What's Happening on TV this Weekend Could Change the World

What role will local churches play in strengthening the impact of The Bible series?

We are so grateful to all of them for their encouragement and support. We would like this series to do well and for churches to be able to see it as a tool for their ministries. This series has the potential to reach millions of people. On the Monday mornings after it airs, people will be discussing The Bible at the water cooler. That’s very exciting!

How will you define “success” for this project? What do you hope it accomplishes?

I heard that 25 percent of Americans say they never read the Bible—exactly twice as many as say they read it everyday. My hope is that by showing God’s love through the stories we’re dramatizing, we’ll lower that first number and raise the second by generating enthusiasm for the Scriptures. We have tried to breathe fresh new visual imagery into these great stories with the hope to engage a whole new generation. As I gather with my family to watch each Sunday starting March 3, my hope is that families across the nation will enjoy this series together.
