Thank you for watching America Reads The Bible

If you have received Jesus into your heart during this time, please let us know. We have free discipleship resources for you that will help you in this new walk with the Lord. Please share your testimonies with us as well! This is not the end – this is just the beginning.

One Week. One Nation. One Book.

America Reads The Bible

Discover the Bible again or for the first time. Watch the entire event on live stream for free. Together we can inspire others to interact with God's Word during this crucial time in America's history.

Just as Ezra read the Word aloud to the people of Israel (Nehemiah 8:1–3), awakening revival and repentance, inspiring them to rebuild the temple, and working with Nehemiah to mobilize the people to rebuild Jerusalem’s walls, America Reads the Bible is a sacred opportunity to call our nation back to its spiritual foundations. Through a public, continuous reading of the entire Bible in our nation’s capital by our national leaders from all spheres of influence, we believe God can spark revival in individual hearts and inspire Americans to carry the Word forward in their lives and communities into the next 250 years of our national story.

Our worship leaders will be facilitating prayer and worship at the end of each hour of the Bible reading. To experience these moments of pause and reflection with a specific leader, please purchase a ticket for a 3-hour window of time when they will be leading. Multiple tickets and times can be purchased back-to-back by the same person, if you want to be in the theatre for 6 hours. 

Why Read the Bible?

Reading the Bible isn’t just a spiritual habit — it’s a catalyst for transformation in individuals, communities, and even nations.

Recent studies show that reading the Bible at least four times a week produces measurable improvements in a person’s spiritual, emotional, and behavioral health. People who engage with Scripture consistently are*:

  • 62% less likely to drink to excess

  • 59% less likely to view pornography

  • 59% less likely to engage in sex outside of marriage

  • 45% less likely to gamble

And the impactdoesn’t stop there. People who read the Bible regularly are also:

   •     228% more likely to share their faith

   •     231% more likely to disciple others

   •     407% more likely to memorize Scripture

Reading God’s Word doesn’t just restrain destructive behavior — it ignites bold, constructive action. It equips people to lead with wisdom, love with depth, and live with clarity.

*Data from the Center for Bible Engagement

KJVER™ Translation

During America Reads the Bible, April 18–25, 2026 in Washington, D.C., Scripture will be read publicly from the KJVER (King James Version Easy Read) Bible. We are grateful to Whitaker House Publishing for providing the KJVER™ translation for this historic national event as the Bible is read aloud from Genesis to Revelation in the nation’s capital.
