Love this! Definitely sharing with my Bible study group. It helps as we are doing the Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible program, and this helps with refreshing the things we have learned so far.
The Bible in a Year and Father Mike’s explanation of Theology of the Body is what God used to save me from the pit. I am detransitioning. I am in RCIA. Praise God. I am thankful.
God bless you! My niece is caught up in trans ideology. I wish I knew how to reach her. Is there anything anyone could have said to help you in the moment?
Eeyyyy ❤ one of us. im also a I do what to call it former lgbtq? renounced lgbtq? Catholic. Fillowing God, its not an easy path to walk in our culture today but its so worth it. One thing that encourages me is thinking about how high my odds of running into a fellow Christian are compared to the early Christians in the time of the Roman Empire and how they were able to be courageous live out their faith.
Fr. Mike is a national treasure. The first time I read the bible from cover to cover was at the age of 64 with BIY. I am now on my 3rd read through. Always learning new aspects of the story. Fr. Mike has been so instrumental in my spiritual growth. Thank God for him and his ministry. Time to make a donation.
These videos have really opened my eyes to the importance and value of learning Scripture. I've been joining this online Bible study, and it's been super helpful in growing my faith. I'd highly recommend giving it a try. It's never too late! Let me know if you'd like some recommendations or need some prayer.
I'd like to request prayer for mu grand daughter who was raised by us and is now living with her atheist parents who keep her from her beliefs. Please pray so she does not forget about God and how much she once loved and believed in Him. We are no longer allowed to make contact with her.
A Catholic my entire life and it wasn't until God led me to the Bible in A Year Podcast that I really understood how much God loved me. Everything from the beginning of the creation has pointed forward to His coming in the flesh, the old testament is revealed in the new and the New testament is hidden in the old. It boggles my mind how awesome our God is and how much He loves us.
Four years ago I was lost within my faith. I loved the Catholic faith but I wasn’t fulfilled. Then God showed me BIY. Please continue to make this sort of content. Ascension is reaching so many. I trust every word Jeff Cavins says. Father Mike is now the voice of the Bible message for millions and we’re ready for more. God bless this Ascension team. The Bible in 10 minutes is awesome.
God has anointed Ascension Press and Father Mike for this time in history to reach so many people. I was a devout lifelong Evangelical Christian who entered the Catholic Church 3 years ago thanks for the Holy Spirit working through Father Mike and RUclips. Thank you Father Mike and Ascension Press. I am praying for you! Please keep on with this kind of content.
Thank you father + team at accession. Baptised into the catholic church @ Easter and I finally feel god's love. I was raised in a Muslim home and taught never to question to Qur'an and never to touch the bible. I was 8 years old when I rejected religion and at 19 I went on a long journey and search which led me down new age spiritually. God sent me my husband and at 30 years old I can confidently say Jesus Christ is our only lord and saviour. Thank you for being the driving force behind my conversion. Bible in a year + catechism in a year saved me. RCIA was god sent and the church is family with heaven being home. Thank you ❤
Thank you for sharing your inspiring testimony of conversion from Islam to Catholicism. I love hearing how the Holy Spirit is transforming lives all over the world. Welcome home!
This is amazing. I was raised without religion. God placed people in my life continuously leading me to him. RCIA at age 25, brought my husband back to The Church, raised 2 daughters, saved my SIL from night terrors with prayer and now his conversion, God is ever present. I read the Road to Salvation and now am watching/reading The Bible in a Year on RUclips. I love how Father Mike is relatable, has a sense of humor but is serious about teaching us. I feel like I finally get it. Blessings to you all for putting together life changing material for us to absorb and understand.
Have you all checked out the Bible Project? They have been making extraordinary videos about everything in the bible for nearly a decade. The scholarship behind the project is deeply respected as well. I strongly recommend checking them out. Wishing you all well... Glory to God.
This man glorifies God, doing His Will, bringing SO MANY souls back to Him. Father Mike is ALWAYS in my prayers, every night, along with the whole BIY community & the whole body of Christ. May we all continue to grow in Christ & unite as brothers & sisters❤
I am on this journey. Drawn back to reading the Bible after 40 years. I cannot thank Fr.Mike enough for making this an epic journey. God is great. I pray always for you Fr. Mike and all who are doing this. Man-o-Man. What a gift. ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️✝️
Reading the Bible for me is a struggle and almost impossible. Bible in a year podcast is a such blessing for me. I am in day 92. I am a visual learner so having this type of videos would be much helpful for me and otters. Thank you for all your efforts, Fr. Mike and the team. God bless all of you!

I can't say enough about how I enjoyed this video!!!! More, more, more! Thank you Father Mike, Ascension Press and all who collaborated to make this video.
Having completed reading the Bible in a Year and almost completed the Catechism in a Year (Ascension) my life has changed for the best. This intro video to read the Bible is brilliant. Thank you to Fr. Mike and the Ascension Team for making it all possible. How could you not read it? 🙏
The bible in a nutshell, well done you BIAY people. As a non catholic I have found it most helpful in my attempts to understand your perspective. Fr Mike your delivery and humour are priceless, you hold a place in my heart, and I lift you before the throne of God daily.
