Pray.com launches PrayTV - New 24/7 Streaming Video Channel
LOS ANGELES, June 9, 2022 – Five years after launching what has become the world’s leading faith-based and Bible audio content app, Pray is moving into the video streaming space with PrayTV, bringing its members’ favorite preachers, Bible teachers and worship leaders to the new visual platform. Recognizing that video is the primary way we communicate as a nation, PrayTV was created as another way to help support members’ worship and prayer practice, providing another channel to enrich their faith, learn from others and feel part of a community, Pray leaders share. “Linear TV has seen a drastic decline in viewership as people’s attention continues to shift to mobile and connected devices,” said Ryan Beck, Chief Technology Officer. “PrayTV brings faith video content not just into the homes of Americans, but into the hands of every Christian around the world.” In addition to inspirational sermons from favorite pastors, the new PrayTV 24/7 streaming channel will include worship music videos from some of the nation’s top Christian bands, along with motivational messages inspired by the Bible from popular faith leaders and Bible teachers. Pastors include Ed Young Sr., Jeff Schreve, Jack Graham, Ed Young Jr., Troy Brewer, Matt Brown, Beth Jones, and many more. Worship bands include Eagle Brook Music, Fellowship Creative, OpenDoor Worship, Nigel "Legin" Anderson and Valley Worship, among others. “We are so excited to be a part of the new PrayTV platform and the variety of content it includes to help encourage people for growing in their faith,” Dr. Ed Young said. “We are grateful for how we will be able to help them feel connected and inspired throughout their day, reaching them in a more visceral way than through audio content alone.” PrayTV is available for free for everyone who downloads the app at https://link.pray.com/AppDownload .

Pray.com partners with Renowned Researchers to Study the App’s Benefits to Mental Health
LOS ANGELES, October 26, 2022 – As the No. 1 app for daily prayer, Pray.com is partnering with renowned researchers to study the benefits that digitally enabled prayer can have on mental health and well-being during our current pandemic-induced mental health crisis. With approximately 26% of the U.S. adult population suffering from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year, according to John Hopkins Medicine, and at a time when people are more interconnected digitally than in-person, Pray.com believes it’s important to scientifically study the benefits of digital engagement with prayer for the first time. “We know from experience and the existing anecdotal research, that prayer, meditation and consumption of faith-based content is beneficial to your mental and spiritual well-being,” said Founder and CEO Steve Gatena. “We are excited to contribute to the scientific knowledge to further examine the science behind digital prayer and its impacts on mental, physical and spiritual health, an area of research that has been largely overlooked.” Partnering with established scientists in this space, Pray.com will conduct multiple first-of-their-kind studies to assess the impact of digitally-enabled prayer on mental health and wellness, bringing together science around mental health and digital prayer. Dr. Jennifer Huberty, former Director of Science at Calm, who recently joined Pray.com as Fractional Chief Science Advisor, is leading the company’s research efforts in partnership with Dr. Todd Hall, a professor of psychology at Biola University and a faculty affiliate at the Harvard Human Flourishing Program; Dr. Joshua Hook, Associate Professor of Counseling Psychology at the University of North Texas; and Dr. Daryl R. Van Tongeren, Associate Professor of Psychology at Hope College. “I am very passionate about mental health,” said Dr. Huberty. “If we can show that spiritual well-being is linked to mental health benefits, then Pray.com, with its spiritual well-being offerings, could be a strategy to help people improve their mental wellness.” One clinical study in the process is a randomized control trial in which participants with high levels of stress will be assigned to one of three groups to determine the effects of the app on stress and mental health. Findings from this study will add to the scientific knowledge about how spiritual well-being may reduce stress and improve mental health outcomes. Another study is exploring the feasibility of Pray.com in ethnic minorities. Findings from this study will help inform the product enhancements to ensure continued inclusivity of the app’s content and experience. In addition to these studies, Dr. Hall is conducting a cross-sectional survey based on Harvard’s Human Flourishing Program to help understand self-reported user perceptions of the app and its benefits for spiritual and mental wellness. “The essence of the research I have done in my career has been about the well-being of people and how we become the best version of ourselves. After countless hours of conducting research on social connection and flourishing, I am more convinced that relationships are the key to flourishing in life and work,” said Dr. Hall. “This is exactly what Pray.com is doing with these research projects. By understanding its users’ needs the platform gives them an opportunity to connect with others and improve their mental health, which translates into other areas of their lives.” As the first religious mental health and wellness app to do so, Pray.com’s purpose in these studies is to drive scientific insight into the impact digitally enabled prayer has on mental health and to use its findings to raise more awareness of ways to strengthen mental health by practicing the healthy habit of daily prayer.
