Matt asks Jeff a personal one, when "the Bible in a Year," which Jeff Cavins helped create, podcast blew up, did he feel jealous when Fr. Mike Schmitz got more of the 'glory?'

The fact that he was not insulted by Matt's brutally honest question speaks volumes. Humility!!!
AND answered it totally honestly!
Yes, Fr. Mike is awesome but Jeff Cavins is just as awesome. Every time I listen to him I am enlightened and given a handful of nuggets to contemplate on. Thank you Lord for inspiring Jeff and passing the torch to Fr. Mike to run with it. Thank you Mr. Cavins for accepting God’s plan for you. With your foundational beginnings many people will be reached and many souls will be saved. Thank you for your transparency and example of how to overcome a very common but challenging human emotion. Praying for you and God bless. 😊
You know the old saying about someone standing on the shoulders of giants to see farther. Well this man is the “shoulders” for Fr. Mike. Good job , sir!
When I went to the March for life rally earlier this year in DC, we had so so many wonderful speakers. But it was undeniable that everyone there was waiting for Fr. Mike Schmitz. They anticipated him so much. Each guest speaker would come out and you could hear a quiet sigh of frustration because everyone thought it was Fr. Mike Schmitz that was the next guest but it wasn’t. They actually had him be the last speaker. He’s a kind and holy man. May God bless him and continue to use him to evangelize the world.
Did he mention the child abuse scandals ongoing in his church while you were on the subject of saving children?
@@kevinkelly2162
Child abuse happens everywhere, and it is way more common in schools
Of course it is still evil, but let's mot pretend that this is a "Catholic only" problem
Don't buy the propganda
Unless of course you don't care about truth
You just want to attack the Church
@@MZONE991 When a school finds a teacher abusing kids do they send the teacher away to another school in another district where they can continue abusing other children? Your church does that with priests. Do schools refuse to work with the authorities to protect child abusing teachers? Your church does. Do schools claim to be representing God on Earth? Your church does. Every penny you put in the plate goes towards a child abusing criminal organisation. Can you point out which of these statements is untrue?
@@kevinkelly2162 Evil exists everywhere, we not perfect. Nevertheless, the Church is doing its absolute best in order to rid of these abhorrent sins within its walls. It's not even Catholics who suffer these atrocities, look at the Baptist scandal that's just been uncovered? Don't heed to division, pray with us!
@@kevinkelly2162 dude u must really hatethe teachers union as 1000's more children have been molested by teachers than by priests
Fr Mike has looks but it is his love of God that shines the most.
I first heard about the Bible Timeline through the Bible-in-a-Year podcast hosted by Fr Mike Schmitz. Recently, I started the 6-month Bible Timeline Study Program created by Jeff Cavins. I have always wanted to read and understand the Bible but would get stumped at difficult passages and then give up. For the first time in my life, I am finally able to comprehend God's words at a deeper level. The words are coming to life and changing my life! Jeff is brilliant and a genius. I am forever grateful for the work that he did and continues to do.
I actually liked this question. Everyone has a "Jobs/Wozniak" experience at least once in their life when working on a project. One person does most of the work and the other person becomes the face of it and gets most of the credit. It's a good lesson for every Christian to not burn with envy, accept their role, and be happy for both themselves and their partner. It's also important to note that what was achieved would not have been possible without either person playing their part.
Fr. Mike didn’t do less work in my opinion. He read every verse of the Bible, Prayed, explained for 365 days. He didn’t finish until Dec. 2021
The litany of humility helps tremendously with situations like this
You’re so right, Alexa, but boy-oh-boy, when Jesus allows the Litany to actually start happening TO us, whoa-buckle up for the ride!!! Have you experienced the initial “shock” of practicing that prayer? God bless you.
Jeff Cavins has a major part in the audio series, introducing each era. I am impressed by his honesty here, but I am not suprised. It's his love, of God and His Word, and his brothers and sisters that lead him to this remarkable work. That same love keeps him from resenting Fr Mike Schmitz.
Haven't we all been slighted at some point in our lives and felt that sting of pride? It's so humbling. I appreciate his honesty and the way he turned it around to see God's greater purpose for he and Fr. Mike.
