WHAT LOSING MY 284 DAY STREAK ON THE YOUVERSION BIBLE APP TAUGHT ME
When the YouVersion Bible app first added streaks and perfect weeks last year, I was a little sceptical. I may or may not have had thoughts along the lines of: “Um… why?” “This isn’t Snapchat!” “Let’s not force it now. In the world but not of it… remember?!” But I can admit when I’m wrong […]
