Mission and Program Overview

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.

IRS990/Desc0IN 2023, THE TEACHING VIDEOS REACHED OVER 45 MILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE, MORE THAN EVER BEFORE, AND CONTINUE TO GROW THROUGH INSTAGRAM, PODCAST, RADIO, BIBLETHINKER.ORG, AND OTHER PLATFORMS. IN PRIOR GENERATIONS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO FREELY DISTRIBUTE CHRISTIAN VIDEO CONTENT INTO PEOPLES HANDS AND ACROSS THE WORLD LIKE THIS. IT IS TRULY A REMARKABLE TIME. THE WOMEN IN MINISTRY SERIES IS HAVING A MUCH GREATER IMPACT THAN ANTICIPATED, AMONG BOTH CHURCHES AND SCHOLARS. ITS TRULY HELPING MANY TO THINK BIBLICALLY ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND UNTANGLE IT FROM THEIR OWN CULTURE AND FAR TOO MUCH MISINFORMATION. ALL OF THIS WAS PROVIDED AT NO CHARGE TO THE VIEWERS.
