With more than 6 million cumulative downloads and over two weeks in the first spot of the Apple podcast charts, Ascension’s The Bible in a Year podcast, hosted by Father Mike Schmitz and featuring Jeff Cavins, has supplanted many secular news syndicate podcasts with true “Good News.”
In this daily, 18- to 20-minute podcast, Father Schmitz takes on the Goliathan task of reading through the entire Bible in a set of 365 segments. Father Schmitz is no rookie to the podcasting world. Since 2015, he has been working on video and audio recordings with Ascension Presents while serving in his Diocese of Duluth, Minnesota. Yet this new project has captured the interest and hearts of many listeners. He recently spoke with the Register about the concept, the process and the need to delve deeper into Scripture.
