God's Word in Malayalam
Bringing the Word of God to life in Malayalam, one podcast at a time.
Our Story
The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz) is not only a podcast that repeatedly topped the podcast charts, but also one that has acted as a channel of God's love and mercy. The domino-effect of this show, draws listeners from across the globe and India is not one to be left behind. Since its launch in 2021, BIY is helping thousands of Indians to rediscover the richness of the Bible and the Catholic faith. In a nation with 1.4 billion souls who are in search of a deeper relationship with God, the need to bring this podcast to India in vernacular languages was very clear. Thus BIY India was born!
It didn't take long for Ascension to commission a team of lay people (who were deeply impacted by the podcast) to work on production, publicity and distribution. Due to the rich history of the Church in Kerala, Malayalam became the first language choice and that set the ball rolling for The Bible in a Year - Malayalam (BIYM) project.
The BIYM team ensures that they are staying true to the original podcast inspired by The Great Adventure Bible Timeline and the teachings of Jeff Cavins. At the same time, Fr. Daniel Poovannathil brings in his own unique flavour to the show.