I finished the Bible in a Year Podcast last month, and it is life changing! I rediscovered my Catholic faith, but I also feel like an entirely new person. This was the first time I read the entire Bible, and now I'm doing it again. I'm so grateful for Fr. Mike, Jeff Cavins, and the entire Ascension team-I'm praying for you, please pray for me!
Love this! I think it would benefit many, young and old alike. I’m 67 years old and new Catholic. I have listened to Bible in a year and Catechism in a year for the past 3 years. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to find, listen and learn the great Catholic faith!
This is so lovely. Please please make more videos like this, so many people who keep away from the Bible or from Christianity know so little about them both, and this can draw them closer. We have to reach out and this is a great way. Fr. Mike is so precious, he never disappoints ❤️
3 years ago, I came across BIY. It brought me back to the Catholic Church after not attending mass for many years. I was in a dark place after COVID. Thank you Father Mike and all staff at Ascension/BIY. May this video reach far and wide and bring wandering lost souls back to the Church. Most especially, thank you God for always being there for me! ❤
I’ve read the Bible not once but twice thanks to Fr. Mike and BIY. My husband is on his second round. God is calling us back and we are walking towards Him in baby steps but always moving forward. This video is wonderful. May God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven!
Beautifully presented by Fr Mike. I have gone through the Bible in a year 3 times and will continue. This has greatly helped in my conversion. Praise the Lord Thanks you Fr Mike and team God bless
Just finished Day 246 today (TBIAY) and having Ft. Mike, his podcasts and companions (and the Bible of course) has honestly changed my life. It’s hard to explain until you experience it for yourself. We keep praying for you Ft. Mike!
Over the last 67 days my world was completely flipped around since listening to the bible in a year podcast. Life temptations are always around us and it seems to want us to do anything but reach out and listen to god. It’s a daily battle and I wasn’t able to do this alone without the help of Jesus. I pray to all for this to reach into your hearts and draw your relationship with god closer day by day. It may be a bible in a year podcast. But to me, it’s a bible in a lifetime, that I will look to listen to my whole life 🙏.
Father Mike, Ive just watched your video with my eldest son, Sebi who is 9 y/o. We just loved it seb feels nourished. I am so proud to be Catholic and to have great examples to follow like you, who can encourage and guide us back to God. You have been of so much help to my boys and myself in the last few months, Father. May God bless you!
By the Grace of God, I found the Bible in a Year podcast, Ascension Press and all the materials that come with it. Never have I felt more connected to my Catholic faith and my relationship with Jesus. I wholeheartedly support this work!
I journeyed through the Bible in a year podcast twice. The first time it helped me to get to know God, the Father, who up until that point seemed to me very distant and frankly somewhat harsh. I learned that God the Father is loving, just, and trustworthy. Life changing for me. The second time, it led me to a deeper understanding of God the Holy Spirit & how He makes it possible for us to lead holy lives, when we give Him permission. Thank you father Mike, and all the team for saying yes to God. I know that it must’ve been tons of work to put it together. The catechism in a year podcast has given me a greater understanding and appreciation of my Catholic faith. Again, a sincere thank you. May God continue to protect you and bless you all.
This is amazing, I have journeyed with Fr Mike in the Bible in a year and the Catholicism in a year and learned so much about our faith. Thank you Fr Mike and Ascension Press for all you do to bring God’s message to the world.
I am praying for you father Mike and everyone else who is hearing bible in a year. I am in day 328 and today i learn this.We are all Jewish people of god because we have been grafted apiritually into the tree of life of Jesus Christ promise he has not abandoned his people he still holding on to that promise.
I am so grateful to Fr. Mike and the Ascension team. I have enjoyed in the past "The Bible in a Year" podcasts and I thank you all very much for helping me make sense out of the bible. Although I am a Christian and not a Catholic, I feel you are helping everyone from all denominations learn about the bible. Again thank you all very much. What a difference you are making to those who want to learn more about God. May God bless you forever.
Beautifully done! I’m sending this to my 7 year old grandson who has asked to become Catholic and is learning about the church and our Savior so he can receive the Sacraments this year. He will love this!
I absolutely loved this! I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic school. In college, I fell off track and was away from the church for about 20 years---until the Ascension app & BIY & CIY, the Hallow app and The Chosen all came into my life, and all around the same time! I took that as a sign that He was calling me back and I listened. That was a year and a half ago and I haven't looked back. Fr. Mike has helped me in ways too many to count and I'm eternally grateful to him and the Ascension Team. Please keep creating content like this
Thanks to Ascension and Fr Mike my life transformed and took an incredible path all because of BIY and CIY. I began my journey into Discernment as a Secular Carmelite. I am eternally thankful to all and always Pray for everyone.