I have started listening to Jeff since listening to BIAY and I am so thankful to have his insights and his beautiful daily reflections on Hallow. Thank you so much Jeff! You're such a beautiful blessed soul!
I love "Bible in a Year" & I love both Jeff Cavins AND Fr. Mike. The combined work of these two holy men has allowed BIAY to become a powerhouse medium for bringing God to the world. I am so grateful for them both & for their ability to allow their love of God to supersede any ego that would have interfered.
However I try to say these next comments, it's likely to come out wrong, so I will say, "mea culpa" ahead; please forgive me ... both Jeff & Fr. Mike are intelligent, attractive, Godly men, but each has his own particular levels of the same talents that have been maximized in the role each has played, in order to gain a brilliant end-result.
Jeff's intellectual, scholarly, & creative abilities gave birth to incredible content & incredible insights in ways that have made God's word so much more digestible. His intro to each new section is approachable & flawless & I very much NEED Jeff's intros to help me relate to what is coming next.
Fr. Mike's exceedingly approachable, somewhat "ADD-ways" including his effusive love & wonder of God & scripture, along with his humble presentation, often with tiny mistakes here or there (which he humbly accepts, corrects, & then keeps going), makes one feel, "he's just like me... he's not perfect & I can relate!" His commentary on each day's readings is presented with humility, sensitivity, & insightfulness.
Fr. Mike is SO obviously cognizant of, humbled by, & incredibly grateful for the amazing work & contributions of Jeff Cavins to this project, & it is the combination of these two men's God-given gifts/contributions which has finally gotten me through the entire Bible for the first time in my cradle-Catholic life! (And now started on year 2!) God's hand is so obviously all over this project, & I am HUGELY grateful!

You couldn't have said it better.
I thank God and prayed every day for both Fr. Mike and Mr. Cavins, because even though I've been baptized Catholic since I was an infant, it wasn't until I listened to the BIAY podcast that I actually really fell in love with Catholicism and appreciated just how rich and beautiful and wonderful the teachings of the Catholic Church actually is.
I'm trying to get through year 2 as well, and it amazes me just how much more I am still learning from the podcast.
Jeff Cavins laid the foundation but it seems God wanted Father Mike to spread it. It's beautiful.
In God's vineyard, one prepares the soul, another plants the seeds, another waters and cultivates it then the Harvesters comes and gathers the fruits of the harvest. Each contributes and does not claim the fruits as their own. Jeff knows this too well. It is not his work but God's work. True indeed Jeff Calvin's and others like Scott Hahn are our modern Apostles fired with spreading the Word of God, not competing with each other but collaborating with each other for the Kingdom of God.
David gathered the best materials for a Temple, but passed them on to Solomon, and Solomon built the Temple, all in an effort to build the Kingdom here on earth. Thank you Jeff Cavins and Fr Mike, for building the Kingdom for us.
Glad to see the man behind the great adventure Bible! Fr Mike mentions it in his sessions n i wondered who he is and how wonderful it is that he doesn't mind not being in the limelight! And I sometimes pray that with all this exposure and "adulation", Fr Mike will remain grounded.
Much as I like Fr Mike, sometimes he's just too much for an older person. He gets too hyped up. I listen to you on Hallow everyday and love it. Blessings from Australia.
You can adjust the speed in the application. I also had to slow down Father Mike so I cold understand him better.
Even as a "younger" person, he's too much for me. Even though his work is amazing and an inspiration for many
It’s the coffee.
what about Fr Goring and Taylor Marshall?
Fr. Goring is a beautiful example of real faith lived.
Dr. Taylor is a big-eared genuinely devout Catholic who I wish would come home to us.
Fr. Casey is a socially awkward Franciscan who has wisdom and youth the Church needs. Sometimes this wisdom shines forth, but at other times he is hindered by the influence of the older friars who are in need of prayer.
To admit ego is humility too. Thank you Mr Jeff Cavins for TGAB and timeline. It helped me so much in my study where I NEVER understood the bible chronology, where the books fits in although there were so many timelines available in the past. Your timeline is genius!
Man, you truly interview the best guests! Great work!
With the Bible in a Year it seems to me perfectly clear who is who. Mr. Cavins has always been a firm presence. I’m very grateful for his work! I also never miss his Daily Reflection on Hallow. Again, very grateful.
