What happens when Christians from different denominations, leaders from across government, and voices from all spheres of influence come together for one purpose: to publicly read the Bible over America? In this episode of Trusted Voice, I sit down with Bunni Pounds to talk about the vision behind America Reads the Bible and why this moment feels bigger than an event. We talk about the 250th birthday of America, the spiritual hunger in the nation, and why returning to Scripture is not just symbolic, but essential.

Bunni shares the powerful story of how this initiative was born, what it has taken to bring together hundreds of national leaders and ministries, and why she believes this is a historic moment of unity for the body of Christ. We discuss Christian engagement in civic life, the connection between revival and public leadership, and how churches, families, businesses, and communities can participate in this nationwide Bible reading movement. This conversation is full of faith, vision, and practical ways to respond.

We also talk about Bunni's journey from public policy to ministry leadership, her new book Stepping Up to Lead, and the legacy she believes God is calling her to leave. This episode is a call back to the simplicity of prayer, worship, discipleship, and the Word of God. Whether you care about revival, Christian unity, America’s future, or biblical leadership, this conversation will stir your heart and challenge you to engage.
