One small choice could change your year.

No matter what your year has looked like so far, God is always here for you. He longs for you to draw near to Him.

God loves you… and so do we.

That’s why we do the Mid-Year Challenge: to help you reconnect with God in a deeply personal way and discover His plans for your life. There are six months left in 2019 — what would it look like if you made time with God a daily habit?

Let’s start the Mid-Year Challenge and find out.

Between now and July 24, complete Bible Plan daily readings for seven days in a row, and you’ll earn our new 2019 Mid-Year Challenge Badge!

How do you grow closer to someone? You spend time with them. You talk to each other. You learn about one another. That’s also how we draw closer to God: by investing time in His Word, listening to Him, and talking to Him through prayer. Maybe you’re a pro at this, or maybe you’re trying to develop in this area of your life.

Did you know that at this point in the year, many people start to drop off from spending daily time with God?

That’s why we do the Mid-Year Challenge.

Grow in your intimacy with God and keep your Bible reading on track, all while completing Plans you love.

How to Start:

Between July 8th and July 24th, when you complete Bible Plan daily readings for seven days in a row, you’ll earn our shiny new 2019 Mid-Year Challenge Badge!

Choose a Plan of any length, or continue an existing Plan. If your Plan ends before 7 days, simply start another one after that. Just complete at least one Plan day, every day, for seven days in a row! (And make sure you check off each day as “completed.”)

If you complete 7 days in a row, you’ll earn the 2019 Mid-Year Challenge badge for your Bible App profile:

Get Started:

The Mid-Year Challenge begins in a few days, so we suggest you start looking for Plans now.

Tap Start, select With Friends, set the start date for July 8, and invite some friends to join you!

Busy schedule? Not a big reader?

Have Google Assistant or Alexa read your Plan to you! Choose the ones you love. Voilà! You’re now ready for the Mid-Year Challenge.

Thank God for Dads.

Think about the father figures who’ve made a positive impact in your life. Maybe they’ve shared wisdom, encouraged you, protected you, shown up when you needed it, or provided timely guidance.

This Father’s Day, show those men they matter by sharing an encouraging word from Scripture: like a Father’s Day Verse Image from your Bible App. It only takes a moment to let a dad know you care.
