I'm your name's Father Mike Schmitz and you're listening to the Catechism in a year podcast.

So between now and January 1st, we'll be releasing special bonus like pre-launch episodes

that will help us get ready for this journey of the Catechism next year.

Today is our kind of our first major, I think I've got for a significant pre-launch episode

that we have.

And with me is Jeff Kavins, who is going to be our special guest that introduces not only

kind of the whole Catechism and the foundation of the faith approach, but also this first

pillar of the Catechism later on when we officially begin our journey.

So as you probably know, the Catechism has four pillars and so each one of those pillars

gives me a special conversation with someone special, helping us to understand like scripture

and tradition and how those are inextricably connected, you know, that connection between

scripture and tradition and again, without anything further, I'm just so excited to

have him on the beginning of this new podcast.

Jeff, welcome.

It's good to be with you father.

Here we go again.

It's fun.

I know back again.

How good is this?

So, you know, as we're starting, we thought, you know, the best thing to start this new

podcast is with the two original people from the previous podcast and to be able to have

just your words.
