A Prayer for True Justice

Our hope for the YouVersion Community is for each person to be on a journey, drawing closer to God and seeking His heart every day. As a community, we have a lot we need to talk about. What happened to George Floyd, and to many others before him, and what continues to happen is tragic, heartbreaking, and unjust. These things should never happen to anyone. We should celebrate the diversity of our global church, but we must also address the disparity that continues to exist. We have a lot of work to do, together, uniting in love as brothers and sisters in Christ. Let’s pray for boldness—that can only come from our Savior—to confront the injustices and racism in our world.

A Conversation with Letitia Wright

You probably recognize Letitia Wright as Shuri, the technological genius stealing scenes from her brother King T’Challa in 2018’s Marvel blockbuster, Black Panther. But Letitia has actually been appearing on television since 2011, receiving nominations for an Emmy and a British Independent Film Award (among many others), and winning a BAFTA award and an NAACP Image Award. And if you follow her on social media, you’ll also know that Letitia boldly proclaims her faith in Christ.

In this exclusive video, Letitia reveals the Bible verse a friend shared with her that set her on the path toward finding new life in Jesus. She also shares why the Bible App means so much to her.

Join Letitia for Overcoming

When you see the vibrant spirit and abundant joy that she radiates today, it’s hard to imagine that Letitia once struggled with depression and self-doubt. Join Letitia in her new 3-day Video Plan, Overcoming, and let her encourage you with the same Scriptures that helped her discover victory and confidence in her identity in Christ.

What are your #RelationshipGoals?

Row of different colors

Have a Plan
for Every
Relationship.

Whether you’re single, dating, married, or “it’s complicated,” your relationships matter to God. We are all commanded to “love the Lord your God … and love your neighbor as yourself.”

It’s challenging to love others well if you don’t love God first. But loving God isn’t enough. His love needs to transform the way you view yourself. When you see yourself the way God sees you, you can love others the way God loves you. To have #RelationshipGoals, seek God first in every relationship.

What’s your relationship status?

If you’re dating (or thinking about it), here are some biblical principles to follow.