I read stories of the saints and they talk about how this saint knew that saint whilst they were each doing their thing and I wonder what that must have been like to live in those times and know these saints who were walking around, if not personally then at least by name and reputation.
And then I feel like we are living the same way, when in times to come perhaps (please God) these beautiful Catholic witnesses, Cavins, Hahn, Schmidt, (you too Matt!) will be proclaimed saints and we can think … hey, I knew these guys!
Jeff you are a humble holy man. You are so sincere and honest. Love that and respect that so much about you. Honestly when I think of Fr. Mike do the BIAY you are right there with him in and through it all. Know that this is your project and it’s now open to a greater part of the world. As God has used you both to get this to what it is Ana what it will continue to be. God bless you
Both for all that you are doing. Remember it’s never about us but all about God! Amen 🙏🏼
Trust in God he knows what he is doing he needed both of them to make it perfect🙏
Great question!!
Great answer!!!
Aw man, I just love Jeff Cavins. Heard his voice explaining the bible on the radio (with true warmth, intelligence and understanding) ever since I was a kid. He truly is a rather overlooked evangelical Catholic hero that doesn't get the attention he arguably deserves, for being one of the first to make inroads that now people like Fr. Schmitz are succeeding in. God bless him.
Love this and Jeff Cavins, ah, one of my heroes!!
Fr. Mike makes it very clear that Jeff Cavins is the creator and Jeff gives an overview at the start of each new period of the timeline. If you just pulled those episodes together you’d have a great 3-hour overview of the Bible.
This was a great question although as I think Jeff is key to the podcast I wouldn’t have thought to ask it.
Thank you Jeff for all your content! I listen to you daily! Love your daily reflections on Hallow . God bless you.
If it wasn’t for God using Fr Mike to spread the word, I would never be so proud today to say I heard the entire bible (in 2 years not 1)
Fr Mike is awesome and he always mention and praise Jeff Cavins, I would never know him otherwise, now I follow both equally and I thank God for both of them.
I struggle with this and I haven't created anything yet... 😅🤣😂
I love watching the show. I think sometimes it's so nice when there's something nice and 'Christian' to watch. This could be the next 'hard talk' by BBC...for Christians...
Y'know where Matt analyses viewpoints and studies people all on his talk show...
I have learned lots from this show... To me it's educational!
🌸
I love Jeff's Sunday reflections on Ascencion!
I liked the question, I like Jeff Cavins’s answer even more. Thanks for a great short clip (since my brain can’t handle the long ones!)!😳
God bless both of you, Matt and Jeff! You have been incredibly impactful in so many people’s lives here in the Midwest! ❤️
When one does God’s work there is no competition between them otherwise they’re not doing it for the right reasons. I love listening to Jeff and I enjoy listening to father Mike. I love listening to Bishop Barron and I love also many other people talking about and on the Scriptures. They’re all doing a great job. Keep up the great work of God in every one of these people Amen 🙏
Jeff, I love this snd appreciate you letting go and letting it grow. Now I'm waiting for you to do something like this shortend with a kids Bible/presenter for kids and/or those who need the simplified version.
Okay, I’m sure we all agree, Father Mike Schmitz is just an amazing man! Haha
Big fan of Jeff Cavins.
But Fr Mike has bigger. That's the root of the question here.
I also wondered about that - But i always look forward to Jeff Cavin's coming in every now and then. - Such humility Jeff Cavin ( Love you to bits for giving us the Bible in the Year).
Thank you for asking this question! I was actually worried about it and am so relieved. Jeff is truly a good man.
1 Cor 3:5-9 "What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. The one who plants and the one who waters have a common purpose, and each will receive wages according to the labor of each. For we are God’s servants, working together; you are God’s field, God’s building."
Human beings have always wanted and tried to save themselves from their own sins and earn their own eternal salvation. It is part of our sinful nature to do so. But there is no amount of human good works that could ever satisfy the demands of perfect holiness before YHWH because we “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). But Jesus, The Christ, was SINLESS and He satisfied all the demands of perfect righteousness. So He shed His own blood and died for our sins in order to redeem us. Then He rose from the dead and victoriously offered that glorious gift of eternal life to anyone and everyone who believes in Him and His promise to give us this gift. Hallelujah, What a Savior!! AND NOW we are FREE in Christ - at LIBERTY to LOVE OTHERS!
