Hey everyone, before we get started today, I want to let you know the Bible in a year has brought the Word of God to so many people. As you know, you're part of this community, changing lives and in so many incredible ways. We're humbled to play this role in God's plan and consider it our ongoing mission to keep bringing the Word of God to as many people as possible. So what I'm saying is the end of this year is not going to be the end of Bible in a year. So far, Ascension has been able to add the podcast to YouTube.

You might have found it that way. Maybe you're watching right now on YouTube. And also we're working on translating it into different languages so you could have the Bible in a year in other languages than English. But of course, this takes a significant investment to bring projects like these,

you know, free of cost to our listening communities. And we want to keep them free of cost to all

those people who participate because we want to get the Word of God out there. And because of that,

we have to rely on generous contributions from listeners like you to help defray these costs

and to enable us to continually provide new audiences with this life-changing content.

So if you would like to help support the Bible in a year mission, you can go to

Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmits, 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 320. We have only this day and tomorrow left for the Gospel of Luke.

And then we launch into the last age, the church now, essentially.

And that is great.

We're reading Luke chapter 20 to chapter 22, verse 38.

And then we'll pick up and conclude the Gospel of Luke tomorrow morning, or tomorrow whenever you listen.

Al as well as Proverbs chapter 26 versus 17 through 19.

As always,

the Bible translation I'm reading from is the revised standard version, second Catholic edition. I'm using the great adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in a year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a year. And I know that a lot of you have good reasons to not subscribe to this podcast. but, you know what happens is in these last couple months if you

I think there's maybe 5,000 reviews or so of the podcast if you were to go to iTunes

and everyone who's listening today were to review it again give it maybe five stars I

don't know you don't have to give it five stars but if you did that what would happen

is it would bump back up to maybe the top five who Who knows? Maybe even higher than top five. Because sometimes they look at the algorithm and see not just how many downloads there are, but how many people are reviewing it. So I'm not saying you have to, but it kind of be like a good, I don't know, fun little end of the year situation where you could just say, I might as well go down there and do that. You don't have to,

obviously. This is for you. This is for the Lord. It's day 320. We're reading Luke chapter 20 to chapter 22, verse 38, as well as Proverbs 26 verses 17 through 19.
