WHAT YOU’RE SAYING

“My reading disability has always affected me…”

CHRIS, UNITED STATES

For years, when it came to reading the Bible, I was limited to a surface-level understanding.

But when I started using the OpenDyslexic font in YouVersion and listening to Audio Bibles, my experience completely changed. I could finally fully encounter God through His Word.

My reading disability has been a source of shame, but having YouVersion care about my needs helps me feel supported and known.

P.S. To listen to Audio Bibles, open your favorite Bible version in the app and tap the speaker icon at the top of your screen.

God’s Word Changes Lives

Sharing a Bible

When Craig Groeschel was in college, he was hurting and lost.

“I didn’t like who I was becoming.”

But all that changed when he was given a free Bible, and God’s Word changed his life forever…

Think about the impact God’s Word could have on the people around you—your friends, family, or co-workers.

Right now, allow God to work through you by inviting three people in your life to discover the Bible on YouVersion.

Share YouVersion

It might change their lives forever—just like it did for Craig all those years ago.

“God’s Word ignited something in me.”

When you hear worship artist Ryan Ellis play one of his songs, you know it’s exactly what he was made to do.

But to Ryan, his purpose wasn’t always so clear…

Growing up, Ryan lived close to the poverty line, and started breaking into houses and stealing. He moved from city to city, trying to find direction and meaning.

No matter what he pursued, Ryan always felt empty and unfulfilled.

Until his mom started texting him Bible verses from YouVersion…

With every text, God transformed Ryan’s heart and empowered him to step into his calling.

“I could finally see the whole love story.”

Today, the “Heart of the Father” singer writes and performs music that helps people encounter the presence of God.

But, he might not have discovered that purpose if it hadn’t been for his mom’s faithfulness in sharing Scripture with her son.

Reading God’s Word daily has the power to transform your life—just like it did Ryan’s.

If you’d like to consistently read Scripture, the Verse of the Day is a great place to start.

Discover how to have the Verse of the Day sent to you every day—and then watch how God changes your life as you seek Him.
