Streaks

Put God’s Word first.

Streaks help you build a habit, by showing you how many days in a row you use the Bible App. And if it looks like you might miss a day, the Bible App can send you a reminder. Streaks even reward you with special mini celebrations when you achieve new milestones.

“I love Streaks! My goal is to read the Bible every day… This impacts every aspect of my life: how I parent, how I run my business, and how I serve my church! Everything changes when He is my first!”

BIBI S.

Look for Streaks in your Home Feed, and start building your daily Bible habit this year!

Are you ready for Christmas?

Can you believe it’s almost here? Does that make you feel excited? Nostalgic? Anxious? In the busyness of the holiday season, it’s easy to find ourselves distracted from the reason we’re celebrating: the gift of Immanuel, “God with us.”

Advent begins today, December 2, giving us these four weeks leading up to Christmas to reflect on something truly awesome: the miracle of God choosing to enter the world in human form! We’ve selected these Plans to help you align your heart and mind with biblical truths about who Jesus is, and what his sacrifice means for our lives today:

Why Gratitude is Great for You

Verse Image - 1 Corinthians 15:57

Enjoy the Long-Term Benefits of Gratitude

Studies have shown that people who practice gratitude report experiencing more joy and pleasure, express more compassion and generosity towards others, and are even less likely to get sick.1 But it can be hard to sustain that spirit of thankfulness, especially when holiday busy-ness distracts you from the celebrations going on around you.

Here’s an easy way to set a daily gratefulness reminder: Start a Plan from our special collection of Thanksgiving-focused devotionals. Plans feed you a little Scripture every day, giving you a few moments to reflect, recharge, and hear from God’s Word.
