2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
“There has been a noticeable shift in patterns” of Bible engagement “over the past two years,” YouVersion said. “In March 2020, when people weren’t able to attend church in person, weekday Bible engagement increased by 10 percent and continued to rise in the following weeks.
As churches began to reopen, Bible engagement spikes on Sundays returned, but not at the expense of daily engagement habits. “Coming off of a record year in 2020, we’re excited to see that so many people are continuing the daily Bible engagement habits they created last year,” said YouVersion founder Bobby Gruenewald.
