What if the most powerful innovation isn't about bleeding-edge technology, but about using what you already have in new and strategic ways?
In this episode recorded live at CV Global Digital Day in London, Joshua Seale shares Biblica's remarkable journey of digital Bible distribution—230 apps, 7 million users, half a billion Scripture engagements, and zero lines of code written by their team.
But here's the real story: While 95% of all digital Scripture engagement happens in just five languages, Joshua and his team made a different choice. They focused on the last mile—the underrepresented languages where massive populations had almost no access to digital Scripture.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- How a $2,000 experiment became a movement reaching millions
- The Ukrainian Bible app built in one day that reached 1 million users in 200 days during the war
- Why digital distribution costs $0.17 vs. $12 for printed Bibles in restricted areas
- How open licensing and Creative Commons unlocked exponential kingdom impact
- The AI chatbot serving emerging world pastors who lack formal theological training
- Why persistence beats perfection in innovation work
The breakthrough result: In the 20 most underrepresented languages, Biblica saw 10,000% more users than major platforms by taking a laser-focused approach on the underserved.
Key Quote: ”God can use the things that you have right now. Innovation isn't easy, but persistence beats perfection. What could you do with what you already have?”
This is a masterclass in strategic innovation that prioritizes kingdom impact over technological sophistication.
