In January, SportsLife Leadership executives Dan Britton and Jimmy Page surpassed a milestone of one million Bible Plan completions on the YouVersion Bible App.
“Our goal has always been to connect people to God’s Word. The YouVersion Bible App allows us to create devotional-style content that invites engagement with scripture and creates community.” – Dan Britton
Launched in 2008 as a ministry of Life.Church, YouVersion was one of the first apps on Apple’s App Store. Initially featuring the Bible in a limited number of versions, it has grown to include over 3,700 translations in more than 2,400 languages.
In November 2025, YouVersion celebrated one billion installs worldwide and reported that on the first Sunday in January 2026, over 22 million people used the app in a single day. The app offers thousands of Bible Plans from independent authors, churches, and ministries, with multi-day devotionals ranging from three days to a year.
“Life.Church could have developed YouVersion for their own purpose and outreach. Instead, they’ve opened it to hundreds of ministries and authors, expanding Kingdom reach.” – Dan Britton
Britton and Page began their partnership with YouVersion in December 2013 with a four-day devotional based on their book, One Word That Will Change Your Life. They recognized an opportunity to make their content more accessible through YouVersion.
“You often don’t know who reads the book after purchase,” Page explained. “But with YouVersion Bible Plans, we can see people are reading and completing the content. It’s a blessing to know our material is impacting lives.”
Since joining YouVersion, Britton and Page have added eight more Bible Plans, including devotionals based on Wisdom Walks, Life Word, True Competitor, and Called To Greatness. Their plans have seen 1.6 million subscriptions, and of the one million plan completions, the devotional for One Word That Will Change Your Life (in 60 languages) leads with over 750,000 completions. Their content has reached nearly every country and territory, with the U.S., Brazil, Germany, South Africa, and Canada as the top five.
“This milestone represents 13 years of partnership with Dan and Jimmy, whose passion matches ours for getting God’s Word into hands and hearts everywhere,” said Justin Tarsiuk, YouVersion Director of Partnerships. “The true impact is measured in lives shaped over time. Behind these 1 million completions are coaches leading with integrity and athletes grounding their identity in Christ.”
Using this momentum, Britton and Page are developing additional Bible Plans for SportsLife Leadership.
“What we learned to get a million completions serves as a catalyst,” Page said. “It refines our process and helps us better reach the sports leadership community.”
They are creating multi-language Bible Plans for resources like SportsLife Wrestling’s Faith On The Mat, targeting communities in Faith RXD (CrossFit) and jiu-jitsu.
“Every leadership training or discipleship program will have attached Bible Plans. We’ll write plans tailored to each sport community, enhancing our outreach.” – Jimmy Page
As these plans are released, SportsLife leaders will use them for training sessions and Bible studies.
“We’re building a network of certified SportsLife Leaders who can produce content for us,” Page explained. “This expands our ability to create plans beyond just Dan and me.”
“Working with YouVersion is an incredible opportunity,” Britton concluded. “Our commitment is to encourage sports leaders to engage with God’s Word, leveraging technology to achieve that goal.”
