Fr. Mike Schmitz

Hi, I'm Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture.

The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension.

Using the Great Adventure Bible Timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story.

This is day one, so let's get started.

A couple of reminders is that we're using the Bible translation of the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition.

That's the RSVCE.

I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

And if you're interested in getting the Bible reading plan that we're using, you can download the Bible in a Year reading plan by visiting ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a Year.

That's ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a Year, all one word.

The Bible reading plan is based off of

the great adventure Bible timeline and the Bible timeline created by Jeff Cavins covers the 14 narrative books of the old Testament and the new Testament.

So that you get the entire story of salvation in a really creative way.

We're also including these supplemental books or the non narrative books in

along the way with those 14 narrative books.

So while you're hearing the story unfold and being unpacked and being proclaimed to you, you're also going to be getting like, here's where those other books, those non-narrative books fit in to the great story.

You can subscribe at your podcast app, wherever you listen to podcasts.

And you can also sign up for our email list by texting the word Catholic Bible, all one word, Catholic Bible, to the number 33777.

Today, we will be reading from Genesis chapter 1 and Genesis chapter 2, the first two chapters of Genesis, as well as Psalm 19.

As we launch into Genesis 1 and 2, we're going to hear both stories of creation.

This is the early world period in the Great Adventure Bible timeline.
