Lead your family:
Start with Scripture.

Do you have a Family Verse? A Family Verse serves as a compass point for your family, a helpful reminder of the principles that you value most together. Your Family Verse can be a single Bible verse, or even a short passage that you choose together as a family, memorize together, and discuss how to live out — together.

Share your Family Verse as a Verse Image, and your family could win.

It’s easy to share verses from the Bible App as images. Just tap a passage to select it, then tap Image. For popular verses, we offer hundreds of Verse Images professionally designed by graphic artists. (See below for examples.)

If you’d rather make your own, select one of our high definition images as your background, or even a picture from your own photo roll. Customize your image with fonts, colors, and other effects, then save it to your Bible App Home feed. From there, it’s easy to share your new Verse Image as an SMS message, in an email, or on your social media.

Share your Family Verse Image with us on Instagram, Twitter, or at Facebook.com/YouVersion. Just be sure you include the hashtag #OurFamilyVerse so we can find your entry!¹

Family Verse Ideas

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you…” Jeremiah 29:11 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. Ephesians 5:2 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. Hebrews 13:16 …let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. 1 John 3:18 …Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults… Ephesians 4:2 And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers. 1 John 4:21

Tell us your family’s YouVersion story.

…I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes…

ROMANS 1:16

Today, for the third day of Family Bible Week, please share your YouVersion stories with us. How does your family use the Bible App? What has the Bible App for Kids meant to the children in your life?

We’d love to hear from you about how the Bible App and/or the Bible App for Kids have helped transform your family.

You’re welcome to include pictures with your story. Or, if you’d like to make a short video to tell us your family’s YouVersion story, we’d love to see it.¹

A Few Stories…

“This is how we use the YouVersion Bible App: every morning, I start by reading and reflecting on the Verse of the Day. Then my wife and I read a chapter of Scripture before we pray or we read one of the Plans together. It helps us in our morning discussions on the glory of our Lord and things we pray about. It also helps us in starting our day focused on Him.”
– Mark

“I have been a Christian for 35 years. I have always wanted to read the Bible through in a year but always quit around April. I started the One-Year Chronological Bible last fall. I have given myself freedom to not be militant with it and have had more success. I am very grateful for this tool that allows me to be in God’s Word on a daily basis (getting ready for work, in the car, sitting on my back porch —wherever!). I am thankful for the example it sets for my young adult children.”
– Dianne

“Both of our children are adopted. Our daughter Isabella is from Russia and was adopted at the age of 1. She is now 8 years old. Our son Alexander is from Haiti and was adopted at the age of 3. He is now 5 years old. As Alexander learned a new language and adjusted to being in a new family, we used the YouVersion Bible App for Kids to teach him all of the great Bible stories and about Jesus. He loved it when he first came home, and he still loves it today. He learned so much about Jesus through using it. Also, both of my children were excited to read the Bible because of the Bible App for Kids.”
– Peggy

“We have five children still at home, four that home school. We chose to do a group read through the Bible, taking one book at a time, jumping wherever the Lord led us. It was awesome! It took us fifteen months to complete. The Bible App was an instrumental tool that helped us all follow along as each person read aloud. We were able to read out of the same version (NIV). My children’s reading proficiency and speed increased substantially! My second grader went from being a struggling reader to now reading 120 words per minute. I credit this all to reading God’s word. Put His word first and watch everything else fall into place.”
– Kathryn

Gather your family around God’s Word.

Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds… Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

DEUTERONOMY 11:18–19 NIV

The best way to help your family consistently connect with the Bible… is to invest time in it together. That’s why today, for the second day of Family Bible Week, we’re presenting this special blend of Bible Plans for your whole family.
