“It’s been an honor and a joy to partner with the team at Pray.com in bringing this great project to life. There’s never been a more important time to spread the influence of God’s Word to our communities, our country and the world,” Graham said. “We pray the ‘Bible in a Year’ podcast format invites people to engage with Scripture in a new way, diving deeper into God’s character while journeying through the grand biblical narrative.”

“This biblical audio experience will help you master wisdom from the world’s greatest book,” a synopsis reads. “In each episode, you will learn to apply biblical principles to everyday life. Now, understanding the Bible is easier than ever before; enjoy a cinematic audio experience full of inspirational storytelling, orchestral music, and profound commentary from world-renowned Pastor Jack Graham.”

“We’re incredibly blessed and thrilled to advance our journey with Pastor Jack Graham at the helm of our unparalleled ‘Bible in a Year’ podcast. The Bible’s profound and vast legacy demands the expertise and passion of a luminary like Dr. Graham. It’s a privilege of the highest order to collaborate with him,” said Matthew Potter, co-founder and head of strategic relationships at Pray.com. “Together, we’re on a mission to transform lives through the podcast ‘Bible In A Year,’ empowering listeners to weave biblical wisdom into the fabric of their daily lives, fostering growth in faith and enlightenment.”

Graham said the podcast’s success reveals “people are hungry for hope.”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect when we first launched the podcast, but it’s been amazing to see what God has done. Millions of people have been impacted by it,” he said last year after the podcast passed 10 million downloads. “With its cinematic approach, even those who have struggled to make a habit of getting into the word, are coming back day after day.”
