Hope Media Group partnered with Christians Engaged to support the "America Reads the Bible" live event, held from April 18-25 at the Museum of the Bible. The weeklong event brought together nearly 500 national leaders who read the Bible aloud from beginning to end as part of a continuous public reading.

The initiative, themed "One Week. One Nation. One Book.," was organized in recognition of the nation's upcoming 250th anniversary. Through the partnership, Hope Media Group promoted the event across its radio networks and digital platforms, including KSBJ, WayFM, Vida Unida and Worship 24/7, encouraging audiences to participate in the daily 12-hour readings.

The effort also included collaboration with additional media partners, such as Great American Pureflix, which provided a national livestream of the event.

Participants in the reading included public figures such as Candace Cameron Bure, Patricia Heaton, Mike Johnson, and Jack Graham. Hope Media Group CEO Joe Paulo and his wife Kelly also took part.

Organizers reported more than 3 million video streams during the event. Both organizations said the partnership aimed to expand national awareness and engagement while highlighting the broader message of faith and unity tied to the initiative.
