Hi, my name is 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 today. Today, I am joined by Jeff Cavins to introduce the third time period of the Great Adventure Bible Timeline. This third time period after the patriarchs is called Egypt and the Exodus.
And before we begin, a couple of things. One, stuff you probably already know by this point. The Bible translation that I'm using is the Revised Standard Version, the Second Catholic Edition, and I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

Speaking of being free to do whatever you want to do.
One thing that has been just placed on my heart, I just want to encourage people, is I know the hardest day to read the Bible or the hardest day to pray is the day after the day you don't. It's that I had a busy weekend and I just, I fell off the wagon. How do I get back on? I need to catch up. I'm falling behind.
There is truly no such thing as falling behind when it comes to this Bible in a year. What it is, is You probably have noticed it, but up until this day, I have not said, oh, today is January 21st or today is March 2nd. I've just said this is the day 23 or this is day 34. That's on purpose. And that's so that you don't feel bound to listen every single day and being perfect. No, please no.
Please no. The hardest day to pray is the day after the day you don't. And the hardest day to read the Bible is the day after the day you don't. but simply pick it up and start again. It's no problem. If you don't finish by December 31st, 2021, that is okay because it means you are still allowing the Lord to speak to your heart. God is not asking for perfection in this.
He is just asking for faithfulness. And so just be faithful. And when you drop it, pick it back up. That's all I just wanted to encourage you. But as I said, I'm joined today by Jeff Cavins. Jeff, as I said, is the inventor of the Great Adventure Bible and the Great Adventure Bible timeline. And he's joining us today as we launch into this next time period, Egypt and Exodus.
And Jeff, thank you so much for being willing to help all those who are listening to this podcast know where we are and give us some bearings about this next step that the people of Israel, our family tree, is taking.
