great presentation. How’s AI changing your process and product?

Diverse content creators

2025-11-06 18:56:24 UTC

Thinking about the need for local content creators, contextualized - really important and loved hearing how Kendra described this happening at youversion.

What a blessing to “ride” the ways of the times to make God’s Word accessible to so many! God’s Word never returns void. I’m very encouraged to hear how He is using YouVersion.

Nice to have overview with objectives

2025-11-06 18:57:41 UTC

Great Presentation Kendra. Your demonstrated commitment to partnerships and collaboration is remarkable. I see you have Church Page? How many churches globally can you accommodate? How much content can a church share? How much unique interaction can a church achieve for its members on the platform

Going Big

Great to see the measure of success and opportunities for YV.

Amazing to hear the research on this topic. Seems obvious how important Bible engagement is!

I’d love the slides and original questions!

2025-11-06 19:52:41 UTC

This is right up our alley! We have incorporated as much of the CBE research as we can so far, but we have so far to go to be able to actually track individual user spiritual journeys!

Takeaway - I can see the possibilities of using something that is already developed but will need to include ministries which are beyond Bible translation, such as church planting movements, because their data can also be used to measure engagement.

laurelcrawley — 2025-11-06 20:32:09 UTC

I'm struck by the need to do better discipleship among current professed Christians.

Good presentation. Interesting that their weakest area is community. IMO, in the midst of "the Age of Distraction", communal reading is a must have, not a "nice to have."

Mind bending. Big question: How to get the right mix of people to report data. Currently sounds like most of the data is coming from para church organizations.

Teaching Literacy

2025-11-06 21:10:24 UTC

Novel and innovative approach to teaching literacy. Love when the church is entrepreneurial!

Measuring Bible Engagement

2025-11-06 21:13:50 UTC

Great to see what CBE is working on beyond the Power of Four. Abagail's research addresses the kind of questions about which I'm curious.

Biblical instruction on biblical engagement

2025-11-06 23:00:43 UTC

When it comes to formats of engagement, are we neglecting the commandments to listen together to Scripture being read aloud en masse as a requirement of Bible engagement (e.g., Deut 17:19; 31:11)—among other teachings that implicate particular forms of Bible engagement?

laurelcrawley — 2025-11-07 14:52:10 UTC

One challenge I foresee is that Bible Engagement can include a much more varied group of organizations and people than the narrower sphere of Bible Translation. How do such a diverse group work together? How to get other organizations/ministries on the same page?

Great paradigm shift of investors being involved in strategy development.

laurelcrawley — 2025-11-07 14:53:03 UTC

This is possible

2025-11-07 14:55:37 UTC

While the task was daunting at first for Bible Translation agencies, the Lord has brought about a breakthrough that has allowed progress to occur and a momentum to be built. Today, as Bible Engagement organizations, we are more and more aware of the daunting task ahead of us, but let’s be inspired by the cloud of witnesses in the Bible Translation movement and have hope that God will give the needed increase.
