Spoken Gospel to finish 7-year project: Free Bible video library completed with Revelation release this fall


OKLAHOMA CITY — Spoken Gospel, a nonprofit that helps people understand and be changed by the Bible, is thrilled to announce the finale of its seven-year journey: the release of its Revelation video, premiering this November. This landmark achievement completes an unparalleled free library of resources covering every book and chapter of the Bible, empowering believers worldwide to encounter Jesus on every page of Scripture.

For seven years, Spoken Gospel has poured its heart into creating over 800 dynamic videos and crafting more than 500,000 words of reliable, transformative content. From Genesis to Revelation, this unique library makes the Bible accessible, engaging, and life-changing for everyone—from curious newcomers to seasoned scholars. The Revelation video, the crowning jewel of the series, distills the book’s vivid imagery, the Lamb’s triumph, and the promise of a new heaven and earth into a gripping, concise overview that ties every theme to Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.

“This isn’t just a project—it’s a Gospel-rich, beautiful movement,” said David Bowden, co-founder of Spoken Gospel. “With Revelation, we’ve ensured that a free, accessible resource exits that reveals Jesus in every book of the Bible. We’re beyond excited to share this final piece, helping people unravel Revelation’s mysteries and discover hope in Christ.”

Spoken Gospel’s signature style—clear explanations, stunning visuals, and practical insights—shines in the Revelation video, making even the Bible’s most daunting book approachable. Available for free on the Spoken Gospel App, spokengospel.com and their YouTube channel on November 18, 2025, this content will join a treasure trove of resources that has received over 150 million views. Their podcast, which has more than 130,000 downloads just this year, amplifies the experience, sparking deep discussions for communities worldwide. One user raved, “I never thought the Bible was beautiful. To me it was full of struggle, confusion, and frustration. But Spoken Gospel has helped me start to see, for the first time, how beautiful the Bible is.”

Revelation marks the completion of a seven-year labor of love, but the other story is what comes next. These resources—now covering every book and chapter of the Bible—are freely available to anyone, offering the global church a tool to read Scripture with fresh eyes and encounter Jesus in deep ways. And with the help of new AI translation tools, Spoken Gospel is preparing to rapidly bring this entire library into other languages, so believers around the world can access and enjoy these resources in their own language.
