Walking The Text provides opportunities for churches and organizations to host live events where founder/director Brad Gray, (and other Biblical teachers including Content Director Brad Nelson) speaks and teaches on the Bible. The format is generally (but not limited to) weekend services at a church, live weekend workshops, or an annual 3-day Biblical conference (IBC). This year we had the opportunity to speak to the Buffalo Bills NFL team alongside their chaplain to name one of the unique opportunities we were involved in. We also led events in Indiana, Washington DC, Tennessee, Georgia, Colorado and Florida to name a few. Expense total is reflected in section IX column B lines 17, 24b, 1/3 line 5B (which equals $142,170), and 1/3 line 20 ($11508). Revenue total is reflected in sedction XIII line 2b.

Website content and development including weekly video teachings, website updates, podcast development, and other resource information which is available for free to users on our website. This is not a revenue generating service that we provide, rather we strive to offer the best resources on the subject of the Bible for free to everyone. There is information listed about study trips, speaking at conferences or churches, and/or future events listed on the website in which people can sign up for. Users also have the opportunity to donate to Walking The Text online. Parts of the website was revamped this year in order to give users a more friendly and easy website to navigate all the while maintaining the highest quality website possible. We also continued work on a television series and feature film that will premier in theaters and be available to stream on a national platform. Season 1 filming is nearly complete and we hope to release fall 2025.
