For so long, everyone has been asking us to animate the entire Bible. And now, through PRAY.COM and Bible in a Year, we’re finally making our dreams come true!
Starting January 1st, we’ll be embarking on a journey through the entire Bible, animating every major story with cinematic storytelling and deep reflection.
Keep an eye out in your inbox for our new name, “Bible in a Year.”
We couldn’t be more thrilled about this new, epic adventure through the Bible.
Every day, we’ll send you a new video on the Bible, accompanied by in-depth reflection and our signature AI Bible style.
So, as we build up to this epic launch, let’s ask the question… What is the Bible, exactly?
The Bible is a long book, yes. But more than that, it is a single, breathtaking story woven through many authors, eras, and voices. From Genesis to Revelation, one theme pulses like a heartbeat: God pursuing His people, restoring His world, and inviting humanity into a life shaped by His love.
Let’s walk through that story the way the Bible itself tells it.
The story opens not with humanity, but with God. He’s the brilliant, generous Creator who brings light out of chaos and beauty out of nothing (Genesis 1:1–3).
He forms a world overflowing with life, a garden where order and abundance are God’s gift, not human achievement.
And into this world, God places humanity (or Adam) made in His image.
To bear God’s image is to reflect His character by cultivating creation, spreading goodness, and ruling not by domination but by stewardship.
Humanity’s work was always meant to be life-giving, echoing God's creative heart.
But love always includes freedom.
In the garden stands a tree… The tree of knowledge. Humanity could rule God’s world in cooperation with God, relying on His wisdom… or they could seize authority and define good and evil on their own terms.
A voice slithers into the story… a voice that whispers suspicion, independence, self-rule. And humanity chooses the second path.
The fallout is immediate: shame, blame, fractured relationships, violence, and eventually entire societies built on distorted values, epitomized by Babylon—a symbol of human power raised against God (Genesis 11).
When humanity unravels, God intervenes. Not to abandon but to redirect.
God calls Abraham and Sarah out of Babylon with a promise:
“Through you all nations of the earth will be blessed.” (Genesis 12:1–3)
A new people will be formed: Israel, a nation meant to live differently, to choose trust where others chose rebellion, and to embody a new humanity.
But the story is painfully honest.
Israel, like Adam and Eve, repeatedly chooses autonomy over obedience. Even their greatest leaders like Moses and David, were flawed. And eventually, Israel finds itself right back in Babylon, this time in exile.
If God’s people cannot remain faithful with God’s guidance, then who can?
Israel’s prophets point forward: God Himself will send a leader, a shepherd-king who will heal human hearts, bear their failures, and lead a renewed people into true life (Jeremiah 31:31–34; Ezekiel 36:26–27).
The Old Testament concludes with longing and promises awaiting fulfillment.

The New Testament opens with a name: Jesus of Nazareth, descendant of Israel’s kings.
Jesus does what Israel (and humanity) could not. He confronts evil and resists it. He announces that God’s kingdom has arrived, not through conquest but through self-giving love.
He teaches a radical definition of power:
True greatness is found in serving, not dominating. Real strength is expressed in loving… even enemies.
Then comes the astonishing claim at the heart of Christianity: God became human in Jesus to do for the world what the world could never do for itself.
Through His death and resurrection, Jesus absorbs evil and defeats it. Even death bows in surrender.
Once again, humanity faces a choice. This time it’s symbolized not by a tree in a garden, but by a cross on a hill.
To cling to the old way of self-rule… or to step into the new life Jesus offers.
Those who entrust themselves to Him are filled with God’s Spirit, empowered to live lives marked by forgiveness, compassion, restored relationships, and courageous love.
Across the world, communities begin forming. They’re called ‘churches.’ They’re imperfect but transformed, learning to embody the way of Jesus.
Their leaders, the apostles, write letters urging them to stay faithful, to endure persecution, and to cling to hope.
The Bible closes not with escape but with restoration.
A day is coming when Christ will return, evil will be finally undone, Heaven and Earth will be united, and humanity will once again rule with God. Only this time it will be forever. We’ll reflect His love, wisdom, and power (Revelation 21–22).
This is not just the story of the Bible. It is the story of the world.
And it is the story God invites each of us into.
The Bible tells a unified story of God’s relentless love. It tells us of a God who continues to create, pursue, heal, and ultimately renew all things through Jesus.
Every page points toward the God who refuses to give up on humanity… including you.
