Below is a press release that is published in its entirety by permission. There are even more exciting things in store.

The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)™ featuring Jeff Cavins launched with explosive popularity this year, shooting to the #1 position on Apple Podcasts in all categories and remaining there from January 2 – 18, 2021.

In a press conference last week, Ascension announced several new initiatives designed to highlight the show’s enduring success and reach even more souls with God’s Word:

A New Year’s Eve billboard in Times Square promoting the podcast at 7th Ave & 48th St, New York City (Dec 19, 2021 – Jan 9, 2022)

**La Biblia en un año Podcast:**The launch of an all-new Spanish-language version of the Bible in a Year podcast with original commentary and a new, native-Spanish speaking host (Jan 1, 2022)

“The Bible in a Year Retreat” Virtual Event for Bible in a Year listeners designed to help Catholics cultivate a lifelong relationship with the Word of God – one that extends far beyond the podcast. (limited capacity; Feb 18 – 20, 2022)

Ascension, the podcast producer, has shared that current stats for The Bible in a Year reveal 464,000 daily downloads, of which 90% are U.S.-based listeners.

That U.S. audience of 418,000 would fill the largest football stadium in the country, that of the University of Michigan, 4 times over.

“Through distraction and distress, our culture has lost a hopeful, historical biblical worldview – but by the grace of God this podcast has helped thousands rediscover it,” comments Podcast Host, Fr. Mike Schmitz.

He continues, “We’re humbled by testimonials from people of all walks of life who’ve started to apply a biblical worldview to their lives – gaining clarity on God’s will, overcoming addictions, returning to the sacraments or are converting to Catholicism, renewing marriages and relationships – and many more incredible stories.”
