Believe it or not, the number one Apple podcast right now is not a news show or murder mystery – it s a Bible study podcast.
The Catholic group Ascension has launched Bible in a Year and it s sure to educate and entertain listeners.
Hosted by Father Mike Schmitz, the podcast contains a wide range of powerful stories as well as the actual story of the Bible. I think that s probably what people are realizing – that they need maybe more than they have in the past, said Father Schmitz on the podcast s popularity.
