IRS990/Desc0Bible Thinker continues to provide free teaching content to people around the world through YouTube, Instagram, various podcast platforms, radio stations, and Biblethinker.org. In 2024 people around the world spent over 11 million hours watching our content just on YouTube. We continue to receive testimonies from people who tell us about the impact God is having in their lives through this ministry.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.