Thank you so much Father Mike! You are a good shepherd of your flock! I’ve been listening to BIY since it began and plan to listen until, God willing, I’m called home. Praying for you and for God’s mercy on our world!
Did anyone else get chills and tear up at the BIY piano notes at the very end? 9:31 This video is like a gorgeous picture, worth a thousand words. But those who have gone through BIY know just how much more richness and beauty the full story holds. Thank you for being our guide on the journey, Fr. Mike. 💛
Father Mike Schmitz and Ascension Press, I cannot thank you enough for creating BIY and CIY. It has truly transformed my faith and my relationship with God.
I love this!!!! I teach third grade religious ed. I would love to show these videos to my class. Fr Mike teaches with infectious love and enthusiasm of God !!!
Ever since I did Bible In A Year with Father Mike, it has transformed my spiritual life in so many ways. It has deepened my faith and prayer life and brought me so much closer to God. Everything I do, I do for God. He is the center of my life. And without Him, I would be nothing. All glory, honor and praise be to God for His love for us 🙏❤️🙏 Christ is King ✝️
0:04 I love this! I was so enthralled with a video that I totally forgot to comment on it on my first viewing. That’s why I’m only four seconds in on my second viewing! i’m convinced that this will bring more people to want to read the Bible, to realize that they too, can understand it and provide ongoing encouragement at the point that it seems overwhelming or confusing and they’re ready to drop out. This is definitely a winner in my book. Heartfelt thanks to father Mike and everyone involved!
Thank you Father Mike. I am on my third year of Bible of the year. I will listen every year as it is necessary to stay close to God. Next year will be my first year of Catechism in a year. This year just didn't happen. I am back to the Catholic faith after 15 years and this is the beginning of my third year back so yes I was listening to bible in a year before returning to the Church. It was one of Fr. Mike's videos that brought me back. Wish I could find it again but I can't. I will share this as I still need to get my son back in the Church. Thanks for all you do. Praying for Fr Mike and all in need of prayers.
I remember when I was a kid I used to think I would never have read and known the bible before I die. Now I am 22 years old, and recently God changed my life a lot, and one way he did so is by bringing me to the Bible in a Year podcast with Father Mike Schmitz. Father I pray for you everyday and I am so grateful I got to journey with you through God's love letter for us. I feel so blessed because now I know even if I die the next second, I've been journeying with you through the bible for 125 days and I have read and known at least a part from the Holy Bible. I praise our Father in Heaven for this huge blessing he has given me. And I am really thankful for this amazing animation. I would love to see more! May God bless you all!
Well done. It’s hard for me to be objective because I listen to Fr Mike every day. I am a member of the virtual front pew, completed the BIAY year 1, have consumed much of the messages on Ascension, and will continue to support financially. Thank you Ascension, Fr. Mike, Jeff Cavins, Fr. Mark Toupes, Sister Miriam, etc. etc.
This video is very well done, and I believe it has an excellent possibility of drawing people in to want to learn more through BIY. My one question would be - who is the intended audience? In some parts, I'm not sure the words would be understood by people as young as high schoolers. In my industry, we are told to use in any educational material language at a 5th grade level for the reader (even though what we are making is geared to adults). So, in summary I love it and I think it is wonderful in so many ways, but I do wonder about some of the words used (visual may help understanding enough to overcome, just something to consider).
Absolutely an amazing journey with Father Mike. Bible in a Year has brought me so much closer to God with reading the bible and Father Mike's insights at the end of each day. I highly recommend God bless everyone that is part of this, bring God into our lives. "What a gift"
Wonderful invitation to the Bible in a Year! I’ve been through BIY twice. It is a most beautiful way to come to know Our Father’s love and Jesus words of life.
Absolutely loved this. I’m about halfway through BIY and watched this with my children, and my 8 year old asked “are there more videos like this?” It would be a wonderful way to bring children into deeper relationship with God and His word before they are ready for the podcast!
I had completed the Biblical School in Denver, we went through the Bible in 4 years, and I have been reading the Bible every day since. I now have been listening to the Bible in a Year since it started. I get something new each day. Thank you Father Mike.
Father Mike, thank you for your heart for the Lord and all your work. You are in my prayers daily. I cannot begin to tell you how much you’ve helped me over the last six weeks. I currently work full time in ministry in a Presbyterian church as a pastoral apprentice. My wife, who grew up Catholic, felt like God was calling her back home to the Catholic faith. After she’d told me two or three times, I opened my heart to the possibility that God may actually be calling not just her, but my kids and myself as well. I prayed to God and asked plainly if He was calling me to Catholicism. I immediately began weeping and was filled with a warmth and a sense of joy and peace. God said yes! None of it made sense because at the at moment, I had a list of reasons to not even consider being Catholic, as well as I’m going to loose my job which supports my family. The first video I watched of yours was on the blessed mother Mary. I lost it. I’ve since watched hundreds of videos and have been reading Catholic literature since. I’m all in and can’t wait to become Catholic. I’m currently attending mass as often as I can, signed up for the rciaa classes, and I’m taking a drink from the Catholic fire hose! You have been such a huge part of that and such a blessing on my journey. Thank you doesn’t even do it justice, but with all my heart and love, thank you!
