The Catechism in a Year podcast is set to launch on Jan. 1, 2023, to help Catholics and non-Catholics alike embark on a new spiritual journey.

In a  press conference with the media, Father Mike Schmitz, host of the Bible in a Year podcast and the highly anticipated Catechism in a Year podcast and Jeff Cavins, Catholic speaker, author and creator of “The Bible Timeline: The Story of Salvation” program, discussed the new podcast.

Father Schmitz shared his hope that people will not only grow in information but real transformation through the podcast.

“Our hope is that the Bible in a Year and Catechism in a Year are going to go one step further in forming people so that they can become like little satellites and share with other people,” he said.

He added, “What we want to do is to make it accessible for the common person to break down some of these ideas that are kind of ‘woah, I’ve never heard that word before’ and break it down into, OK, how does this play out in your family, with your children, with your finances, with your emotions, in your parish?”

Cavins also explained that the new podcast will feel familiar to those who did Bible in a Year.

“You’re going to feel like, ‘OK, this is a continuation of Bible in a Year,’” he said. “And you’re not going to have to learn a whole lot of new different ways and structures of understanding the faith.”

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is divided into four pillars: faith, liturgy/sacraments, life in Christ, and prayer.

Similarly, the podcast will be divided into four parts: What we believe, featuring Jeff Cavins; How we worship, featuring Bishop Andrew Cozzens; How we live, featuring biblical scholar Mary Healy; and How we pray, featuring Sister Miriam James Heidland, SOLT.
