About Theophany Studios

We’re building a new way to experience the Bible.

Theophany lets people sit face to face with the men and women of Scripture, ask them anything, and watch their stories come to life while they talk. It runs on the phone already in everyone’s pocket. We’re starting in English and building for the world’s major languages.

Why this, why now

People want to engage with Scripture. Nobody lets them talk back.

Most digital Bible and faith products are one-way: text to read, audio to listen to, a guided prayer to follow. Almost none offer a real conversation with the people who lived the story, and most exist in only a handful of languages.

The demand is proven. Hallow has shown that tens of millions of people will engage with a serious faith experience on their phone. What’s missing is the conversation, paired with images that put you in the scene.

Live AI video, speech and image generation have only recently become good enough, and affordable enough, to do this well. That’s the gap Theophany fills.

What we’re building

Two core products, one way in, and one long-term service.

Theophany Interactive and Theophany Media are the experience. Theophany Channel brings people to it. Theophany Giving serves the ministries and non-profits that use it.

Core productPrototype live

Theophany Interactive

Live, face-to-face video conversations with people from the Bible. Each one has their own personality, voice and life story, grounded in Scripture. Ask anything; when they mention a passage, the text appears beside them.

Paul is live in the prototype. Moses, David, Mary, Peter, Esther and others are next.

Core productIn production

Theophany Media

A growing library of images, video and mixed media that brings the people, places and moments of Scripture to life, carefully matched to each period of history. It appears inside conversations and stands on its own as a resource.

More than 20 finished scenes so far, with a map of 150 major scenes from Genesis to Revelation.

How people find usNext

Theophany Channel

Short and long-form video on social media. The first campaign answers the top 100 questions people ask about God, in the voices of the people who lived it, using Theophany Media. Every video points back to the app.

English first, then the top 10 languages.

Long-term servicePlanned

Theophany Giving

Billing, ministry packages and donation tools for non-profits and churches. It draws on our team’s experience building church payment infrastructure at Subsplash, so ministries can use Theophany and support their work in one place.

Comes after the core products are established.
