Summary
What would happen if our nation returned to the Word of God—together? Today I’m joined by my friend Bunny Pounds, founder of Christians Engaged, to talk about an extraordinary movement leading up to America’s 250th birthday: a seven-day, Genesis-to-Revelation public reading of the Bible in Washington, D.C. This isn’t just an event—it’s a call to repentance, revival, and courageous Christian engagement. We talk about why biblical literacy matters, how God’s Word shapes families and nations, and why now is the time for believers to get off the bench and stand with clarity and conviction. You’re going to be encouraged.
