What is the purpose of the Bible in a Year podcast?
Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and I want to welcome you to the Bible in a Year podcast. With me today is Mr. none other than the illustrious, the inimitable, the incomparable, the infamous, Mr. Jeff Cavins. Hey, good to be with you. jess i'm so grateful um for actually we're gonna as we kick off like this this this podcast is bible in a year podcast um one of the things that i think it needs to be said before anything else is that um this bible linear podcast is following basically a um template that you designed that that you came upon when it came to the great adventure bible timeline which has probably i don't want to just start this whole thing off by by going over the top but for me i've said this many times i've told this to anyone who asks or anyone who will listen uh that that great adventure bible timeline was the most significant um most significant tool that i've ever encountered that ever um i've ever used that has gotten me more uh
Nothing has been better to get me more deeply into the Bible than the Great Adventure Bible Timeline. And I'm just really grateful, not only for you and for that, but also that here you are now as we begin this Catholic Bible or the Bible in a Year podcast, that we get to use this thing that has changed my life maybe more than any other study I've ever done in my entire life.
So thank you. I appreciate that very much. And you and I have known each other for quite a while, and it's a lot of fun getting together because we talk about the Word of God constantly, and we're always sharing insights.
How did the Great Adventure Bible Timeline change the hosts' lives?
And myself included, you mentioned the tool as far as your own life, mine too. People come up so often and they say, wow, that really changed my life, the Bible timeline. I said, well, not as much as mine. I had no idea. And we can talk about that a little bit later, but I had no idea that when I was 25 years old that a 48-hour period was going to define the rest of my life and I was going to live in it. But, you know, it speaks of the story, really not us, but the story of salvation history. And that's what you're going to be bringing people through. So it's going to be exciting.
Yeah, I'm overwhelmingly excited about it for not only for like anyone who's going to be listening to this and going to be journeying with us, but for even the people that I know that are in my life. So I have a sister and a brother-in-law.
What personal experiences do the hosts share about their relationship with the Bible?
I have a couple of sisters and brothers-in-law, but one in particular who got the Great Adventure Bible maybe, I guess, maybe three or four months ago now. and maybe a little longer than that, I think it was April. Who knows? Time just all happens. But she not only got the Great Adventure Bible, but she also was like, hey, what's a good Bible study? I'm like, okay, the Great Adventure Bible timeline, you need to do it. So she and her husband, started it and I was over at their house a couple days ago and I picked up her Great Adventure Bible and I saw that that ribbon was still somewhere in the book of Genesis and I'm like, oh, I'm so grateful because the podcast is gonna help people who are trying to get through, who just like, you know, you kind of bottom out sometimes or you just kind of get...
the log jam becomes so much that it's like, oh, how do I break through to the next book and keep on moving? Because that's one of the things that I found when it came to reading the Bible and when it came to doing the Great Adventure Bible timeline is that sometimes it was like, oh, shoot, I can't sit down right now or I'm not finding the time or making the time to sit down and reading through the next section.
How can listeners engage with the Bible daily through this podcast?
That the whole idea behind the podcast is like, okay, no, you just get to let the word of God like kind of wash over you in a different way. Um, and to be able to not just get through it, that's not the point, but the, to allow it to get through to you really, uh, by the word of God being proclaimed. So, so not only for the people who will be listening, but also for my family members who, um, you know, all of us at times can struggle to like, let's keep on going.
