0:14.1	You might ask a question, though.
0:15.5	The question is, what does ascension do with these financial gifts?
0:18.7	Great question.
0:19.3	The answer is we make authentically
0:21.2	Catholic podcasts and videos and other digital content to help people know the Catholic faith and

0:53.2	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 326. We're reading the Acts of the Apostles chapter 5 and Romans, St. Paul's Letter to the Romans chapter 8, as well as Proverbs chapter 27 verses 7 through 9. As always, the Bible translation that 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. You can also subscribe
1:30.7	to this podcast by clicking on subscribe and receiving daily episodes and daily updates. As I noted,
1:36.0	today's day 326. I think I said that. We're only reading two chapters. One is Acts chapter five
1:41.5	and the other is Romans chapter eight. Pretty phenomenal chapters, really big
1:45.7	deal chapters when it comes to Romans. Well, of course, all of the Bible is inspired, but Romans
1:50.4	chapter 8 is very significant. So again, Acts of the Apostles chapter 5, St. Paul's letter to
1:55.6	the Romans chapter 8 as well as Proverbs chapter 27 verses 7 through 9. The Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 5. Ananias and Sapphira.
