About Active Word

Discovering how the Bible makes life make sense—that’s the practical goal of the Active Word. For thousands of years, this amazing book has offered people wisdom, inspiration—literally life-changing truth. But most of us still have trouble matching up the words of the Bible with the real-life troubles and challenges we face every day. We believe the answers are in there, we just have a hard time pulling them out when we need them most.

Early in his own relationship with God, Pastor Bob Coy had a deep hunger for truth that triggered a great passion for reading, studying, and understanding the Bible. For over twenty years, he has continued that personal study, finding meaning in every chapter and verse and matching it to every joy and pain that real life brings. Pastor Bob’s love for the Bible and for life comes alive in every message he shares with the people he pastors at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale, now one of the ten largest churches in America.

Pastor Bob's desire to share the truth and relevance of the Bible "until the whole world hears" fuels the mission to take this message to where people live—through radio and television broadcasts, Web streaming, podcasting, and other media tools. The Active Word Web site is at the center of this media outreach, offering convenient access for viewing or listening to broadcast messages, downloading podcasts, and exploring other resources that can help make God's Word active and effective in everyday life.