Yes! Please produce! It's good. Fr.Mike knows how to tell God's story of love & salvation in a wonderful faith filled manner. Children would be better reached this way. Adults would also enjoy. The animation was well done. People are thirsting for God's word and hungry for understanding it. Please produce. 😇❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
This is wonderful. Request if more bite sized videos like these are made on Jesus' teachings, major events of New testament, the saints and life of priests. Helps to make children and young adults understand the faith in a fun and quick way.
Fr. Mike Schmitz is like the Steve Irwin of the Catholic Church. He teaches you to fall in love with God and the Church in the most passionate way. God Bless him :)
Wow! Fr. Mike and the Bible in a year has truly opened my eyes to our story of salvation! A cradle catholic and it was through this podcast my faith was renewed, ignited and understood! Love, love this video and animation! A simple short story filled with so much love of our Father! Listen to the podcast, you will find yourself there, in the story, and feel God's love for you! Way to go Father Mike and Ascension Press! ❤
Amazing...Born and raised Catholic...Spent 10 yrs in an amazing SBC bible based church and now back home where we belong in the Catholic Church...Now I'm learning and relearning with more passion than ever and it all started with our oldest and youngest boys deciding on their own to join the Church!!
Fr. Mike, thank you for serving God with your talents. I ask for prayers for my marriage, family, and extended family's needs of deliverance from evil, doubt, and attachment to sin and for healing, conversion, and intercession. 🙏
Well done! God bless everyone who is a part of this project 🙏 ♥️ May God’s love and healing touch everyone who sees this. God sees you and loves you, no matter what you’re going through!!
I can’t begin to describe how going through the bible in a year with Father Schmitz and now this 10 minute video has blessed my life. My faith is so much deeper and stronger because of Father Schmitz. Sunday homilies - they are AMAZING. 💜🙏
I used to avoid the Old Testament books because the story is kinda wild and violence but after following BIAY this year, it wasn't bad at all thanks to Fr Mike explanation and reflection, couldn't do it without you guys :)) gbu all
Bible in a year and Catechism in a year are wonderful!! Thanks to everyone that had a hand in each and huge gratitude and love for Fr Mike. This video is amazing!! More please. No doubt they'll be blessings to many and will bring many to the fullness of truth!! Praise be Jesus Christ! Now and forever!
Father Mike - You are so talented at bringing stories to life in not just how you speak, but the emotion and love that one can see and hear in your presentation of our faith. This presentation style is amazing. Keep doing what you are doing…… “Lead My Sheep”!!!!!
Thank you Fr. Mike for all that you do. These videos that you make do bring hope to people, and we could not be more grateful for you! It reminds me of how Jesus told Peter "feed my sheep." You are truly living for Christ and feeding his sheep. THANKS BE TO GOD
I have known the Lord and walked with Him for over 50 years. During that time I have been a serious student of the Bible. It was absolutely delightful to go through Catechism in Year last year (recommended by my sister-in-law), and this year, Bible in a Year. What I have enjoyed the most is reading the testimonies of so many changed lives, young and old, from every walk of life, every experience in the CIY and BIY posts: people discovering the abundant life that Christ offers to us in Him. I am thankful that Fr. Mike answered the call, and has been at the forefront today of being a vessel used by God, and with his team, to lead people in their return to the Great Shepherd of our souls. Unspeakable joy!
I am currently on my 3rd go round of Bible in A Year. And I am still learning more about our God and His Word each time I go through it. I love this little animated video but I just love Fr. Mike for all he has done to help me increase in my faith and love of God. He is the best and so is Ascension!
Why is it that when Ascension releases this kind of content it specially when Father Mike presents it always touches my heart to the point of bringing me to tears 🥹😊
I've listened to BIY every year since the beginning. It brought me back to Christianity and the Catholic church. Every year I listen to it I learn more. I'm also in my second year of listening to CIY. I thank God for Ascension Press and Fr. Mike.
Yes, please make more of these videos. Many of us use "The Bible Project' videos because of the visual creativity and good content, but a Catholic perspectic in this fashion is very needed for all ages!
Bible in a Year is absolutely amazing. Father Mike’s podcast is a game changer and it is really helping me on my faith journey. I do think it would be great if Ascension could create an animated series that helps summarize each book of the Bible and how it points to Christ. I would definitely watch those videos. Thank you, Father Mike!!! You are helping thousands of people.
Holy Spirit come! Fill the minds and hearts of all humanity with your goodness! Thank you Fr. Mike and Ascension for creating this content. Praying for you!
