Thank You Father Mike

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Father Mike and the team at Ascension Press.
I was an atheist for many years and lived many miserable years before turning to Christ and this podcast was a pivotal moment in that journey.
I can honestly say the bible in a year podcast has changed my life.
Last night I was baptised and joined the Catholic Church and I owe a huge part of that to this podcast.
God bless everyone that works on this podcast and thanks for helping Christ reach me.
