‘The Bible in a Year’ podcast is back — this time for the whole family

“The Bible in a Year” podcast hosted by Father Mike Schmitz became a global sensation after its debut in 2021, helping millions around the world encounter the word of God. Now, the popular podcast from Ascension is back — but with a twist: “The Bible in a Year: Family Edition,” hosted by Father Josh Johnson, launches on Jan. 1, 2027.

The new podcast is designed for families with children ranging in age from 7 to 12. Using both video and audio, families will be guided through the story of salvation in 365 daily episodes using readings from Ascension’s upcoming “The Great Adventure Catholic Bible for Beginners."