Wonderful synopsis that a wide variety of people can understand and relate to. Thank you Ascension and Fr. Mike, Jeff Cavins, and everyone involved in these projects helping us to dive into God's word for the purpose of our sanctification and transformation. May the world truly be set on fire with love as more and more people own their God-given identity as sons and daughters of the Father.

Please pray for may friend and colleagues who have been questioning the Catholic Church out of their confusion in trying to understand it as youth.
Please where can I find such online Bible studies
I'm moved to tears and I don't even know why. Thank you
That’s how it starts.

Same, check out the Traditional Latin Mass, that pulled me even closer.
Believe in One God. God don't eat or drink He is not born nor He tastes death and there is nothing like Him. God created death for a reason.

This is wonderful! Maybe a 10 minute video for every book in our Bible?! We can never have enough of His Word-hoping it will reach out to our youth!
I agree like a summary of each book like the bible project did
Great idea
I love this idea too!

This was the first time I read the entire Bible, and now I'm doing it again. I'm so grateful for Fr. Mike, Jeff Cavins, and the entire Ascension team-I'm praying for you, please pray for me!
Love this! I think it would benefit many, young and old alike. I’m 67 years old and new Catholic. I have listened to Bible in a year and Catechism in a year for the past 3 years. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to find, listen and learn the great Catholic faith!
I too am an almost convert to Catholicism, and Fr. Mike has become a large part of that now! Praise God!
🙏🙏🙏

AMEN! welcome home📿⛪️
Believe in One God. God don't eat or drink He is not born nor He tastes death and there is nothing like Him. God created death for a reason.
This is so lovely. Please please make more videos like this, so many people who keep away from the Bible or from Christianity know so little about them both, and this can draw them closer. We have to reach out and this is a great way.
Fr. Mike is so precious, he never disappoints ❤️
Good morning Linda how are you doing today
I absolutely love this! I am a Catholic school teacher in Cave Creek, AZ and will be using this with my students!
Tempe in the house !!
Mesa in the house ❤😂

3 years ago, I came across BIY. It brought me back to the Catholic Church after not attending mass for many years. I was in a dark place after COVID. Thank you Father Mike and all staff at Ascension/BIY. May this video reach far and wide and bring wandering lost souls back to the Church. Most especially, thank you God for always being there for me! ❤
Amen!
I’ve read the Bible not once but twice thanks to Fr. Mike and BIY. My husband is on his second round. God is calling us back and we are walking towards Him in baby steps but always moving forward. This video is wonderful. May God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven!

Thank you
Beautifully presented by Fr Mike. I have gone through the Bible in a year 3 times and will continue. This has greatly helped in my conversion.
Praise the Lord
Thanks you Fr Mike and team
God bless
Beautiful animation & concise explanation in 10 minutes. Thanks Fr. Mike & Team. Keep doing what you are doing to reach people.🙏📿🤗
Just finished Day 246 today (TBIAY) and having Ft. Mike, his podcasts and companions (and the Bible of course) has honestly changed my life. It’s hard to explain until you experience it for yourself. We keep praying for you Ft. Mike!
Fr. Mike, this was great. I am doing the Bible in a year with you. I'm 76, and I understand better now then ever. Thank you.
going from a year to 10 minutes is wild
Good morning friend how are you doing today
hahah, fr Mike is so hyper, it's possible 😂
Many people are visual learners so this video is perfect
Over the last 67 days my world was completely flipped around since listening to the bible in a year podcast. Life temptations are always around us and it seems to want us to do anything but reach out and listen to god. It’s a daily battle and I wasn’t able to do this alone without the help of Jesus. I pray to all for this to reach into your hearts and draw your relationship with god closer day by day. It may be a bible in a year podcast. But to me, it’s a bible in a lifetime, that I will look to listen to my whole life 🙏.
Father Mike, Ive just watched your video with my eldest son, Sebi who is 9 y/o. We just loved it seb feels nourished. I am so proud to be Catholic and to have great examples to follow like you, who can encourage and guide us back to God. You have been of so much help to my boys and myself in the last few months, Father.
May God bless you!
Thanks! What a wonderful summary of the story of salvation!
By the Grace of God, I found the Bible in a Year podcast, Ascension Press and all the materials that come with it. Never have I felt more connected to my Catholic faith and my relationship with Jesus. I wholeheartedly support this work!
I journeyed through the Bible in a year podcast twice. The first time it helped me to get to know God, the Father, who up until that point seemed to me very distant and frankly somewhat harsh. I learned that God the Father is loving, just, and trustworthy. Life changing for me. The second time, it led me to a deeper understanding of God the Holy Spirit & how He makes it possible for us to lead holy lives, when we give Him permission. Thank you father Mike, and all the team for saying yes to God. I know that it must’ve been tons of work to put it together.
The catechism in a year podcast has given me a greater understanding and appreciation of my Catholic faith. Again, a sincere thank you. May God continue to protect you and bless you all.
It would be great if you could do something similar for the parts of the Catholic mass.
