unleashing the power of the Bible by letting it speak for itself
The Outloud Bible Project is on a mission to read the entire Bible in an approachable and conversational way. Through live presentations, podcasts, and short-form videos, you will develop a fresh understanding of the Bible so you can grow in the life God has for you.
The Bible was never meant to stay words on a page. It was meant to be shared and spoken, up front and out loud in people’s lives. Ezra read the Book of the Law on stage to an entire city, and they were moved to tears and action (Nehemiah 8:3-6). Timothy was told to devote himself to the public reading of Scripture (1 Timothy 4:13).
The Bible is a conversation between you and your loving Creator.
By experiencing the Bible out loud, with the emotions and urgency of its author, you can recognize your role in this conversation and better understand your relationship with God.
Mike Domeny, through Outloud Bible Project, helps you do this through live performances, the OBP Podcast, and video.
Frustrated by the lack of engagement by people in his church, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1675, approached famous actor Thomas Betterton. He asked Betterton why people in theatres would laugh, cry, think, and be transformed, but people in church would stare blankly and walk out unchanged. Check out his response:
Why out loud?
Hi, I’m Mike
After traveling North America for over a decade with a professional improv ministry (321 Improv), I felt God calling me to “a new thing”: to take my experience as an actor and apply it to communicating the Bible to unleash it as the living, active Word it is.
Experience a live performance of Scripture
Mike Domeny lends his 15+ years of professional acting experience to these fully memorized, fully embodied performances of Scripture. You won’t be watching a recital. You’ll be experiencing the living, active Word of God in a surprisingly refreshing way.
“Our church and community came to see a performance. They left with a greater understanding of Scripture.”
What serves your people best? Mike can prepare customized, memorized performances of Scripture on your request to fit your event’s theme or series.
