Support the mission
Put your name behind
the Word on screen.
Bible in a Nutshell is free for the world — every episode, on YouTube, permanently. It exists because people like you choose to fund it. Here's exactly what your support does, and exactly where it goes.
Twenty-two seconds of proof
This is what your gift makes.
Now fund the next one.
Four real scenes from the films in production — the crossing of the sea, the camp beneath the pillar of fire, Enoch taken up, and the chariots of fire. Every one of them was paid for by support like yours.

What your gift animates
Your dollar has one job: finishing films.
Nine books — eight of the Bible plus the Book of Enoch — are in production right now, over 1,600 cinematic shots so far. Gifts don't disappear into an organization; they become seconds of finished film.

$10/monthCornerstone
Finishes a whole scene every month — five to eight shots, cut together, graded and scored.
$25/monthProducer
Moves whole acts — the kind of steady block that lets us plan entire books instead of single scenes.
$50/monthCredits Circle
Your name in the end credits of every film released while you carry us — written into the work itself.

Gifts go to PrayWorks Studios — the independent studio behind Bible in a Nutshell.
Radical transparency
Where every dollar goes.
One place: production. We don't run offices, salaries come last, and the finished scenes are public proof of where the money went.
Rendering & animation
Generating, retaking and grading the thousands of shots the films are made of — by far the biggest cost.
Sound & score
Voices, music and the soundscapes that make a valley feel deep and a storm feel close.
Cut & polish
Editing, timing and mastering — the difference between clips and cinema.
The work is the receipt. Every scene your gift finishes becomes public — support has a face, not a black box.
Free stays free. Bible in a Nutshell stays free on YouTube, permanently — your sponsorship funds the making, never the watching.
Watch it happen. Released books, new scenes, progress meters updated as production moves — you can see what's currently in the works at any moment.
The credits roll
Names that make it happen.
Monthly supporters at the Credits Circle level are written into the end credits of every film released while they carry us — and every supporter who wants to be named is honored here. From the first month of giving onward this section also carries a plain public ledger, one line per month: what came in, and what it rendered.
This space is reserved.
The first names to stand behind the mission will roll here — in motion, on the mission's front page, for as long as the films play.
Sponsor questions
Asked and answered.
Yes — any time, in two clicks, no email needed. Monthly gifts come with a self-service page where you can manage your gift, update your card or stop entirely.
No — we're an independent animation studio, not a registered charity, so gifts aren't tax-deductible. What we promise instead is simpler: everything you give goes into production.
Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay through Stripe's secure checkout, priced in US dollars. We never see or store your card details.
Yes. Larger sponsorships can be pointed at a specific book — Enoch, Samuel, Daniel, any of them — or at the feature-film fund. Use the Patron option above, or book a call, and we'll arrange it personally.
Bible in a Nutshell — every episode of every book — is free on YouTube, permanently. That's a promise. As the studio grows we may build bigger things beyond the series, but the series your giving funds will never move behind a paywall.
PrayWorks Studios — the independent studio behind the Bible in a Nutshell YouTube channel: 444,000 subscribers and 37 million views so far. Read about the studio, or see the work for yourself on YouTube.
