| IRS990/Desc | 0 | In 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 people's 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. It's 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. |
