wonderful!!!
Matthew, you have been my spiritual guide for years now. I have added Fr. Mike this past year doing the "Bible in a Year" podcast. Fr. Mike, please do a whole new year of the "Bible in a Year"!!! There are so many insights you have pointed out, and because of time constraints, many more you could share by doing it again.
I agree! I love the BIAY podcast, and I plan on starting it again Jan. 1st.
To see the human side is wonderful. Thank you and God Bless You both
Thanks for watching Karen! Which one of Fr. Mike's stories did you enjoy the most?
@@MatthewKellyAuthor he tells such good stories, but the one about skipping Mass and then having to stay home all day, could have been me. Lesson learned.
Two of my favorite people! Thank you!
Thanks Pamela! Glad you were able to watch it! What was your favorite/most enlightening part?
@@MatthewKellyAuthor When Fr. Mike talked about the person who came to confession after 50 years. Made me think about the absolute grace we're all offered freely through confession!
Yes me too 😊👍🏻👍🏻
@@pamelamorgan1086 One of my favorite moments of having Confirmation students was stepping back and letting them explain confession to someone's girlfriend who was attending class, but not Catholic. One of the young men listened to everyone's explanation and then said, "And you just feel so great afterward".
Father Mike made a decision to give his life to serving God. What a blessing you are to so many people. Knowing and feeling Gods love is beautiful.
Amen! I'm delighted this resonated with you, Carmel!
Such a wonderful and insightful way to spend time with two of my favorite people that I've never met
Both Fr. Mike and Matthew Kelly are very powerful influences in my faith journey. I have much respect for both of these men. God bless you both.
Totally
I have "known" Matthew Kelly for years..and Father Mike for 322 days.. love you both. The world needs more "Christ inspired" people like these two, along with Dr Scott Hahn and Bishop Barron...all following in the footsteps of Bishop Fulton Sheen...the greatest. Thank you ✝️🙏💞🙂 ps..I just told my age..I watched him on a black and white tv as a child.
You are very welcome. Thanks for all your love and support
Been listening to these two excellent awesome men for many years in their own ministries.
So precious having them together! God has raised up these anointed ones to lift us up! And they do.
😊💜🙏
Thanks Joolz. Appreciate your support and encouragement.
What a meaningful exchange - showing that priests are real people. So so important….
I’m a new fan of Fr Mike!!! He has helped me rediscover faith
He is amazing, isn't he?
@@MatthewKellyAuthor he helped me decide to pursue my RCIA :)
WOW what wisdom shared here today … Matthew Kelly and Father Mike are 2 of my favorite people … true DISCIPLES of God … God continue to bless you both and thank you 💙
Thanks for watching Joan! What was your biggest takeaway/favorite part of the video?
I love Matthew Kelly and I love Fr. Mike … Thanks be to God for the both of them
Thank you.
Fr Mike's advice on prayer is probably the best I've heard so far - consistency beats intensity, that everything's not riding on that one time, not about answers every time but getting to know each other. Massively helpful for me, thank you!
So glad you enjoyed this and found it helpful, thanks for watching! Please also share this with anyone you know who could benefit from hearing Fr. Mike's great advice!
What a blessing to have Father Mike and Mathew Kelly together. Great interview, lots to reflect on. Thank you and may God give you both strength and wisdom to keep evangelizing His people. 💕
What a great interview. And yes, Love is a Decision! Daily! Hourly! Minutely! God give us the grace to love!
Thanks for watching Karen! Please share this with anyone in your life who needs to hear the wisdom of Fr. Mike!
I found this interview to be very insightful. It is worth listening to again with a notepad to capture the great advice from Fr. Mike
Delighted you enjoyed it. More interviews to come
What a blessing to watch this interview. Two amazing men who love our faith and God. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for watching Stella! What was your main takeaway/favorite part of the interview?
@@MatthewKellyAuthor I have to go to confession. :) I'm 76 and was raised in fear. I have such a hard time getting over that. Father Schmitz is pretty dynamic but so down to earth in what he expresses.
GOod to see you two having a good time filled with grace. Thank you for sharing your conversation with us all.
This is the best interview I’ve ever seen with Fr. Schmitz.
Thanks Ron. Delighted you enjoyed it.
