Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast,

where we encounter God's voice in 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 106 and we just concluded seven days of reading the Gospel of John,

which is such a gift I know at the same time reading through the Gospel of John in seven days,

means that we had quite a lot of content with not a lot of commentary, which is probably okay,

because the most important part of this podcast is the actual Scripture being proclaimed.

But this is, as I said, day 106.

We're going into the royal kingdom.

So we left off with the first Samuel 6 through 8, and then we took a seven day break with the

Gospel of John.

Now we're entering into the period of the royal kingdom.

We're going to be introduced to Saul today in first Samuel chapter 9 and 10.

We're also reading from the Book of Proverbs, like we did the last couple days,

and Proverbs chapter 6 verses 23 through 35.

As always, the Bible translation that I'm reading from is the revised standard version,

second Catholic edition.

I am using the great adventure Bible from Ascension.
