A discipleship next step after America Reads the Bible

You’ve heard Scripture read aloud across America—now let it dwell in you daily through John 17, the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus.

America Reads the Bible was birthed from the heart of Bunni Pounds—and this John 17 series is part of that same vision: to help believers live rooted in Scripture and become people of prayer.

John 17: Jesus’ Heart Cry for Us

John 17 is one of the most personal chapters in the Bible—Jesus speaking directly to the Father just before the cross. It’s often called the High Priestly Prayer, and it reveals what Jesus desired most:

  • The glory of God

  • The holiness of believers

  • Unity in the Body of Christ

  • Protection from the enemy

  • Mission to the world

  • Intimacy with the Father

And what’s so powerful is this:
Jesus wasn’t only praying for the disciples standing near Him—He was praying for us.

This series will help you understand the context of John 17, hear the heart of Jesus, and respond with a deeper daily walk with Him.

A Simple Next Step After America Reads the Bible

Discipleship doesn’t have to be complicated. It starts with a daily rhythm:

  • Read the Word

  • Meditate on Scripture

  • Pray the Word with faith

Jesus for America exists to help believers build this habit—and to answer the biblical call to intercede for our leaders and nation (1 Timothy 2:1–4).

A Note from Bunni

Hi friend—if God has been stirring your heart through America Reads the Bible, I want you to know this: He’s inviting you closer.

John 17 is my favorite chapter in the Bible, and it has taught me more about intimacy with God than almost anything else. My prayer is that as you study this chapter, Jesus will become more real to you, and His Word will take deeper root in your life.