This was fantastic! The two of you are friends I’ve yet to meet 😊. You are both in my life daily! Audios - RUclips’s- books - etc. So having the both of you in one conversation is awesome! 🤯 🤩🤩
My two favorites together! This is the conversation I newer knew I always needed. I hope you do this again sometime!
We definitely hope to! What was your favorite part of the interview?
@@MatthewKellyAuthor
P
The questions were outstanding and questions we could each reflect on! You are my TWO best Catholic role models, along with my daughter! THANK YOU.
So much wisdom

Can’t wait to sit down and share with my whole family! Kiddos ranging from 6-15! Thank you both, may God protect you two always! 💙
Thanks for watching and sharing with your family Jessica! I would love to hear what you and your children's favorite parts of the video are!
Powerful interview, Matthew and Fr. Mike! Through your words, I have been graced with humility as many of my questions and prayers were discussed and addressed. You are both in my prayers.
Thanks for watching Darla, and thanks for your perspective as well. What was your favorite/most enlightening part?
@@MatthewKellyAuthor There were many parts that spoke to me however, the question regarding love, staying married, etc. hit home as I've been struggling in my marriage of 36 years. Why would I expect him to change now?
You both are two shining lights to me!
You make me want to become better person!
In faith& life!
Thankyou you both!
Thank you. Please help pass it around
Thankx for sharing with us all 👍🏼🙏🏼
So welcome! What was your favorite/most enlightening part?
Thank you both for this wonderful converstion on everyday things. God bless you both for your wisdom, and authenticity. ❤
I love how Father Schmitz thoughtfully responds to Matthew's questions. Thank you for your time and inspirational interview.
I'm delighted his wisdom is resonating with you, Jeanette.
Two of my favorite guys in one place! Pure awesomeness!! Great, GREAT interview!
Glad you enjoyed it Kimberly, thanks for watching! What was your favorite Fr. Mike answer from the interview?
I will listen to this again and again! God Bless!
So glad you enjoyed it Jennifer! What was your favorite part of the interview?
So grateful I took time to listen- this was awesome
Thanks for watching Jane! What was your favorite part?
This has been such a helpful conversation. I am a confirmation sponsor to one of my 15 y/o guitar students. Aside from her church program, she and I are working through the Decision Point workbook. We meet in her backyard once a month and go through two sections. She is very articulate for her age, and we end up sharing our thoughts for an entire afternoon! I am finding myself renewed in my faith as I sponsor her. My favorite part of this conversation was when you discussed the greatest concerns for young people. I took copious notes. Thank you for this conversation and for all the resources you provide.
Your comment should be highlighted! You are doing a great service to God and our youth, thank you for that. I am sure there is more but I also loved the interview and turned it up at that moment since I have kids as well. I can see me doing a LOT of penance for my teenage daughter coming up. They are a handful and I loved Fr.’s responses for the youth of today.
This is incredible Donna, thank you for sharing this part of your story and thank you for sharing your faith! I am glad you enjoyed this interview and found Fr. Mike's responses helpful.
You are both such a blessing to us all. God bless you and we are praying for you. 🙏🥰🙏
That was so incredible! The two most influential people in my faith journey, together.
I feel so overwhelmed with wonderful thoughts to ponder, from this interview and the RECLAIM
Ambassador’s event. Thank you, and may God bless you abundantly for all you do!
....now, I would like Fr. Mike to ask you, Matthew, all those same questions....
Thank you for all you both do!!!! You bring hope to our hurting Catholic Church!
Great message. Great idea. Thanks.
Two amazingly faith filled men…very inspiring. God bless you both 🙏
Thanks for watching Carlotta! What was your main takeaway from the interview?
I am thankful to both of these Holy men and have gratitude for the the number of people who are led to an encounter through the work Christ does in and through them.
Peace be with you.
Thank you for watching Donnie! What was your favorite question/response from the interview?
Thank You for this program 🙏🕊✝️God Bless You Father Mike🙏🕊✝️❣
I am delighted Fr. Mike's wisdom resonated with you, Helena.
Fantastic interview great faith Father Mike and Matthew great insight thank you so much may God bless the both of ye abundantly great servants of God ❤
God bless u both great q/a from Matthew Father Mike ❤
Some of my two favorite Catholic people together!! You both have helped me and my family grow in our faith. God Bless ❤️🙏 . Ps I love ur books so much Mathew!
