Videos Feature Comes to the Bible App

We're excited to announce the launch of a brand-new feature for the Bible App: Videos.

You'll find clips from The Bible miniseries, The Lumo Project from Big Book Media and Toy Gun Productions, and even more videos coming soon.

At YouVersion, we're constantly looking for new ways to help you engage with God's Word. We believe Videos will help people connect with the Bible by letting them visually experience stories and concepts from the Bible—even if reading isn't your favorite thing. Sharing video clips will also present new opportunities for you to invite discussion about your faith. And all video content is linked directly to the passages that inspired it, so you can jump straight to the original source!

To check out the Bible App's new Videos feature, first make sure you have the most recent version of the Bible App on your iOS (iPhone and iPad) or Android device. Then simply go to the Bible App's main menu and select "Videos." (Wi-Fi access recommended for the best experience.) You'll even see the new Videos feature on Bible.com.

The Bible Series

Thank you for your efforts to support The Bible series! Millions of you shared it with your friends and tuned in to make last Sunday's premiere a record-breaking event for cable television.

The Bible series continues every Sunday night in March!
