Hi, my name is 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 into that story today.

It is day 318. We are reading from Luke chapter 13, 14, 15, and 16. Four chapters today. We're also reading

Proverbs chapter 26 verses 10 through 12. As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the revised

standard version, the second Catholic edition. I'm using the great adventure Bible from Ascension.
