I can’t remember a more profound, startling, and meaningful talk than this message from my friend Tim Mackie during the @247PrayerUSA gathering a few days ago. I wish I had adequate words to encourage watching/listening to it. youtu.be/HQlH-WfmZms

In the middle of chaotic times, there was a hope we could cling to: God is actively at work in our world. Here’s what He’s done through YouVersion in 2021… bit.ly/3ogvHaF
Blown away by what we’ve seen God do. Thankful for countless partners who’ve made YouVersion what it is. And for the best team on earth who literally makes it & supports it & expands it & localizes it & enriches it. We really believe that we’re just getting started. 1 billion 👀

Did you know Luke and Acts tell one story? BibleProject has partnered with @YouVersion to create a Reading Plan in 30 languages. Spend the next 40 days on “A Journey through Luke & Acts,” and experience the one story of two books. tbp.xyz/lukeactsplan
For the first time, you can watch all eight, full-length Season 1 episodes of @thechosentv on YouVersion. A great way to prepare for Easter.

A few weeks ago I hit 10 years working at @YouVersion and @lifechurch. The team gave me the coolest gift, a book full of meaningful, funny, and even sarcastic (my love language) thoughts. They also gathered some amazing stats from the past decade.
I’m thankful for the leadership of @craiggroeschel, @bobbygwald, @terrystorch, and so many others at @lifechurch who aren’t afraid to dream big and take risks. Even when it comes to hiring. Well, at least ten years ago 😉.
Speaking of which, we’re hiring! We have a bunch of new openings right now. You could have a cool book like this ten years from now. life.church/careers/youversi…
