#4, below, has my attention.  The "Moveable Middle" are those who may be open to the Gospel message. May we all share the message of our risen Lord, Jesus Christ, with all groups of people, and may the message (in truth, message, and as a living example) be used by God to melt the hearts of all people, removing their hearts of stone, moving them through the Movable Middle, into full faith in Jesus!

From their findings:

(1) The number of Bible Users has increased this year from 38% to 41%, which translates to 10 million more American adults reading the Bible outside of church a minimum of three times a year.
 

(2) Millennials saw a 29% increase in Bible use from 2024 to 2025 and men saw a 19% increase, closing the long-time gender gap in Bible Use. In recent years, Millennials and men were among the least likely to use the Bible.
 

(3) Scripture engagement, a deeper measure of Bible interaction, impact, and centrality also saw an increase in 2025, with growth coming from the two youngest generations. In 2024 only 11% of Gen Z and 12% of Millennials were Scripture Engaged, compared to 15% and 17% respectively in 2025.
 

(4) Just over half of all Americans (51%) say they wish they read the Bible more. But 80% of Americans in the Movable Middle, a group of people who are open to the Bible as a source of spiritual wisdom, wish they read the Bible more.
 

(5) One-third of Bible Users access the Bible only in print while two-thirds of Bible Users access the Bible digitally at least some of the time.


(6) Three out of five digital Bible Users (62%) use Bible apps. The next most popular options are “Bible-based websites” and YouTube.


(7) A majority of Americans are curious about the Bible, Jesus or both, with 56% of all Americans and 82% of the Movable Middle expressing curiosity.
