The FIRST EVER fully animated Bible
Help us animate the Whole Bible and create free resources to help people understand it better!
We are animating the WHOLE Bible — book by book and verse by verse.
Have you ever read the Bible and couldn't understand what it was saying?
You're not alone.
Because...
60%
of people are visual learners.
and the Bible is plain text...
There's millions of people who struggle studying the Bible.
And that's a shame because...
But what if there was a way for us to "see" the Bible?
We believe the Bible deserves a true animated version handcrafted by God's people.
LivingWord is the first hand-drawn fully animated Bible.
(which means no modeled characters, no rigs, and, definitely, no AI. Just good old animation)
This isn’t just another animated Bible series
When we say "the whole Bible" we mean the WHOLE thing. Every book, every chapter, and every verse. From Genesis to Revelation.
To understand the Bible we need to pay attention to the cultural context of each portion.
And to interpret it properly we must be aware of what sort of literature we´re reading.

We are average Christians who believe the Bible is alive and powerful. We believe the Spirit is alive in us and empowering the Church to continue spreading His word and bringing it to new life as culture and times continue to evolve.

Aqui pegaría bien la parte de "imagine" en el cual tu enseñas un sneak peak de como seria "ver" la Biblia y estudiarla con este nuevo metodo. Despues un build up con entusiasmo para enseñar que YA ESTAMOS EMPEZANDO el 1st Episode y motivarlos a donate.
The 1st Episode!
All stories start at the beginning, and this is no exception. In our first episode we'll see the story of the world and everything in it, as well as the biblical image of what humanity is and God's intent for us.
Goal: $30,000 USD
Meet the Characters
Aqui yo pusiera casi un copy paste de lo que la "2nd page" dice (la pagina que sale cuando uno le da a work with us). Ahi enseña como uno puede ayudar a la causa y da 3 maneras diferentes de hacerlo. Donate, Collaborate, Share. La de share especialmente me parece muyy importante y hay que integrarla aqui en el main page ya que es la mas facil y la gente que no necesariamente tenga dinero para donate lo puede hacer.
This will be perfect for
christians
Bible studies
Youth groups
Devotionals
visual learners
churches
FAQS
Why does each episode cost $30,000 to produce?
Creating an animated Bible is a complex and costly process, from in-depth Bible study and scriptwriting to ensure theological accuracy, to all the cost of creating hand-drawn animation. We need to pay for voice acting, animating, compositing, editing, sound design, etc. But this cost doesn't only cover the production of the episodes themselves. There's a lot going on behind the curtains in an animation studio; things like software subscriptions, web hosting, social media and community management to name a few.
In summary every dollar contributes to making the first ever fully animated Bible in beautiful and engaging hand-drawn animation and all of our additional study resources.
How long will it take for the first episode to be released?
Short answer: It depends!
At our current speed, episode one will be ready anywhere from 4-6 more months. That's where you come in! As we get more supporters and can afford to have our team grow, episodes will be produced faster. Our goal for now is to speed up the process to 2-3 months per episode, and then be able to work in multiple episodes at a time!
Where can I watch the episodes once they are done?
Initially, our episodes will be released on our YouTube channel, so subscribe so you don't miss them! Soon after everyone will be able to find all our content here on our website. We also have plans to make a LivingWord app where the animated Bible and additional content will reside.
How will you animate abstract Bible passages?
We are commited to delivering a proper interpretation of all the Bible. This means we are taking Bible study, hermeneutics, and exegesis very seriously. The way we present every passage is going to depend on its literary style (narrative, poetry, or discourse), with this as our foundation we will then present a visual image that best fits the author's words and intention.
Our episodes will have additional study resources that will further explain our interpretative and graphic decisions, as well as the scholarly discussion on disputed issues.
