Summary

Southside Tribe!! What started in a TSA line became a global movement. In this episode of Southside Rabbi, we sit with Bobby Gruenewald, founder of the YouVersion Bible App, to explore humility, failure, innovation, and how God’s Word still creates movement in a world saturated with noise. From billion-download milestones to resisting monetization, to the enduring hunger for truth, this conversation reminds us that Scripture doesn’t need to be reinvented—it just needs to be accessible.
