Times Square and The Sphere in Las Vegas will be lighting up this November as YouVersion celebrates "Beyond a Billion" downloads of its Bible app. Join Phil Cooke https://philcooke.com in this conversation with Bobby Gruenewald, founder and CEO of YouVersion to talk about the upcoming event and new features of the Bible app for churches and individuals. A free download, the Bible app provides 2,300 versions of the Bible in over 70 languages, daily inspiration with Bible verses for healing, anxiety, sleep, marriages, and more; plus devotional plans for women, devotionals for men, and even devotionals for kids.

With social sharing features built in and opportunities to work through a Bible plan with a friend or a small group, you're not alone when you use the Bible app. As Gruenewald states, "If you've got a felt need, an issue, or a topic to explore, we probably have a Bible plan for you."