I absolutely love this !❤❤❤❤
This is amazing, I have journeyed with Fr Mike in the Bible in a year and the Catholicism in a year and learned so much about our faith. Thank you Fr Mike and Ascension Press for all you do to bring God’s message to the world.
Good morning Judy how are you doing today
Blessings and gratitude! ✝
I am praying for you father Mike and everyone else who is hearing bible in a year. I am in day 328 and today i learn this.We are all Jewish people of god because we have been grafted apiritually into the tree of life of Jesus Christ promise he has not abandoned his people he still holding on to that promise.
What an amazing gift! Thank you Fr. Mike. God love you.
I am so grateful to Fr. Mike and the Ascension team. I have enjoyed in the past "The Bible in a Year" podcasts and I thank you all very much for helping me make sense out of the bible. Although I am a Christian and not a Catholic, I feel you are helping everyone from all denominations learn about the bible. Again thank you all very much. What a difference you are making to those who want to learn more about God. May God bless you forever.
Good morning Joann how are you doing today
Beautifully done! I’m sending this to my 7 year old grandson who has asked to become Catholic and is learning about the church and our Savior so he can receive the Sacraments this year. He will love this!
I absolutely loved this! I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic school. In college, I fell off track and was away from the church for about 20 years---until the Ascension app & BIY & CIY, the Hallow app and The Chosen all came into my life, and all around the same time! I took that as a sign that He was calling me back and I listened. That was a year and a half ago and I haven't looked back. Fr. Mike has helped me in ways too many to count and I'm eternally grateful to him and the Ascension Team. Please keep creating content like this
Thanks to Ascension and Fr Mike my life transformed and took an incredible path all because of BIY and CIY. I began my journey into Discernment as a Secular Carmelite. I am eternally thankful to all and always Pray for everyone.
Thank you so much Father Mike! You are a good shepherd of your flock! I’ve been listening to BIY since it began and plan to listen until, God willing, I’m called home. Praying for you and for God’s mercy on our world!
Did anyone else get chills and tear up at the BIY piano notes at the very end? 9:31
This video is like a gorgeous picture, worth a thousand words. But those who have gone through BIY know just how much more richness and beauty the full story holds. Thank you for being our guide on the journey, Fr. Mike. 💛
Accension and father Mike started the ripple effect that brought me back and got me confirmed.
Good morning friend how are you doing today
Father Mike Schmitz and Ascension Press, I cannot thank you enough for creating BIY and CIY. It has truly transformed my faith and my relationship with God.
We love to hear that, thank you for making the podcasts a part of your day 💛
The Bible in a Year has changed my life! I am on my third year and still learning! Thank you Father Mike!
Good morning Elisabeth how are you doing today
I love this!!!! I teach third grade religious ed. I would love to show these videos to my class. Fr Mike teaches with infectious love and enthusiasm of God !!!
Good morning Vivian how are you doing today
Ever since I did Bible In A Year with Father Mike, it has transformed my spiritual life in so many ways. It has deepened my faith and prayer life and brought me so much closer to God. Everything I do, I do for God. He is the center of my life. And without Him, I would be nothing. All glory, honor and praise be to God for His love for us 🙏❤️🙏 Christ is King ✝️
0:04 I love this! I was so enthralled with a video that I totally forgot to comment on it on my first viewing. That’s why I’m only four seconds in on my second viewing! i’m convinced that this will bring more people to want to read the Bible, to realize that they too, can understand it and provide ongoing encouragement at the point that it seems overwhelming or confusing and they’re ready to drop out. This is definitely a winner in my book. Heartfelt thanks to father Mike and everyone involved!
Fr. Mike…thank you for all you do. You are a big part of my journey and me finding my way back. God Bless You!!
Good morning Mary how are you doing today
Bible in a Year with Fr Mike is glorious.
Thank you Jesus 🙏
Good morning friend how are you doing today
Blessed be God forever!!!!
Thank you for supporting Ascension! 💛
Thank you Father Mike. I am on my third year of Bible of the year. I will listen every year as it is necessary to stay close to God. Next year will be my first year of Catechism in a year. This year just didn't happen. I am back to the Catholic faith after 15 years and this is the beginning of my third year back so yes I was listening to bible in a year before returning to the Church. It was one of Fr. Mike's videos that brought me back. Wish I could find it again but I can't. I will share this as I still need to get my son back in the Church. Thanks for all you do. Praying for Fr Mike and all in need of prayers.
Good morning Theresa how are you doing today
I remember when I was a kid I used to think I would never have read and known the bible before I die. Now I am 22 years old, and recently God changed my life a lot, and one way he did so is by bringing me to the Bible in a Year podcast with Father Mike Schmitz. Father I pray for you everyday and I am so grateful I got to journey with you through God's love letter for us. I feel so blessed because now I know even if I die the next second, I've been journeying with you through the bible for 125 days and I have read and known at least a part from the Holy Bible. I praise our Father in Heaven for this huge blessing he has given me. And I am really thankful for this amazing animation. I would love to see more! May God bless you all!
