What Is This?

A creative paraphrase of the Bible in modern language. Same truth, new words. Not a formal translation — think of it like The Message but for Gen Z.

It's a paraphrase, not a word-for-word translation. We always recommend reading alongside an established translation like the ESV or NIV. The original meaning is preserved — we just changed the words.

Created by Ryan Brents. Built with a passion for making Scripture accessible to people who've never opened a Bible — or who gave up on the old-English versions.

Absolutely. It's great for youth groups, small groups, personal study, or just getting someone interested in reading the Bible for the first time. Check out our resources for leaders.

The ESV (English Standard Version) is the primary reference text. Every verse is checked against the original.

Tapping any underlined word shows a quick definition. Biblical terms, people, and places are all tagged with explanations. See the full glossary.
