as actors & worship leaders,
we are passionate about bringing THE BIBLE to life
to help enable people to live god’s word
What do we lose when we read Scripture through 21st-century eyes?
What do we miss?
What do we fail to understand?
Nearly two thousand years separate us from the cultural and historical contexts of the biblical text. What we've lost is the ability to experience Scripture in the powerful way its first readers and hearers experienced it—as a living word spoken directly to particular communities with particular struggles, questions, fears, and hopes.
With Living Letters, Broadway actors Juliette and Stephen Trafton present dynamic, interactive performances that enable people to enter imaginatively into the drama of Scripture, providing a powerful new way to understand, experience, and live out the Word of God.