Well done. It’s hard for me to be objective because I listen to Fr Mike every day. I am a member of the virtual front pew, completed the BIAY year 1, have consumed much of the messages on Ascension, and will continue to support financially. Thank you Ascension, Fr. Mike, Jeff Cavins, Fr. Mark Toupes, Sister Miriam, etc. etc.
This video is very well done, and I believe it has an excellent possibility of drawing people in to want to learn more through BIY. My one question would be - who is the intended audience? In some parts, I'm not sure the words would be understood by people as young as high schoolers. In my industry, we are told to use in any educational material language at a 5th grade level for the reader (even though what we are making is geared to adults). So, in summary I love it and I think it is wonderful in so many ways, but I do wonder about some of the words used (visual may help understanding enough to overcome, just something to consider).
Fr. Mike should be considered to be a Bishop. God's work through him is tremendous.
Absolutely an amazing journey with Father Mike. Bible in a Year has brought me so much closer to God with reading the bible and Father Mike's insights at the end of each day. I highly recommend God bless everyone that is part of this, bring God into our lives. "What a gift"
Good morning Marianne how are you doing today
Wonderful invitation to the Bible in a Year! I’ve been through BIY twice. It is a most beautiful way to come to know Our Father’s love and Jesus words of life.
Absolutely loved this. I’m about halfway through BIY and watched this with my children, and my 8 year old asked “are there more videos like this?” It would be a wonderful way to bring children into deeper relationship with God and His word before they are ready for the podcast!
Good morning Jane how are you doing today
I had completed the Biblical School in Denver, we went through the Bible in 4 years, and I have been reading the Bible every day since. I now have been listening to the Bible in a Year since it started. I get something new each day. Thank you Father Mike.
Father Mike, thank you for your heart for the Lord and all your work. You are in my prayers daily. I cannot begin to tell you how much you’ve helped me over the last six weeks. I currently work full time in ministry in a Presbyterian church as a pastoral apprentice. My wife, who grew up Catholic, felt like God was calling her back home to the Catholic faith. After she’d told me two or three times, I opened my heart to the possibility that God may actually be calling not just her, but my kids and myself as well. I prayed to God and asked plainly if He was calling me to Catholicism. I immediately began weeping and was filled with a warmth and a sense of joy and peace. God said yes! None of it made sense because at the at moment, I had a list of reasons to not even consider being Catholic, as well as I’m going to loose my job which supports my family. The first video I watched of yours was on the blessed mother Mary. I lost it. I’ve since watched hundreds of videos and have been reading Catholic literature since. I’m all in and can’t wait to become Catholic. I’m currently attending mass as often as I can, signed up for the rciaa classes, and I’m taking a drink from the Catholic fire hose! You have been such a huge part of that and such a blessing on my journey. Thank you doesn’t even do it justice, but with all my heart and love, thank you!
Praise God for your journey!
Yes! Please produce! It's good. Fr.Mike knows how to tell God's story of love & salvation in a wonderful faith filled manner. Children would be better reached this way. Adults would also enjoy. The animation was well done.
People are thirsting for God's word and hungry for understanding it.
Please produce. 😇❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thanks for the support! 💛
This is wonderful. Request if more bite sized videos like these are made on Jesus' teachings, major events of New testament, the saints and life of priests. Helps to make children and young adults understand the faith in a fun and quick way.
Yes please more of such contant on a variety of Catholic topics!
Fr. Mike Schmitz is like the Steve Irwin of the Catholic Church. He teaches you to fall in love with God and the Church in the most passionate way. God Bless him :)
Wow! Fr. Mike and the Bible in a year has truly opened my eyes to our story of salvation! A cradle catholic and it was through this podcast my faith was renewed, ignited and understood! Love, love this video and animation! A simple short story filled with so much love of our Father! Listen to the podcast, you will find yourself there, in the story, and feel God's love for you! Way to go Father Mike and Ascension Press! ❤
Good morning Melissa how are you doing today
Amazing...Born and raised Catholic...Spent 10 yrs in an amazing SBC bible based church and now back home where we belong in the Catholic Church...Now I'm learning and relearning with more passion than ever and it all started with our oldest and youngest boys deciding on their own to join the Church!!
Fr. Mike, thank you for serving God with your talents. I ask for prayers for my marriage, family, and extended family's needs of deliverance from evil, doubt, and attachment to sin and for healing, conversion, and intercession. 🙏
Thank you Father Mike Schmidt for the narration of the Bible! I really like the video! May God bless you and your family abundantly 🙏🙌😊
Good morning Linda how are you doing today
Once again Fr Mike nails it!! Thanks Fr Mike for all you do!
Good morning Cindy how are you doing today
Jesus, protect Fr. Mike with Your Precious Blood
Hello Christina
Well done! God bless everyone who is a part of this project 🙏 ♥️ May God’s love and healing touch everyone who sees this. God sees you and loves you, no matter what you’re going through!!
