Fiona Lin – Loveland, Colorado … Discovery Mountain, the Bible-based family audio adventure series from Voice of Prophecy, has won two Silver Davey Awards for its website and mobile app.
The Discovery Mountain app won Silver in Mobile Features—Best User Interface, recognizing how people navigate and use the app. DiscoveryMountain.com received a separate Silver award in General—Religion & Spirituality.
For families, the recognition goes beyond design. Discovery Mountain brings Bible-based adventures into homes, cars and everyday routines, helping children explore faith, friendship and life’s challenges through compelling stories.
Building a Place for Stories That Matter
Discovery Mountain follows characters in a fictional mountain community whose adventures explore courage, forgiveness, friendship and trust in God. The series began in 2017 and is designed to entertain while encouraging conversations about faith and character.
The website and mobile app give families convenient ways to find episodes and enjoy the adventures together.
“We want children to be drawn into a great story—and for that story to give families something worth talking about afterward,” said Jean Boonstra, creator and leader of Discovery Mountain. “Making those stories easy to find and enjoy matters because it helps us reach families wherever they listen.”
Why the Awards Matter
The Davey Awards are part of Recognition Media, the organization behind the Webby Awards. The 2026 competition received thousands of entries, with work evaluated by members of the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts against standards tailored to each category.
The two awards highlight different strengths. One honors Discovery Mountain’s web presence in the Religion & Spirituality category; the other singles out the app’s user interface—a practical consideration for parents and children trying to find their next episode.
“Our goal was to make it easy for families to move from discovering Discovery Mountain to enjoying its stories,” said Stephen Adetumbi, who leads Profound Pixels,* the design team behind the Discovery Mountain website and app. “The website and app should feel welcoming and simple to use, so the technology never gets in the way of the story.”
That focus on families also shaped the testing process. Discovery Mountain co-executive producer Ruben Gomez helped evaluate the experience from a listener’s perspective.
“In testing, I kept coming back to the family’s experience: Could a parent or child easily find the story they wanted?” Gomez said. “We wanted listening to fit naturally into family life.”
The Adventures Continue
Discovery Mountain ranks among the top 0.5% of podcasts worldwide according to Listen Notes. Families can enjoy the series at DiscoveryMountain.com, in the Discovery Mountain mobile app, on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and through Minno’s ad-free Christian streaming service.