Matthew, you spoke of love in an earlier interview in a way I’ve never heard before. You said we should seek to ask God for the grace to find the person in the room who needs the most love and give it to them. More recently I read a quote from St Pope JP2 that said that when we pray the rosary we enter the psychology of love. Mind melting... Thank you for giving me a new charism to aim for. I’ll be keeping all of this in my mind and heart as I go through my days. God bless you, brother!
Thank you so much, such a powerful and inspiring interview.
You are very welcome Carol! What was your favorite part?
"Of course he was home, cause priests only work 1 day a week...." Love it! LOL.

I am so blessed by this interview . I love that God can write a great Story in our brokenness.
That makes me so happy. Delighted it served you.
Absolutely wonderful! May God Bless you both!
Thank you Kathy
Really enjoyed this interview! I’ve been following the Bible in a year podcast since the beginning of this year, and I was starting to get curious to know more about Fr Mike, so I really enjoyed this
I really enjoyed listen to this talk God’s blessings to the both of you ; being a cancer patient I really learn how to ,know all graces I received during my treatments when I felt that God was distant. I realized he was with me all the time . Thank you again God Bless.
Praying for you.
Amazing interview. Both the questions and the answers were so well done and inspiring. I'm in awe of these men and their ability to awaken spiritual needs. I pray God continues to bless them with wisdom.
Thanks Erica.
Spectacular.
Took me this long to discover this amazing connection with Fathers Mike. I pray one day I could speak with him in person, by email or zoom.I need Father’s guidance. I pray this is read and answered
I encourage you to check if any of his speaking events are coming to your area.
Oh my gosh!!! This is so wonderful to listen to you together!! I have read many of Matthew's books and, because of his question about "have you read the Bible", I am listening to Fr Mike and the BIY. Bless you both.
Wow! This is such an incredible interview. It was so great to learn more about Fr. Mike. Great questions, Matthew.
Thank you
Congratulations for this interview, it's my first time on your channel and I really like the questions you've chosen, the way they were delivered and the fact than you spend good time separating it into sections and not adding ads, it all great. God bless you and bless the work you do .
Fr Mike was great as usual, I was touched for many stories and words he said, thank you father and God bless you
Thank you so much. I am delighted to welcome you to the Chanel.
Awesome interview! Thank you both.
Thanks for watching Ena! What was your favorite part?

Best interview of Fr Mike I’ve heard. Great questions!
Thanks Michael.
What a fantastic interview! So many great nuggets -- I will rewatch this again!
Thanks Mary. Delighted you enjoyed it. First time I have done this. Was fun.
Great interview! I wouldn't have expected Fr. Mike to be an introvert. I totally understand that. This is my first encounter with Matthew Kelly... i'll be looking for more interviews with him, too. God bless you both!
Thanks for watching @Ms Dove! What was your favorite question/response from the interview?
🙏💗BE LIKE Father MIKE!! What a beautiful hour & 15 minutes !!! God bless Matthew Kelly and God Bless Father Mike. Thank you for this blessing!!
I'm delighted Fr. MIke's wisdom resonated with you, Jeanne! I hope you will share this with someone in your life who needs to hear it!
I learned so much, even at 80. Love you both. Thank you both - Blessings.
Hope I am still learning at 80. That’s inspiring.
@@MatthewKellyAuthor I read your books and listen to your daily inspirations. I listen to THE BIBLE IN A YEAR with Father Mike and lots of his other talks. You two are an inspiration to me!❤️❤️
Two of my favorite people in the world on one talk! Amazing. I’ve been enjoying listening & learning from Father Mike Schmitz on his RUclips videos & podcast. And Matthew Kelly has great videos too and his book-Rediscover The Rosary book has changed my life! And I’ve gifted that book to many of my clients/friends, as it explains why we pray the rosary and it’s just such a beautiful book with reflections & prayers-that book has been what keeps me sane & grounded in this chaotic world. Thank you again to both of you, I’m a big fan!!! ❤
I'm delighted this interview inspired you, Katrina!
