The actor Tim Allen shared a deeply personal faith milestone on Thursday after completing a full reading of the Bible.

He revealed in a post on X that he'd finished reading the entire Bible "word by word"  with "no skimming", in a journey that took 13 months.

Allen, who is known for his role in Santa Claus and voicing Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story series, revealed that he was "humbled, enlightened and amazed at what I read and what I learned". 

Reflecting on the experience, the actor said he planned to pause before beginning the process again, adding that he would “rest and meditate on so much” he had learned.

Allen has previously spoken publicly about his Christian faith and how it was shaped by hardship earlier in his life. In a 2011 interview with Elizabeth Vargas, the actor said he surrendered his life to Jesus after being arrested and spending time in prison in his mid-twenties.

He said his faith continued to guide his decisions, explaining at the time: “I always do ask … The Builder, what did you want me to do?”

The latest post struck a chord with fans, with many asking about his experience and sharing that they would like to do the same.

"Can you share how? I want to read it too!" one user wrote.

Another reminded Allen that it's "not how much Bible you read. It's how much bible you live".
