Both the segment and the podcast received high compliments from countless social media users.
Here’s what some Facebook users said:
Tnh Scot said, “I’m a [lifelong] Catholic but ashamed to admit that I never really read the Bible completely – so dry [and] difficult to understand. But I started listening to Fr. Mike’s [‘Bible in a Year’] during COVID, and loved his delivery and explanations.
“He makes it interesting [and] easy to understand. [I’m] grateful he [and] Jeff Cavins made this available to everyone! Hopefully, more people will listen after this story on CBS.”
Peggy Lee also said, “I did this in 2021 and my faith has grown immensely. Loved Father Mike. It was a very worthwhile use of my time. It is a commitment, and one that will be with you always. Was surprised to see this aired on CBS, a station I never watch – so thank you for posting. Perhaps Fox and EWTN will carry this.”
OBanny Chick added, “I started on October 10, 2021. I am on day 175. It has profoundly changed my life. Drawing closer to God makes me more appreciative of the love and mercy that God has for us. Whatever the world is dishing out is false.”
Lynn B. Vaughn also commented, “This Baptist preacher’s wife is loving the Hallow App, ‘Bible in a Year’, and Daily Reflections! Glory be to God!”
Pray for Fr. Mike Schmitz and his mission to spread the Gospel!