Wonderful interview. Great questions and deep answers. I love the comparison of our struggles in life with the butterfly transformation, and also when Fr. Mike say that parents should always set the example like the parent of the prodigal son.
Thanks Sylvie. Hope you will share it with many.
Wonderful addition to my life today. Thank you both 😊
My favourite priest Fr Mike Schmidtz and my favourite talk show host Mathew Kelly Wonderful God thank you and bless them
Thanks Lela.
Both Fr. Mike and Matthew K. are two dynamic speakers, as well as genuinely good people! Thank you for that interview!
Thanks Debra.
Father Mike is brilliant, he knows God‘s word and lives it, he’s transparent and open and gives of his heart. His face shines with the beauty and love
of God. And that wonderful quick. smile is just truly angelic!
I Always come away so renewed when I listen to both men. Thank you both for sharing your thoughts that help someone like me know there is always hope thru our Lord.
Thanks Jean.
A phenomenal interview with two phenomenal people! Father Mike, thank you for sharing your faith journey, and life, with us. You, and Matthew Kelly, have touched so many lives. I see the face of Christ when I look at both of you. God loves both of you
P.S. I can't picture you being a punk!
Thanks for watching Ck East! What was your favorite question/answer from the video?
@@MatthewKellyAuthor Mr. Kelly, I've read several of your books; loved them. My favorite question dealt with Father Mile's personal life. I grew up in a different time, and always put priests on a pedestal. I still do. I realized how human he is, especially when he talked about married couples and the toilet seat. My mindset is fixed, and he uses the bathroom just as we do. When he referred to his being a pink; can't fathom that, not Father Mike! I saved your interview. I want to watch it again. All of your questions were my favorite! God Bless you. He loves you, too.
Thoroughly enjoyed every part of this. I appreciate both of you gentlemen. I thank both of you for what you do! Got lots of Fr. Mike quotes!
Thank you!
Fabulous interview! Thank you for sharing your time and wisdom 🙏☀️
I'm delighted Fr. Mike's wisdom resonated with you, Chantal. I hope you will share this message with someone in your life who needs to hear it.
Thank you. It's very interesting to listen to Fr. Mike's interview with you. I like Fr. Mike a lot.
Thanks for watching Cecile! What was your favorite part of the interview?
My “bestest” priest buddy ( well in my head at least!) Father Mike!🙌🏾🙌🏾 .Thank you Matthew, for uploading this wonderful interview. God bless you both.🙏🏾
So awesome!! I loved it so much! Great start to my day! Going to save and may play every morning to be more mindful of how many God filled days I am missing!! God bless both of you and your ministries!!!
So many great questions offered by Matthew... It's the questions we ask that our actions are build on and so I appreciated Father Mike answering them with such understanding and openness in sharing his own experiences. It helped me see his positive perspective on the opportunities set before us and being open to God leading the way: "Letting God teach us how he speaks" to us personally and through relationships. Thank you Father Mike and Matthew Kelly. I look forward to reading your newest books.
Great insight Jane, thank you for watching!
Fr. Mike has given so much of his life to us.
All who encounter him, leaves a little closer to Jesus.
One question that comes to mind would be.... (considering that we all want a piece of him)...would be....
What does he do to keep from burning out?
Maybe this was covered, and I missed it....if so, I apologize!
God bless! 🌷
I will ask him in next interview. Great question. Thanks.
I liked the interview you had w/ Fr Mike. He is such a great speaker, being an introvert that he is, lol. I surely appreciate his responses about couples, marriage, and words of wisdom he offered. It was like he knew what I was asking and provided the answer. Fr Mike, if you ever do a tour with Churches, please come to the East coast, I would love to listen to what you have to share. God bless!
This was SO interesting. You two are two of MY favorite superheros. God Bless you both. Can't wait for the next interview session.
Thanks Debra.
Brilliant about confessions joy of forgiveness father Smith and u Matthew great knowledge glory to God almighty always first and foremost forever❤
Fantastic, inspiring, motivating! Two great minds of faithful wisdom……God bless you both and your ministries!!
Thanks for watching Cathy! What was your favorite question/answer from the video?
This is great! I watch both of your RUclips videos and loved watching this interview.
Thanks Cindy. Glad you enjoyed it.
Just a glimmer of hope.
