About this sermon
What happens when a deep love for Scripture leads someone away from the Catholic Church—and then all the way back? In this powerful conversation, Fr. Mike Schmitz sits down with Jeff Cavins to explore his unexpected journey: from growing up Catholic, to becoming a Protestant pastor for over a decade, to discovering what he didn’t even realize was missing. Jeff shares how studying the Bible intensely led him to the Early Church Fathers, the Eucharist, apostolic authority, and ultimately back to the Church Christ founded. Along the way, they reflect on why so many Catholics feel like there’s “no place” for their hunger for Scripture—and why that belief couldn’t be further from the truth. Jeff and Fr. Mike also reflect on how five years later, the Bible in a Year continues to bear fruit. 💜 Be sure to check out the Bible in a Year bonus commentary for Days 1-5 in 2026 on the Ascension App. Go to https://ascensionpress.com/pages/ascension-app to download the app. — MORE FROM ASCENSION — 🔸Ascension App: https://link.ascension-app.com/lMuydd... 🔸The Great Adventure Bible: https://tinyurl.com/y6lfxzyt 🔸 Catechism of the Catholic Church, Ascension Edition: https://tinyurl.com/25nskztb — SOCIAL MEDIA — 🔸Facebook: / ascensionpress 🔸Twitter: / ascensionpress 🔸LinkedIn: / ascension-press 🔸Instagram: / ascensionpress 🔸Subscribe: @AscensionPresents — BULLDOG CATHOLIC — 🔸YouTube: / @bulldogcatholic 🔸iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
