  • Friends, recently I had the privilege of speaking with Fr. Mike Schmitz, the host of the popular podcast “The Bible in a Year” and a contributor at ‪@AscensionPresents‬. We cover a variety of topics in our conversation, including our vocation stories, our early starts to our TH-cam content, our favorite movies, arguing on social media, and much more. We share what inspired us to take creative new approaches to the Bible, and how the success of these projects reveals a hunger for a deeper understanding of Scripture.

    I love how they talked about the stickiness of the internet! I had left the Catholic church and joined an evangelical church with no intention of coming back. I found the Bible Project and went through their bible in a year and learned so much from their podcasts and ministry. They are truly godly men! Well, somehow, I came across Bishop Baron and loved his ability to communicate the richness of the intellectual history of the church and the existence of God, etc. And then Fr Mike and his exuberant love for the Lord spoke to me. All the while the Holy Spirit was inviting me back into full communion and I realized that I needed the grace of Body of Christ to live my mission here! So I returned! PRAISE God! And thank you for these two men.

I saw Bishop on lex Friedman and Jordan Peterson and then found fr Mike during my RCIA journey catechism in a year. I’m so thankful for these two! Absolutely. I was confirmed in aug 2023. Thru Bishops perspective I saw the lord of the rings in a very Catholic light. Bishops lecture on the Mass was THE one that hand fed the Eucharist to me. I had a surgery halfway thru my RCIA break and I found that lecture and have not missed another Mass except when I had COVID one week. I listen to hallow fr Mike daily homily too every morning

Years later, when I was having a crisis of faith in college, God reminded me of that video and I read your book based on the series. It really helped me form my faith. Now, I am a 4th, 5th, and 6th grade religion teacher, and God reminds me daily that I am sewing seeds. I don't know what seeds God is sewing, but I trust Him to do His work in their lives.

    My two favorite people! I love Father Mike’s twinkling eyes & youthful approach while Bishop Barron is so knowledgable. Both Sunday sermons are so interesting. Both priests together is like winning the lottery! Best of the best. God bless you both for allowing the Holy Spirit to shine thru you & being Jesus’ hands & feet to His people. 🙏🏻

It’s very tempting to turn to my inner fighting spirit which is incredibly unproductive. Please don’t stop. ❤

    I've been blessed to have both bibles and strive connecting with God more through the Word.
    May God continue to bless you both for sharing your annointing and wisdom. 🙏

    I’m glad you two are easy to access through TH-cam. My curiosity started with podcasts like JRE, Jordan Peterson, and my own priest (he’s upload Sunday homilies).
    I grew up Catholic, went to Spanish mass on Sundays (I couldn’t connect to it - I was absent minded), and wandered back. There’s a lot I don’t know but thanks to the two of you I’ve been finding answers. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

    I'm grateful to have had the chance to listen to Bishop Barron channel...I was born and raised Catholic, but unfortunately I never really understood my religion because no priest or mass ever explained anything clearly. I had so many questions and they were never answered. The Catholic population needs people like Bishop Barron to believe in Catholicism again.

    Bishop Barron hit the nail on the head when he said about giving the people an overview of the Bible. That was the problem I faced every Sunday, the different readings, it was difficult to connect and understand. So when I came across Bishop Barron and Fr Mike's podcasts, it opened the Bible up for me. Still following! Thank you dear gentlemen. God Bless the both of you!!

When churches closed for the pandemic, my mass choice was with Bishop Barron. When those ended I found Fr. Mike, who is actually from a nearby diocese. Both of you had a hand in helping me keep the faith these last 2 years. God bless you both!
