The founder and CEO of the world's most popular Bible app says record engagement shows that God is on the move globally, with a growing openness to Scripture unlike anything seen in recent memory. Easter Sunday marked a record day for the popular YouVersion Bible app, with 18.95 million users engaged with the Bible around the world, marking a 12 percent increase over the previous Easter.
But it wasn't the only record of 2025 for YouVersion, which has experienced a surge of 16 all-time highs so far this year, reflecting global trends indicating the popularity of God's Word is growing.
"We're obviously very humbled to be a part of something that, clearly, God's doing," Bobby Gruenewald, YouVersion Founder and CEO, told Crosswalk Headlines. "... This has been a record year for the Bible app, and there's a momentum that's building that we see happening globally."
