Men’s Growing Bible Engagement Sparks Cultural Revival
In a time when the moral fabric of society seems to be fraying, there is a heartening resurgence in the embrace of biblical wisdom among American men across generations. According to the 2025 “State of the Bible” report by the American Bible Society, nearly 10 million more Americans have turned to the Bible this year compared to the previous year. This shift is particularly significant among men, who are closing the gender gap in Bible engagement, a promising trend for those who value the principles of faith and family.
The study, which surveyed 2,656 adults nationwide, reveals that 41% of American adults now engage with the Bible, marking the highest total since 2021. This increase is not just a statistic; it is a testament to a growing recognition of the Bible’s timeless truths in guiding personal and communal life. As Jennifer Holloran, President and CEO of the American Bible Society, notes, this renewed interest in Scripture signals a “renewed interest” in the Word of God, especially among millennials and men.
Millennials, often criticized for straying from traditional values, are leading the way in this revival. In 2024, only three in 10 millennials engaged with the Bible, but that number has surged to nearly four in 10 this year. This shift suggests a yearning for the stability and moral clarity that the Bible offers, particularly in an age of uncertainty and moral relativism.
Men from Generation X have also shown remarkable growth in Bible engagement, with a ten-point rise in their numbers, surpassing women in their generation. This development is a powerful reminder of the role that Scripture can play in shaping strong, principled leaders who are committed to their families and communities.
Holloran emphasizes the unique opportunity this moment presents for the Church to invite seekers into “genuine encounters with the living Word of God.” She cites Psalm 34:8, which encourages individuals to “Find out for yourself how good the LORD is,” highlighting the personal transformation that can occur when one turns to Scripture.
In a world where happiness is at a record low, as reported in the 2025 World Happiness Report, the Bible offers an enduring message of hope and renewal. Isaiah 40:31 reassures us that “those who trust in the LORD for help will find their strength renewed,” a promise that resonates deeply in today’s weary society.
The “State of the Bible” report also delves into themes of trust, identity, and church engagement—critical questions in a time when many are searching for meaning and belonging. These themes underscore the Bible’s potential to shape not just individual lives but entire communities, fostering a culture rooted in faith, family, and freedom.
As more men turn to the Bible, they are not only enriching their own lives but also contributing to a broader cultural revival. This trend is a beacon of hope for those who believe in the power of biblical principles to guide us toward a more righteous and unified nation.

- A viral video showed an unidentified man praying over Muslim teens as they prayed outside a coffee shop in Murphy, Texas.
- The Texas chapter of CAIR urged law enforcement to investigate the incident as a possible hate crime and religious harassment.
- The event follows recent legislative efforts in Texas to limit foreign nationals observing Sharia law from residing in the U.S.

“No young person should be harassed, mocked or targeted with bigotry simply for practicing their faith,” stated Mustafaa Carroll of CAIR-Texas.
As Christians, we are reminded to engage culture with both conviction and compassion, upholding our freedoms while seeking peace and understanding with others.

- Punjab’s new Local Government Act limits direct elections for minority-reserved seats.
- Christian leaders argue this violates constitutional rights and weakens minority representation.
- Faith-based groups petition the Lahore High Court for electoral reform.
Christians in Punjab, Pakistan, are raising their voices against a new law that restricts religious minorities from directly electing their own representatives in local government.
This law replaces direct elections for reserved seats with a party-selection process, igniting concerns about the erosion of democratic participation and Biblical justice.
“The right to elect one’s own representatives is fundamental to meaningful participation,” said Samson Salamat, chairman of Rwadari Tehreek (Movement for Equality).
He emphasized the danger of weakening the role of religious minorities, women, and laborers in government, stating that only genuine participation upholds justice.
Katherine Sapna, executive director of Christians True Spirit, appealed to the protections granted in Pakistan’s constitution, stressing the need for genuine authority and accountability in local government.
“Instead of reforming the law, the Punjab government has repeated the injustice and deprived Christians and other minorities of electing their own representatives even at the local government level,” she said.
Faith-based organizations and advocates have filed a petition in the Lahore High Court, seeking amendments to restore the right to direct elections for reserved seats.
The call for reform is a plea for justice and equality, echoing Biblical values of integrity and stewardship for all people.

- Gaza’s Christian community numbers around 1,000 believers enduring great hardship.
- Many have sheltered for two years in churches struck by attacks, facing loss and uncertainty.
- Believers like Elias al-Jalda remain committed to their faith and the land where Christianity began.
As Gaza’s ceasefire remains fragile, Christians in the region must make difficult decisions about staying rooted in their homeland or fleeing for safety. Many have lost homes and live together in church shelters, enduring trials with courage and unity.
Even as violence damages sacred places and infrastructure, Christian families like Elias’s draw strength from their faith and from fellowship with one another. Their commitment reflects a powerful testament to perseverance where Christ Himself once walked.
“We forgot what normal life looks like,” Elias shared on SAT-7 ARABIC. “For two years, there’s no gas, no fuel for electricity. Water and food are hard to come by.”
Despite loss and a shrinking population, these believers cling to hope that the Gospel’s light will never be extinguished in its birthplace. Their unwavering dedication to faith, family, and heritage furthers the powerful witness of the Christian spirit.
“I am committed to remaining, living on the land on which I was born, and on the land of Jesus Christ.”
Let us pray for the steadfast Christians of Gaza, and stand with them as they face these choices with faith, trusting that God’s providence will lead and sustain them in the land of their forefathers.
