Customer Reviews
Very good!
This podcast has helped me to understand the bible more. Before this, I never knew all these good stories and have not learnt about all these things. Like in Proverbs, I have interpreted some of the verses and feel that they tell me a lot about me. Overall, this podcast is wonderful. Thank you Fr Mike, Jeff Cavins and the entire Ascension community!
Faith journey
Thank you for reading the Bible and explaining the message from that particular reading passages. This bible reading is a revelation of the true God word to me and in my life that I used to have difficulties to understand when I read the Bible by myself.
Pls slow down the speed of your speech
Great to journey with you daily but I find that your speed is getting faster n faster, I can barely hear/understand what you are saying 😪
