Hi, my name's 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

Exodus chapter 3, just one chapter in Exodus, but also Leviticus chapter 2 and 3, as well as Psalm 45.
