Episode 16
Discovering the Power of God’s Word
Featuring Dr. Matt Lucas
April 28, 2026
In this episode of the Wisdom and Influence podcast from Cornerstone University, host Gerson Moreno-Riaño speaks with Matt Lucas, CEO and president of Our Daily Bread Ministries, about Bible engagement across generations and cultures. Lucas traces the ministry’s origin from its 1938 founding by M.R. DeHaan to its current reach across nearly 150 countries and 60 languages, and he shares research showing that reading Scripture four or more times a week is the most predictive spiritual discipline for transformation. The conversation explores the contrast between the West’s high access but low demand for God’s Word and the hunger for Scripture in regions with limited access, the challenges of passing faith to Gen Z, and the value of accessible rather than over-professionalized Bible engagement. Listeners will learn how one of the world’s most widely distributed devotional ministries measures spiritual impact and develops strategies to guide people at every stage of faith toward Scripture.
