Family Time = The Best Time

Train up children in the way they should go [teaching them to seek God's wisdom and will for their abilities and talents]. Even when they're old, they won't depart from it. - Proverbs 22:6 - Family sitting on grass playing Bible App for Kids

Make the most of Family Time.

When you create safe spaces for your kids to play, experiment, ask questions, and most of all — to have fun with you — you build long-term trust and a deeper relationship. Here are some fun, easy activities you can do with your kids to make the most of your time together.

Take a nature walk.

Where you go doesn’t matter, as long as you’re together. Along the way, talk about God’s place in your family, and about your place in His family.

Play “Where are we?”

Take selfies together with fun or mysterious backgrounds, then post them for your friends and family to guess. (Bonus: Try this one with Bible Lens!)

Decorate your Family Verse.

Pick a verse, write it in fancy letters on nice paper, and decorate it together. Examples: Unity, Generosity, Humility, Love, or find your own.

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!

Coming Soon to a Bible App Near You…

2019 Mid-Year Challenge

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.

Find Plans

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!

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