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 indimitable, the incomparable, the infamous

Mr. Jeff Kavens.

Hey, good to be with you.

I'm so grateful.

Actually, we're going to, as we kick off like this, this podcast, this Bible in a year podcast,

one of the things that I think needs to be said before anything else is that this Bible

in a year podcast is following basically a template that you designed, 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 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.

That Great Adventure Bible timeline was the most significant, most significant tool that

I've ever encountered that ever I've ever used that has gotten me more, there's 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.

Well, that's, 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.
