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.
April 18-25, 2026 in Washington, D.C.

Worth Riding a Hundred Miles to Hear
Thoughts on Psalm 35 By September 1774, the tensions between America and Great Britain had been escalating for a decade and were reaching a boiling point.
