The Bible in a Year (with Father Mike Schmitz) took me two years, but that's ok. What matters is that I went back and picked up where I left off. I finished and am happy to say I've read the whole Bible.
I've always wanted to but felt intimidated by the size and because I was not sure I would understand what I was reading. If I had read the Bible on my own I would have been so confused because I didn't realize before that the Bible is not linear. I would have given up. I love that this edition is organized into color coded sections by time period. Brilliant! The charts, the maps and the BiaY reading plan was just how I like to have things organized so it is easy to follow.
The Bible is not just a spiritual guide, a moral code, and a historical document. It's the story of how we're broken and but God uses our brokenness for good. I see how times change and people don't. The same things happening today have been happening over and over. If you think you are living in the worst of times then go read the Bible, and any history book. But we have hope because there is redemption through Jesus. There is God's grace and mercy.
I would just love to give thanks and say God bless Father Mike Schmitz, Jeff Cavins, and everyone at Ascension for working so hard to bring The Bible in a Year podcast to the world. Sure I hear the readings at mass, but with the podcast I understand the context now. And Father Mike was just the right person for this. His dorky charisma is inviting and relatable. Even when the topic was serious you felt like he understood the struggle and knew how to give hope to anyone listening.
I kept a notebook (but I started late) and I got the Companion volumes. So even though I completed the podcast I'll be starting all over to see what I missed and just because reading scripture is not a one time thing. "For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need some one to teach you again the first principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food;" - Hebrews 5:12
It's an ongoing journey, and I have to admit knowing more about the Bible has helped me navigate and understand the ups and downs of life. And answer more clues correctly on Jeopardy! Haha. But really, what is most important is knowing the word of God and bettering ourselves to know Him and His will for us.