Thank you, may God bless you! 💛
I can’t begin to describe how going through the bible in a year with Father Schmitz and now this 10 minute video has blessed my life. My faith is so much deeper and stronger because of Father Schmitz. Sunday homilies - they are AMAZING. 💜🙏
Good morning Cindy how are you doing today
I used to avoid the Old Testament books because the story is kinda wild and violence but after following BIAY this year, it wasn't bad at all thanks to Fr Mike explanation and reflection, couldn't do it without you guys :)) gbu all
Bible in a year and Catechism in a year are wonderful!! Thanks to everyone that had a hand in each and huge gratitude and love for Fr Mike. This video is amazing!! More please. No doubt they'll be blessings to many and will bring many to the fullness of truth!! Praise be Jesus Christ! Now and forever!
Father Mike - You are so talented at bringing stories to life in not just how you speak, but the emotion and love that one can see and hear in your presentation of our faith. This presentation style is amazing. Keep doing what you are doing…… “Lead My Sheep”!!!!!
Thank you Fr. Mike for all that you do. These videos that you make do bring hope to people, and we could not be more grateful for you! It reminds me of how Jesus told Peter "feed my sheep." You are truly living for Christ and feeding his sheep. THANKS BE TO GOD
I have known the Lord and walked with Him for over 50 years. During that time I have been a serious student of the Bible. It was absolutely delightful to go through Catechism in Year last year (recommended by my sister-in-law), and this year, Bible in a Year. What I have enjoyed the most is reading the testimonies of so many changed lives, young and old, from every walk of life, every experience in the CIY and BIY posts: people discovering the abundant life that Christ offers to us in Him. I am thankful that Fr. Mike answered the call, and has been at the forefront today of being a vessel used by God, and with his team, to lead people in their return to the Great Shepherd of our souls. Unspeakable joy!
Good morning Deborah how are you doing today
Fr. Mike is very engaging and leads you through the bible with such ease and insight.
Good morning Tina how are you doing today
I am currently on my 3rd go round of Bible in A Year. And I am still learning more about our God and His Word each time I go through it. I love this little animated video but I just love Fr. Mike for all he has done to help me increase in my faith and love of God. He is the best and so is Ascension!
Why is it that when Ascension releases this kind of content it specially when Father Mike presents it always touches my heart to the point of bringing me to tears 🥹😊
I'm so glad I've found Ascension, Father Schmitz and the Chosen. I learned so much more about being Catholic in this uncertainty
Good morning Allen how are you doing today
I've listened to BIY every year since the beginning. It brought me back to Christianity and the Catholic church. Every year I listen to it I learn more. I'm also in my second year of listening to CIY. I thank God for Ascension Press and Fr. Mike.
I love this video! Four months into a Bible in a Year and I finally understood where God was calling me to be! Life changing!
Good morning Kristina how are you doing today
Ascension press is truly a blessing in my life. Thank you
Good morning Kate how are you doing today
Yes, please make more of these videos. Many of us use "The Bible Project' videos because of the visual creativity and good content, but a Catholic perspectic in this fashion is very needed for all ages!
Today is my birthday and this is what i needed right now.
Thank you Fr. Mike and Ascension for making this video. Absolutely beautiful and Fr. Mike's narration is beautiful as always. God Bless you all! 🫶🙏
Good morning Cassie how are you doing today
Thank you Fr Mike
Bible in a Year is absolutely amazing. Father Mike’s podcast is a game changer and it is really helping me on my faith journey. I do think it would be great if Ascension could create an animated series that helps summarize each book of the Bible and how it points to Christ. I would definitely watch those videos. Thank you, Father Mike!!! You are helping thousands of people.
Good morning friend how are you doing today
Holy Spirit come! Fill the minds and hearts of all humanity with your goodness! Thank you Fr. Mike and Ascension for creating this content. Praying for you!
Believe in One God. God don't eat or drink He is not born nor He tastes death and there is nothing like Him. God created death for a reason.
@@qasimalmani647 Unfortunately, you are incorrect. You have been deceived.
Father mike... God is using you in powerful ways to help lots of us.... Thanks God you came into our lives. We are grateful ... AMEN
This video is beautiful and Fr Mike is so amazing, he has truly followed his calling from the Lord. May the BIY and Fr Mike be blessed to overflowing.
Good morning Annie how are you doing today
Wonderful synopsis that a wide variety of people can understand and relate to. Thank you Ascension and Fr. Mike, Jeff Cavins, and everyone involved in these projects helping us to dive into God's word for the purpose of our sanctification and transformation. May the world truly be set on fire with love as more and more people own their God-given identity as sons and daughters of the Father.
I love this! Got 10 minutes? Get Jesus!❤❤
Good morning Peggy how are you doing today
Following Fr. Mike's Bible in a Year was the most pivotal time of my life. It had enriched my life beyond words. Thank you, Father Mike!
