YouVersion CEO on Record Downloads and Interest in God's Word
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."
