What's a great way to lead your family?

Start with a verse.

Many families enjoy choosing a "Family Bible Verse" that defines everything they value most. Never had a family verse before? A theme verse is like an anchor for your family: you can choose it together, memorize it together, lean on it together, and rally together around it.

Share your family verse with us, and your family could win a prize pack picnic basket. Just use the Bible App to make a Verse Image for your family verse (here's how), then share it on Twitter, Instagram, or at Facebook.com/YouVersion, using #OurFamilyVerse.

Winners will be treated to everything you need for a family picnic: a custom YouVersion picnic blanket, tumblers, treats, and other snacking essentials!*

Here are just a few of our favorite verses to help you get started:

…choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve… as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15, NKJV

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a
light for my path.
Psalm 119:105, NLT

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Jeremiah 29:11–13, NIV
