A mom shares how her son Kent was diagnosed with autism and described as nonverbal with limited speech, yet today he speaks confidently, makes honor roll, and even plays in the band—after she began using the YouVersion Bible App for Kids and leaned into God’s Word during a season of heartbreaking loss. This report follows Kent’s story at a sold-out 1 billion downloads celebration for the Bible App, and goes behind the scenes with founder Bobby Gruenewald to show how a local church ministry is expanding globally so God’s Word can reach everyone, everywhere, every day.
