How to use an outloud Bible presentation in your church or event:

Kick off your series of your Bible book study with a dramatized reading of the book.

Generate excitement and increase engagement for your upcoming series with an event that introduces key themes and aids in understanding. If you want to introduce new music for the series, we can coordinate with your praise team to integrate songs. Supplemental resources for further study are available for your people, as well.

Conference and festival main session openers, morning Bible reading sessions, and breakouts.

Point your attendees back to the Scriptures that inspired your conference or event theme. Begin main sessions with short readings of God’s Word, or offer breakout sessions that encourage and demonstrate reading the Bible out loud.

Celebrate the finale of your Bible book series with an engaging church-wide event.

You’ve taught through an entire book over the course many weeks. Congratulations! Let’s put it all together into one memorable service. Your people will recall your various teachings as they hear it all in rich, engaging context again. Your praise team can lead your people in some of their favorite songs of the past weeks, and even highlight testimonies from your congregation to share what God has done through the series!

Need a week off? We offer pulpit relief with a memorable experience with Scripture.

Rest knowing your congregation is in good hands as they listen to the inerrant Word of God. We can craft a presentation to fit within your standard service, and coordinate with your praise team and other volunteers, so you can take a much-needed break!

FEATURED presentations

1 Corinthians

Let’s be honest: Church is messy! If it weren’t for all the people, we might be able to coast through, but with all the opinions, preferences, behaviors—not to mention sin!—sharing the same space each week, tensions are sure to bubble up. 

Paul’s letter to the Corinthians offers guidelines of grace and truth for churches where love and division, beauty and brokenness all share the same pew.


JOSEPH

One of the most dramatic narrative arcs in the Bible simply begs to be read out loud. Through Joseph’s story of betrayal, favor, injustice, dreams, and fulfillment, we are struck by the eternal truth that nothing can ruin God’s plans.

With a duration that fits nicely in any Sunday morning service, this presentation is surefire way to spark Biblical wonder in your people.

Matthew

Matthew wrote his gospel to emphasize what Jesus said. As a result, we have a tremendous collection of his sermons. What better way to learn how to follow Jesus than to listen to his own teachings?

This presentation offers the portions of the book of Matthew that contain his most popular teachings, with musical underscores and interludes.

tIMOTHY & TITUS

You will be immersed in the stirring words of the apostle Paul as he encourages, exhorts, and empowers his trusted companions through his three letters to Timothy and Titus.

These letters pulse with practical wisdom, courage in the face of opposition, and the relentless call to live with integrity, faith, and purpose. Hearing them read aloud brings a fresh immediacy to the text—bridging ancient truth to modern hearts.

What serves your people best? Let’s talk about how to ignite the spoken Word of God in your gathering.

What to expect (FAQ)

  • We have permission to read from the New Living Translation (NLT) in our live presentations. The NLT was, in fact, written to be read out loud, and its conversational tone and approachability is unmatched.

  • The presentation opens with a brief, biblical explanation of “What is public reading of the Bible, and why does it matter?”, as well as any context of the book or passage to aid in understanding.

    Then, we read the Bible—not dryly—but with the emotion, intent, and approachability with which it was written (see “What is a ‘dramatized reading’?” below)

    Musical underscoring and occasional interludes throughout give time to pause and reflect.

    After the 45-60 minute presentation, we host a 15-30 minute talk-back discussion and offer free resources to point people to their next steps in their walk with Jesus and their own understanding of Scripture.

  • It’s not a play, a drama, or a recital. We call it “dramatized reading” for two reasons:

    (1) First, it is a reading. We hold the Bible in our hands and read the words as written. In the past, we performed memorized books and passages, and the feedback often focused on the memorization, like “Oh, I could never do that!” And while we believe memorization is important and possible, we ultimately want people to focus on the message of the Bible itself and say, “Oh! I can do that!”

    (2) Second, when we say “dramatized,” we are trying to avoid two unhelpful extremes when it comes to reading the Bible out loud: “dramatic” for the sake of some emotional experience, or “dry” for the sake of some “straight reading.” We seek to portray the emotion, urgency, and mission of the text as faithfully as we can, based on the context and intent of the author.

  • Yes! It is important to us that we offer these experiences for free to churches and church groups.

    We depend on God’s radical generosity through individuals, so we invite donations after the presentation.

    We are based in New England. Events requiring overnight travel are subject to travel expenses.

    For conferences or other events where a talk-back or breakout is not possible, we may request a stipend. Please contact us for more information.

  • We would be honored to share God’s Word with your people in this way!

    Please contact us and tell us what you have in mind, and we look forward to serving you and your group.

  • Yes, schedule permitting, we can prepare a customized presentation to fit your church series or conference theme.
