YouVersion is both an iPhone app and an internet website that combines the Bible in multiple versions with social networking features. If you go to YouVersion.com, you can see the full functionality of all that this unique online Bible offers. But the coolest new feature is YouVersion LIVE, which gives churches and other groups the ability to interact with the congregation.

The feature was turned on this past Wednesday and we created our first live event for Faith. We have since created a few other live events. We are learning what we can do and how to make it better. We are not only using it for worship services, but for special events, such as the Tim Hawkins concert on November 8. Go to YouVersion.com/groups/Faith to see what we’re doing.

Hey! Like the new theme? It’s “Antisocial” from WooThemes. It simplifies the site and gives it a cleaner look.

In setting up the new theme, I realized that I recently incorporated a new plug-in that I haven’t mentioned, but you might have noticed. It’s Disqus, and it takes over and improves upon built-in WordPress commenting system.

Disqus Comments is only one half of the Disqus experience. The other half is Disqus Profile, which allows you to publish your comments on a variety of social networks you are probably using, like Facebook and Twitter.

I think I first heard about Disqus at ChurchCrunch, where they’ve had a few posts about the service.

I don’t know how well this all works. I don’t even know exactly what it will look like when it works. So, make some comments, and we’ll find out together.