Shalom
Thank you, Veronica. Blessings.❤️🙏🌹
Jeff has a kind and comforting voice. I like hearing him speak.
Jeff, your work is amazing. Thank you 😊. Father Mike is probably the best person to present your work to us. What a great team!!
Jeff, your humility is a gift 🎁 to humanity.
That's Jeff Cavins ?! Wow ... I remember him red hair and all. Still at it ! More power to you !
I can see Father Mike as the face of BIAY but I can also see Jeff Cavins as the brain behind the face. Fr Mike while a tremendous reader but his dialog has a nervous snake oil salesman laugh that just oh my gosh give me a slight discomfort of his sincerity. Jeff’s daily reflection on Hallow it an absolute plus in my day. Thank you both!
I love the content and the ease of learning the Bible with audio is what I enjoy. I would equally enjoy it if Jeff or Fr. Schmitz read it, however having the message delivered by a fervent priest does contribute to the reverence of the message.
Great stuff :)
Fr. Mike Schmitz ROCKS!! 😎😎😎👍👍👍✨✨💖💖💖
I have wondered this exact same thing!
I love that he answered honestly! So brave.. good on you Jeff!
This was my all time fav PWA interview
Mother Mary always pointed to Our Lord . We can learn from her, who knew Jesus better than any human.
I love you both thank you for the bible in a year it totally ROCKS
A more interesting question would be for Fr. Mike: How exactly do you deal spiritually with being a Catholic media super-star whose appeal is not, shall we say, entirely religious?
😅
Babies will spend more time looking at classically attractive faces than less attractive faces. Human nature. Not something socially conditioned, beauty is real.
He is an amazing man.
What a great question and such a wise answer.
beautiful honest response
He is a true humble servant of Christ. He doesn't desire any glory from his great accomplishment, the Great Adventure Bible/reading plan. He is just so happy that it is popular and spreading God's word, regardless of who is the "face" of it.
Beautiful
Great question
"sarcasm"
Liked that bit @the-editor
Where it starts is a jewel!!!
This is a wonderful showcase of God's creation and the good practice of Christian faith! We each are thankful for our little parts.
Jeff Cavins is my man!
Yep wanted that answered? Great great work though Jeff. Wondered from day 1 Jan. 2021
We're all supposed to be child like in the eyes of God. Father Mike is genuinely there. 🕊❤
Fr. Mike got a tattoo.
I hope someone would copy and bring forward our mission.
Does matter what people think of us, it only matters what God thinks of us. Even if the credit you've done was manifested in someone else. God knows you were the one that created it and that is all we need to know that God knows.
He's a frickin Chad Mogger!
The less credit we take in life, the more credit we get in heaven :3
What about Taylor Marshall....will "pints" have him along some day?
Now I know what pusillanimous and magnanimous mean.
Hilarious
Don't ask this question.
I was bummed out when Mr Cavins came to a local parish and charged $30-35 for a book signing. Struck me as an odd Catholic celebrity approach. Otherwise I like the stuff he does and he seems great here.
You need to abandon yourself to him and live not by this world and everything will be given to you!
My opinion is not going to be popular here since most people here are Jeff fans. Jeff has Fr. Mike to thank instead of jealous of that God chose Fr. Mike to do BIAY and he uses the reading plan based on Jeff’s timeline. Fr. Mike could have used any other BIAY reading plans. Jeff’s timeline is excellent but at the same time people have been reading and understanding the Bible for more than 1000 years without Jeff’s timeline
I like Fr. Mike, but I have to be honest, Jeff is more my cup of tea. He has more depth and wisdom. Fr. Mike seems sort of gimmicky to me (sorry).
Jeff is not a priest
I don't see Fr. Mike as Gimmicky. He may seem not as serious, perhaps because he works with youth and college age students, I think that his approach fits those groups. I find him very orthodox and very well read. But he does not come off as an intellectual. I am of the past retirement age group and I love all Fr. Mike does in this BIAY and his other podcasts and videos. As a former teacher I very much see his appeal. I think he fits "Unless you become as little children…” very well. He has a different approach than Jeff Cavins. Both are humble men. Both are very good at what they do. God gives each of us different gifts, and He expects us to use the gifts we are given. Jeff and Fr. Mike use their gifts well, all to the greater glory of God!
