Getting (back) into reading the Bible doesn’t have to be hard

Been putting off reading the Bible? It's never too late.

The trick to making positive changes that stick (like spending time in God's Word) is simply picking something small, then repeating it every day. And that's just what Bible Plans do.

Each day, the Bible App gives you a short, manageable passage to read or listen to. If you like, you can have your Plan remind you when to read, or even email you with each day's reading.

The best strategy is to start with a shorter Plan, just a few days. As soon as you complete it (yay!), start your next one. Over time, you'll see a habit form, and you'll gain the confidence to take on longer, more in-depth Plans. You can do this!

We're convinced that one of the best ways to engage with the Bible every day is to use the Bible App to complete one short Plan after another. And did you know: if you do something consistently for just about three weeks, you can begin to lock it in as a habit? That's why we started the 21-Day New Year Challenge: to help inspire you to connect with God's Word every day for three weeks.


If you complete the day's selections from at least one Bible Plan each day from January 1 to January 21, you'll earn a special 21-Day New Year Challenge badge on your YouVersion profile.


Here's what you can expect

For each of the first 7 days of the Challenge, we'll send you a tip for a simple way you can connect with God's Word. And during the Challenge, if you tweet what Plan you're reading — don't forget to include the hashtag #BibleFor21 — you'll be entered to win one of the following: a YouVersion prize pack, an iPad mini, or an Android Nexus 7 tablet. And for those who complete the whole challenge, one lucky winner will get an iPad Air! Check our blog for rules and details.
