Lots of young people are responding positively to the question “What would you say if a friend asked you to read the Bible with them?”

In an Instagram reel posted by @uncoverJesus, seven out of nine young people said that yes, they would read the Bible if a friend asked.

On the Instagram page, dedicated to the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship’s (UCCF’s) Uncover Bible study book series, hosts conducted interviews with students at Leeds University. One young man responded: “If it was a good friend of mine, I’d probably say ‘Yeah, sure, I’d give it a go.’” Another said: “I’m Muslim, but I’m open to all cultures and all religions, so I’d read it, I’d try to gain an understanding.”
