Don’t Go Hungry in 2013

Man does not live on bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4).

Don’t just feed your stomach in the coming year, feed your soul. Join together with your friends, your church, or us, and make a New Year’s resolution that will bring you closer to God through His Word. Resolve to read through the entire Bible.


Reading through the Bible is an incredible opportunity to dig into the Word and grow in your understanding of the scriptures. Reading the entire Bible gives you the ability to identify major themes, topics, and ideas that span from Genesis to Revelation. Faithlife makes reading through the whole Bible easy. Just join or create a group by logging into Faithlife.com. Invite your friends, family, or church to become members too! Select the “Read the Bible in 2013” reading plan and dive into the Word. As you and your group work your way through the reading plan together share prayer requests and notes with the Community Notes feature. The digital reading plan will not only notify you about what to read, but if you miss a day, it will find a way to catch you up!

2013 is only a week away. Make a New Year’s resolution that will feed your soul. Read the entire Bible in a year with Faithlife.

Faithlife: Bringing Your Family Together

As Thanksgiving approaches, families are getting ready to connect for good food and fellowship. But it can be challenging when the holidays come to a close. My family is not only spread across the U.S., but even extends internationally to India. Once the festivities are over and the last of the leftovers are put away, it can be hard to head home and leave loved ones.

Saying goodbye can be difficult, but it’s easier than ever to stay connected. This year, you can stay connected to your family with Faithlife and through the Faithlife Study Bible.

Here’s what I’ve done to keep my family close:

  • I created a custom Faithlife group.
  • I started a group reading plan to keep us engaged.
  • I invited all my family members via email to the Faithlife group.
  • Once everyone joined the group, I sent them to unlock the FSB with the coupon code FREE.
  • I showed them how to get the FSB app on their Apple or Android device.

The Faithlife community helps me stay connected. I keep them updated on what’s going on in my life, and get to see their latest news, too. With Faithlife’s privacy settings, I can make sure that this is a safe place for my family to connect, share, and grow together around God’s Word.

Take advantage of the opportunity this Thanksgiving to create a custom Faithlife group for your family, and get the FSB!

Faithlife and the FSB at the Defined by God Conference 2012

Defined by God

Faithlife and the Faithlife Study Bible complement each other. Whether through group reading plans, Community Notes, or shared passages, both work toward the same end: more and better Bible study together.

We were recently at the Defined by God Conference in San Diego, CA, where we used the FSB and the Faithlife community to connect pastors’ wives around the Word. The FSB worked seamlessly with Proclaim, Logos’ church presentation software, to receive signals throughout the conference. Attendees—

  • Interacted with speakers on Faithlife’s social platform
  • Shared experiences and thoughts about main sessions
  • Received mobile Bible verses, prayer requests, and more
  • Connected with others from the same area
  • Stayed up to date with conference events

Defined by God ConferenceMany attendees commented that they wished they’d had Faithlife and the FSB earlier in their ministry. Others said that they wanted to use it back home for their small groups, youth ministry, discipleship programs, and more.

Faithlife and the FSB are your opportunity to dig deeper into the Word with your family, friends, and Christian community. Get the Faithlife Study Bible free through March 2014!
