Raising a family is hard.


What does it mean to
be a “Good Parent”?

Raising a family can be hard. We all want to give our kids more than we had—security and stability, enriching experiences, and opportunities to grow. How do we lead our children spiritually, towards creating a better world?

Thankfully, we don’t have to figure it out alone. Many have gone before us, documenting their experiences with things that worked for them. These Bible Plans can help you through different stages on your journey:

Bible Lens is Leaving May 31

Bible Lens

So long, Bible Lens.
Thanks for the memories!

Bible Lens

In 2018, we launched Bible Lens to help reveal Scripture in your life’s special moments. And it’s possible that one day this feature could live inside the Bible App.

But, for now, rather than continuing to expand Bible Lens, we’re focusing instead on creating new features that help you seek God every day—like Prayer and Verse of the Day Stories—with more on the way.

Although Bible Lens will be removed from the app stores and will no longer work after May 31, you can keep your Bible Lens moments by saving them to your camera roll before May 31st.

Thank you for being a special part of our global YouVersion Community, and for experiencing this journey with us. We’re so grateful for all the ways you shared each amazing Bible Lens a-ha! moment.

Here’s how you can still create your own
Verse Images in the Bible App >>

Think of a mom who inspires you…

Honor her for all that her hands have done - Proverbs 31:31 - Verse Image

Take a moment to reflect on all the special moms you know… Your friend who’s always there when you need her. That neighbor who takes such great care of her family. The woman at work who inspires you to be the best version of yourself. And, of course, there’s your own mom.

Today is a great day to tell all your favorite moms how much you appreciate them. Say “thank you” with this special Verse Image. (Most moms we know really appreciate phone calls, too.)
