What Revive Our Hearts does

Revive Our Hearts is a women's Bible-teaching Christian nonprofit founded by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, with the organization tracing its roots to the broader ministry work beginning in the 1980s/1990s and formally structured as Revive Our Hearts around 2001. The ministry operates a multi-platform content ecosystem serving Christian women, women's ministry leaders, and (through upcoming products) teen girls. Core products include a podcast family of seven series (Revive Our Hearts, Weekend, Grounded, Seeking Him, The Deep Well, True Girl, and Bible Studies), 1,300+ North American radio outlets, iOS and Android mobile apps, printed and digital Bible studies, books published via Moody Publishers, devotional challenges, and flagship in-person and online events such as the True Woman conference series. Distribution is global, with content translated or co-produced in 40+ languages through international partner teams and a broadcasting partnership with the Far East Broadcasting Company.

The underlying technology stack is conventional digital media: a content management and podcast distribution platform, mobile applications, a website/e-commerce store, and radio broadcast infrastructure. The Wonder of the Word (WoW) initiative — a six-year program launched in 2025 — and the upcoming Wonder App (January 2027, co-developed with Pure Freedom's Dannah Gresh) extend the platform into structured Bible-reading journeys, a companion Bible edition, and an interactive Scripture-engagement community for teens. Operationally, the ministry runs from a 47-acre, 35,000 sq. ft. Ministry Center in Niles, Michigan, purchased outright in August 2024 after twenty years of leasing.

The revenue model is donation-led. FY2025 (June 2024 – May 2025) total income was $10.52 million, of which 94% came from donor contributions (including a recurring Revive Partner program with a $5/month minimum), 5% from resource and book sales through the ministry's own store and third-party retailers, and 1% from event revenue. Expenses of $9.89 million were allocated 80% to direct outreach, 14% to administration and operations, and 6% to fundraising and partnership development, producing a small net surplus. The customer base is a long tail of individual listeners, readers, donors, and conference attendees — globally distributed, with 80M+ podcast listens in the past year, 17,000 subscribers to the women's ministry leader Side by Side newsletter, and representation from 53 countries at True Woman '25.

Direct peers

• Hallow: Hallow is a leading Catholic prayer and meditation app with comparable Bible-based devotional content delivered via mobile app, audio, and community features. It is directly comparable as a competing faith-based digital content platform targeting similar audiences with an app-first distribution model, demonstrating the digital-native competitive threat.
• She Reads Truth: She Reads Truth is a digital-first women's Bible reading platform with a mobile app and community-focused content model. It is directly comparable as a younger, app-native competitor pursuing the same evangelical women audience with Bible study and devotional content.
• Proverbs 31 Ministries: Proverbs 31 Ministries is a women's Bible-teaching ministry led by Lysa TerKeurst, the most direct peer to Revive Our Hearts. Both organizations produce daily podcasts, Bible studies, books, conferences, and digital content targeting Christian women with similar theological positioning and revenue models.
• Desiring God: Desiring God is a Bible-teaching ministry founded by John Piper producing podcasts, articles, books, and conferences for Christian audiences. It is directly comparable as a content-first evangelical teaching ministry, though co-ed rather than women-focused, with a similar digital distribution and donor-supported model.
• Pure Freedom: Pure Freedom is Dannah Gresh's ministry focused on teen and tween girls' biblical literacy and purity, and is Revive Our Hearts' strategic partner for the Wonder App. It is directly comparable as a smaller women's and girls' Bible teaching ministry with overlapping target audience and complementary content offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Focus on the Family: Focus on the Family is one of the largest U.S. evangelical Christian media ministries with comparable radio broadcasting, podcasts, and family/women's content offerings. It competes for the same evangelical donor base but operates at significantly larger scale and broader thematic scope.
• YouVersion (Life Church): YouVersion is the world's most-downloaded Bible app with 80M+ monthly active users and a content platform hosting ministries including Revive Our Hearts. It is a comparable adjacent player that serves as both a distribution partner and a potential competitive platform for biblical content discovery and engagement.
• Life Action Ministries: Life Action Ministries is a Christian revival and discipleship organization that previously owned the building now housing Revive Our Hearts and continues as a tenant partner. It is comparable as a peer ministry organization in the broader evangelical women's discipleship space, though focused on revival conferences rather than daily content distribution.
• Moody Publishers: Moody Publishers is Revive Our Hearts' publishing partner for Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth's books and is directly comparable as a Christian book publisher serving the same evangelical women's audience. It operates a much larger publishing catalog with broader topical reach.

Emerging players

• Abide Christian Meditation: Abide is a Christian meditation and sleep app offering devotional and Bible-based audio content to similar faith-oriented audiences. It is comparable as a digital-native emerging competitor pursuing the same general audience with a mobile-first, premium subscription model rather than donation-supported.
