Mission
Bible Thinker, Inc is a ministry dedicated to equipping people to think and live biblically. There are three main areas of teaching that we focus on:1. Teaching accurate theology based on exegeting the text of the Bible and confronting false teachings which spread so quickly and easily in a biblically unaware world. This is done both topically and systematically teaching the Bible. 2. Defending the biblical-Christian worldview and answering skeptics. This is done both through topical videos and as issues arise in the text of a verse by verse teaching. 3. Applying the Bible so that we can become true followers of Jesus in not only thinking right but living right. God's word has more to say about how we are to live than most people realize - this ministry hopes to show people the vast riches of the Bible which is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.
Program accomplishments
- Bible Thinker continues to provide free teaching content to people around the world through YouTube, Instagram, various podcast platforms, radio stations, and Biblethinker.org. In 2025 people spent over 13 million hours watching our content just on YouTube. The recent work we've done on Cover-up Culture has brought many victims to us and we've been able to care for them not only in telling their stories and standing up against corrupt leaders as 1 Timothy 5:20 demands but also in sponsoring many people for spiritual abuse recovery sessions and helping protect against ungodly attacks by paying for legal consultations. By God's grace real change is beginning to happen in churches all over the place, as "Cover-up Culture" is now being acknowledged and many people are repenting, even if some of the leaders who are being exposed are not. We're praying this helps churches to think biblically about accountability.In prior generations it would have been impossible to freely distribute Christian video content into peoples hands and across the world like this or to run a ministry with such a wide reach while also maintaining relatively low expenses. It is truly a remarkable time we live in and we're grateful for the open door the Lord has given us.Expenses $469,524 · grants $141,393
