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. It is day 85, and we're reading today from Joshua chapters 12, 13, and 14. We're also praying Psalm 129. As always, I am reading from the Revised Standard Version, the Second Catholic Edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension, which is just such a gift, especially when we're in the midst of the period of conquest and judges.
It gives some backstory. It gives a great summary at the beginning of every one of these time periods and kind of gives us an orientation of here's where we are, here's where we're going. If you want to also know here's where we are and here's where we're going, you can download your own Bible in a Year reading plan by visiting ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a Year, and you'll be able to cross out those dates and those dates chapters. I do it every day. I have this blue marker that I just like mark off every day. And it's just such a great gift of being able to say, yeah, we're moving and we're still cruising along and going through the Bible and marking up our Bibles and writing down these things that these insights that the Lord is giving to us.
It's just such an incredible gift. You can also subscribe in your podcast app to this podcast to receive the daily episodes, which are put out pretty much every day, as you would expect daily episodes to be put out. So once again, it's day 85. We're reading from Joshua chapter 12, 13, and 14. We'll also be praying Psalm 129. the book of Joshua chapter 12, the kings conquered by Moses.
