Read The Bible Together - with Bunni Pounds

What would it look like for America to hear the Bible out loud again, not as a slogan, but as the actual text from Genesis to Revelation? That question drives our conversation as we get ready for a major national moment in Washington, DC: America Reads the Bible, where nearly 500 leaders will read Scripture publicly and livestream it across the country.

We talk about why public Bible reading has such a powerful track record, from Moses to King Josiah to Jesus reading Isaiah, and especially Ezra and Nehemiah, where Scripture helps rebuild a broken people with clarity, worship, and renewed commitment. We also dig into the practical reason this matters right now: Bible literacy is collapsing in real time, and that vacuum is being filled with confident “crazy talk” from across the spectrum, including people who should know better. If we want a healthy biblical worldview, we have to get back to the source.

Then we’re joined by Bunny Pounds from Christians Engaged to lay out the details: the schedule, the livestream, and how churches, families, universities, and small groups can participate. Along the way, we keep it real about the parts of Scripture people tend to avoid, including the genealogies, and why even those passages can be part of God’s bigger story.

If you care about faith and culture, the Bible’s role in America’s founding, and what renewal could look like in the next 250 years, listen and join us. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.
