Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to attend a remarkable event hosted by the Bible Society, the release of the Patmos World Bible Attitudes Survey. Sitting among researchers, ministry leaders, and fellow Bible advocates from around the globe, I was struck by the importance and the depth of the data.

This isn’t just another survey about religion. It’s the first truly global look at how different cultures, faiths, and generations relate to the Bible, or don’t. The findings are both sobering and encouraging. They reveal how Scripture continues to shape lives in surprising places, how it's being forgotten in others, and how many, even outside the Church, are still open to its message.

At Bible Chat, we believe the Bible is for everyone and still speaks clearly and powerfully into every human story. That’s why I’m excited to share what I learned. This article is a reflection on what I took away from the event and why it matters for anyone passionate about helping people engage with God’s Word in today’s world.
