There’s something powerful that happens when the Word of God is simply read aloud.
No flashy production. No commentary. No distractions. Just Scripture filling the room.
That’s exactly what happened during America Reads the Bible, a seven-day event where believers from across the country gathered to read the Bible aloud from Genesis to Revelation. Million Praying Moms founder Nicolet Bell recently sat down with visionary and ministry leader Bunni Pounds to talk about the event, prayer, leadership, and what moms can learn from the book of Nehemiah.
The enemy would love nothing more than for moms to feel overwhelmed, distracted, and defeated. But Nehemiah’s story reminds us to stay focused. While others criticized and mocked the work, Nehemiah and the people continued building. Shoulder to shoulder. Brick by brick. Family by family. And in just 52 days, the wall was rebuilt.
Your prayers matter.
Your faithfulness matters.
Your leadership matters.
When you open God’s Word with your children…
When you pray over your family…
When you choose faithfulness in ordinary moments…
You are rebuilding your section of the wall, and God is using it to impact generations.
This episode is the encouragement we need to remember that the walls of your home, your family’s faith, your children’s hearts — those are the walls you’ve been called to tend. Don’t get distracted. Bunni Pounds’ book, Stepping Up to Lead: Rebuilding a Nation in the Footsteps of Nehemiah, is available wherever books are sold, including the Million Praying Moms shop.