@@dianalytle163So well said. Fr. Mike is intelligent but not an intellectual. He has a way to reach people with simple words that even children can understand.
second 😂 but good video
Eighth
First
why leave a comment , yoy never answer anyway; same as Taylor Marshall.....sister Miriam and so on
oh, poor Nicky Nick
@@PintsWithAquinas at last, thank you
@@PintsWithAquinas After 4yrs of reciting the Rosary daily, mainly in the church including prayers, of deliverance and to the Saints; act of contriton , communion. A few weeks I had to stop because of frustration and anger; instead of healing and progress. I had to drink to reduce the pain and only recite the Rosary s.times. I think Fr Ripperger has a solution but I can't reach him.......s.thing to do with prayer and meditation. It has taken me yrs to find a priest for confession........2 hour drive. Not easy to be a Catholic as everything is diluted. Can you answer or a guest why this has happened.
You Catholics are becoming like protestants .....who admire the man ( if he's dynamic etc ) not the word
Stop that
I have seen people jump churches just because the priest is not dynamic ....stop that ....we don't go to church or a lecture to admire the person ...we go to hear God's word .
Actually we go to receive the Eucharist, but I agree with your main point.
So true....know of so many who do that!
I don't live in the States or Canada but it seems to me as an old European that there is a slight fundamentalist tone in some of these fellows.
Father Mike Schmitz recently made a video about his new Tattoo in his left wrist and that is WRONG on so many levels. Whoever watch that video may think he is endorsing tattoos and giving them a green light for others to get one. One thing is that he wanted to get a tattoo, another that he make a video endorsing them. That's odd. Our bodies are not our own. They belong to G-d and are temples of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:19. Man has no right to voluntarily mutilate his members. Saint Basil The Great condemned Tattoos as they are sinful. He is free to agree or disagree, but to leads others to believe in his opinion, is to take other souls to commit a sinful act on themselves. Careful when listening to this Father, something ain't right here. Blessings!
What’s wrong with the Name of Jesus and the Jerusalem cross on your wrist? The Church does not consider tattooing a sin
@@meihui7767 Its against the W-rd of G-d. Study the Scriptures, it is clear. The Church was also against it until recently.
We are now living the times were some people within the Church and outside the Church, for lack of knowledge (or other reasons) are trying to change what is clearly written in the Bible with the pretext that we are living modern times and therefore we must adapt to such times.
This is a huge misunderstanding of the Bible and a Sin by all accounts. The W-rd of G-d is Eternal. Had no time and we must follow it if we want to be saved. This is not an option but a commandment.
Tattoos has a long association with the worse kinds of paganism that goes back to the Maya, Inca and Aztec times when were used on rituals. In fact, if we look further, we can see that tattoos goes way back to Neolithic times.
The Father is a representative of the Church and as such, he has to be very cautious with what he says in public since it can lead thousands of people astray. That video is a mistake since many people who don't have tattoos could get one after seeing his video endorsing them. Blessings!
@@sonsmith4809 I don’t completely disagree with you but I also think it’s dangerous to think we are better than the Church. The Scripture also says don’t eat blood. Are eating rare steaks a sin?
@@meihui7767 Hi Mei, raising our voice when something is wrongly done by clerics in the Church has nothing to do with thinking we are better than the Church. As said earlier, it is the faithful duty to denouce anything wrong within the Church. Let's keep on topic rather than deviate. Blessings!
@@sonsmith4809 I didn’t deviate from the topic of tattooing is not a sin, did I? The Church doesn’t think it is. So you think the Church is wrong? For centuries, Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land often get tattoos to commemorate their long journey. That’s where Fr. Mike got his.
I've heard Fr Mike Schmitz speak at theological conferences and his speeches were always theologically shallow. I think he has become overrated and is overreaching is abilities.
Since Fr Schmitz showed off his tattoos I have no respect for him!!!
Why?
@Marcin Hasulak The tattoo is the name of Jesus and the Jerusalem cross
@@Volaer1 I think a lot of people look down and judge those with tattoos
Did you listen to Fr. Mike explain the tattoo? Please check it out.
